Griezmann unleashes on Messi

Asked about the 2023 Ballon d’Or, which will likely be awarded to Lionel Messi on October 30, Antoine Griezmann congratulates his Argentinian “friend”.

Passed by FC Barcelona from 2019 to 2021 (for only one King’s Cup won), Antoine Griezmann was rejected by the executives of the Catalan locker room, starting with his attacking friend and superstar of the Blaugrana, a certain Lionel Messi. “Grizi” is obviously not resentful, he congratulates the Argentine number 10 on his upcoming 8th Ballon d’Or, Monday September 30 in Paris.

The French international from Atlético de Madrid spoke about the very probable individual coronation of Messi, on his YouTube channel “Grizi Huddle” (which talks about NFL news): “ I’m not surprised at all (by the indiscretions confirming Messi’s coronation, editor’s note). I told you, it’s a World Cup year. I am happy for Messi. It’s deserved, my friend! » This will please admirers of the man who now plays at Inter Miami.

Note, however, that the 2018 world champion and 2022 world vice-champion did not mention Kylian Mbappé on this question of the Ballon d’Or. His Blues friend will probably finish 3rd in this edition of the France Football Ballon d’Or behind Leo Messi and Erling Haaland, author of 52 goals for Manchester City, author of a Premier League-FA Cup-Champions League treble.
