It has now been a tradition for several decades. The football world gathers at the Théâtre du Châtelet in Paris for the legendary Ballon d’Or ceremony. During this evening, other distinctions are also in the spotlight such as the Gerd Müller trophy, rewarding the top scorer of the past season. And for the 2023 edition, it is the Norwegian striker of Manchester City, Erling Haaland who was in the spotlight.
Author of a flamboyant campaign with 56 goals in 57 matches in all competitions, the Norwegian Cyborg played a leading role in the Cityzens’ quadruple: Premier League, FA Cup, Champions League and European Super Cup. He therefore beats the other competitors Robert Lewandowski, Harry Kane, Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappé who hoped to overtake him.
