Lionel Messi spoke after winning his eighth Ballon d'Or, in an interview with LEquipe, he mentioned: "Although before I said that it was never a priority for me to win a Ballon d'Or, much less now after having achieved everything in my career and being at another time in my life. I think this is going to be my last Ballon d'Or and I am happy to have achieved everything I achieved and to be the player who has eight Ballon d'Ors," said Leo, who feels that this was his last trophy".

"And along those lines, he dared to say who will be the favorite players to win the Ballon d'Or in the future: "I think that several players have been seen for years and that there could be a very nice dispute over the next few years. , like the case of (Erling) Haaland, (Kylian) Mbappé, Vinicius... There are many young people who are going to put up a nice battle for the next Ballon d'Or awards," Messi explained.

Finally Lionel Messi stated: "(Lamine) Yamal, now that he is very young and is already playing for Barcelona and being a protagonist and very important, he is probably fighting for someone too. And players who are going to appear, because there are always good players. I think that now a very nice stage is coming to enjoy from the outside".

“Obviously, I could return to Barcelona and I could live there. It is the club that saw me grow, that gave me everything and I gave it everything. It's the club I love. And try to give everything for the club. I always did. It's not something to think about today. I don't know if I have a lot or a little left to play, but I want to enjoy it. I don't want to go further. It could easily happen”
