Lionel Messi (36 years old) won the last edition of the Ballon d’Or. The Argentinian thus lifted his eighth trophy of this kind. A record. But the former PSG player decided to donate this Ballon d’Or to FC Barcelona.

Indeed, several Catalan media have indicated that the trophy was installed in the Barça museum with the 7 other Ballons d’Or. Even though Messi wasn’t playing with the Catalans when he was awarded the award, he decided to bring them all together in one place.
