Cristiano Ronaldo commented on a post on Instagram suggesting that Lionel Messi did not deserve this 2023 Ballon d’Or.
As could be expected, it was indeed Lionel Messi who was crowned Ballon d’Or 2023, this Monday evening in Paris, during the ceremony organized at the Théâtre du Châtelet. The Argentinian, winner of the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, beat Erling Haaland and Kylian MbappĂ©.
The former Parisian thus won the eighth Ballon d’Or of his career, an absolute record. However, this coronation is debated. For AS, Spanish journalist Tomas Roncero contested this new consecration of Lionel Messi.
“Messi has eight Ballon d’Ors, he should have had five”
“What we knew happened. They gave yet another Ballon d’Or to Messi. He went to retire in Miami, even though he already looked like he was retired at PSG preparing for the World Cup. Messi has eight Ballon d’Ors, he should have had five”he commented, and added: “He has the Ballon d’Or of Iniesta or Xavi, that of Lewandowski who won 6 trophies in one season and that of Haaland who was the top scorer in Europe. »
