It's been revealed who'll give the Ballon d'Or to Lionel Messi in a week

It is an open secret, Lionel Messi will win his eighth Ballon d'Or this Monday, October 30, as reported by Diario Sport a few days ago, it was even reported that Lionel Messi has already been informed that he will win over Erling Haaland.

Now, it has been revealed who is the player who will present the Ballon d'Or to Lionel Messi, and it is not who one might expect, since it is not an active player or a former winner of the Ballon d'Or. In fact, he's a person very close to Messi's environment.

Just a year ago, Luka Modric handed the Ballon d'Or to Lionel Messi, and this year it will not be Karim Benzema, but rather, it will be Lionel Scaloni, the coach with whom Lionel Messi won the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. Lionel Scaloni will be the one in charge of giving the Ballon d'Or to Lionel Messi, as various media have already confirmed.

Pep Guardiola commented who deserves the Ballon d'Or:

“I have always said that the Ballon d'Oto has to be in two sections, one for Messi and one more for the others. Haaland should win. We won the treble because he scored 52 shots, but, of course, Messi, his worst season is the best for many players. "They both deserve it."
