World football champion (and simply amazing) Lionel Messi has won his eighth career Ballon d’Or (attention!)! Manchester City’s striker Erling Haaland ranked second, while Paris Saint-Germain’s star Kylian Mbappe ranked third.
In 2016, Messi said: “I would trade my five Ballon d’Ors or trophies to win just one World Cup for Argentina.” And they were still hearing about him: First he won the America’s Cup. And December 18, 2022 is a date that Messi will remember for the rest of his life… This is the day he became World Champion!
Let’s remember that Messi spent the last two years (from 2021 to 2023) at PSG, where he fought for the Champions League together with Mbappe, Neymar, Di Maria, Verratti and other football stars, but failed to win the coveted title. glass. The Argentinian striker currently plays for David Beckham’s club and is very successful (how could it be otherwise?). He recently became the footballer with the most titles in history (he has 44 trophies to his name!).
Of course, today is Lionel Messi’s day, but we can’t help but celebrate Erling Haaland’s amazing season. The 23-year-old achieved the treble with City last season, scoring 52 goals in 52 games (an incredible figure). Meanwhile, the other day, Manchester City head coach Pep Guardiola said: “I sympathize with both Messi and Haaland. If Messi wins, it will be a fair victory because of the World Cup. If Haaland wins it will be fair because of the season he’s had.” Fair enough, but there’s only one Ballon d’Or and it’s in Lionel Messi’s hands again today.
One day Leo will say: “I still feel like a child who begs his mother for a ball and goes out to play with it. The day this feeling disappears, I will quit football!” It’s a good thing we’ll never find out.
