Ballon d'Or ceremony; how and where to watch LIVE in the US

The most anticipated moment for all fans in the world of football has arrived, this Monday, October 30, the 2023 Ballon d'Or award is finally awarded, that is, the award for the best player of the year. This time, the candidates to win the award are only two, Lionel Messi and Erling Haaland.

Pep Guardiola spoke about who should win the award: "I have great affection for Messi and Haaland. If Messi wins, it will be fair for the World Cup. If Haaland wins, it will be fair for the season he has had. They should give two awards this year! They both deserve to win it."

For his part, Michael Owen, England legend, commented: “The level that Leo has reached for so many years in a row is incredible. The eight Ballon d'Or thing explains everything. Needless to say more. And I respect him more for how, at 35 years old, he has managed to reach the maximum, which is winning the World Cup at a high level. It is incredible that Haaland, who scored more than 50 goals, scored the hat trick... he is not going to take it, but it will be because Messi is there, who deserves it for winning the World Cup. It's an incredible race. Congratulations to Leo.”
