The results of the Ballon d’Or 2023 may surprise you according to Sky Sports.
The race for the 2023 Ballon d’Or is all but over, with some of the world’s best footballers having spent the last 11 months battling it out to succeed 2022 winner Karim Benzema by lifting the Holy Grail in Paris on October 30.
With the World Cup taking place in the middle of the 2022-23 campaign, this Ballon d’Or battle promised to be unique, meaning it could be just a distant memory by the time the votes take place. in August. There is no doubt, however, that having played a prominent role in Qatar has increased some players’ chances of competing for the Ballon d’Or.
Sky Sports have revealed their odds for the 2023 Ballon d’Or winner:

According Sky Sports, it is even a determining factor. In its assessment, the leading English media places Leo Messi so high that the vote seems outrageous. Where a Kylian Mbappé peaks at a miserable 1 percent, Leo Messi prances to 75% of the vote.
Erling Haaland, who won a historic treble with Manchester City, would have just 19% of the votes to his name. This should be controversial if the fast is confirmed in these proportions…
