Lionel Messi's words on whether he'll win his eighth Ballon d'Or at Inter Miami or not

Inter Miami and Lionel Messi is in the Leagues Cup final, and he will play against Nashville SC. Before the game, Lionel Andres Messi answered all kinds of questions at a press conference, before journalists from the United States. One of the most striking issues was that of the Ballon d'Or.

What did Messi say about winning the Ballon d'Or? "I never gave importance to the individual prize, I always prefer the collective. If it arrives well, if it doesn't arrive, nothing happens, I was lucky to already achieve all my goals. After having won the World Cup, much less am I thinking about that award."

What else did he say? "I feel very happy, it is a place that I chose to come to, and it was a decision that I made with time, it was not from one day to the next. That's why everything is easier, I am where I want to be. My departure to PSG was not something what I wanted, that was from one day to the next. Here I feel comfortable."

What did Messi say about the Leagues Cup final?

Lionel Messi: "It would be incredible for me and for the club, and for the club's fans. We continue to grow, we are going to be a referee team and for that we have to win titles. It would be impressive, it is very nice how the people of Inter Miami come to encourage us, it's a young club, and being able to get our first trophy would be a joy for everyone".
