Rumor has it that Messi has been announced by the organizers to win the 2023 Golden Ball, with the gala ceremony taking place on October 30 in Paris.
According to breaking news from Andrea Ideylie Perola and is currently spreading widely on social networks: Messi has been announced to win the 8th Golden Ball of his career.
This source confirmed that a representative of France Football magazine visited and took pictures of Messi’s family. He will be present at the awards gala in Paris on October 30.
Messi has won 7 Golden Balls in his career
Messi, despite moving to the US to play football for Inter Miami, is the number 1 candidate for this year’s Golden Ball title after inspiring Argentina to reach the top of the world at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, for the first time since In 1986.
At this tournament, Messi won the Best Player. He set a scoring record in all rounds, with 7 goals.
In the PSG shirt, although his fate was not happy and could not ‘work magic’ to help the team succeed in the C1 Cup, Messi still achieved significant personal statistics, especially in the stage of assists in addition to scoring goals.
The person most capable of competing with Messi is Erling Haaland, with his treble record with Man City and breaking a series of records in the Premier League.
Will Haaland have to finish second because of Messi’s World Cup success with Argentina?
The Norwegian striker scored 52 goals in 53 matches for Man City, is the top scorer in the Premier League (36 goals) and Champions League (12 goals). Haaland also won the individual titles of Best Player of the Year from UEFA, the British Professional Footballers’ Association,…
However, Haaland is at a disadvantage when he lacks the opportunity to explode in the national team shirt, because Norway is not eligible to participate in the 2022 World Cup.
During his career, Messi has won the Golden Ball 7 times, in 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2015, 2019, 2021.
The person closest to Messi’s achievements is Ronaldo, who won 5 times. So it can be seen that breaking the unprecedented record of M10 is almost impossible.
