It was an open secret, Lionel Messi won the Ballon d'Or today in France. Although it was a competition between Erling Haaland and Lionel Messi, it was reported a couple of weeks ago that the Argentine won the award and he had already known it for days.

Lionel Messi received the Ballon d'Or, and Didier Drogba, Chelsea legend, was in charge of presenting the award to the Argentine, who was sitting next to Julian Alvarez and Lautaro Martinez during the ceremony. Furthermore, David Beckham was sitting behind Lionel.

Kylian Mbappé was present among the competitors who could win the Ballon d'Or, therefore, when Lionel won, the cameras quickly pointed to the French forward, and this was his reaction, and also, Erling Haaland

 

When does Lionel Messi play again?

Inter Miami failed to qualify for the Major League Soccer playoffs, therefore, they will not have any official matches for another four months. However, for this reason David Beckham has already organized a series of friendly matches in Asia, with Lionel included. The first match, in principle, will be in China this Sunday, November 5, against Quingdao Jonoon.
