Lionel Messi is the best player in the world and for many the greatest of all time. That is what led him to be at the top of world sport for almost two decades. It's not for nothing that at 36 years old he is nominated to win his eighth Ballon d'Or and everything indicates that the Argentine would win that award. In fact, the international press already claims that this is the case and they even said that it is already known who will present him with the award.

 

It is clear that if Messi reaches eight awards it will be very difficult for another player to achieve him in the history of football. Until now, no one has been dominating this great sport for as long as he has. Although there is still the award ceremony that will be next Monday the 30th, the concrete thing is that it seems that he will be able to surpass Kylian Mbappé and Erling Haaland, two of the young players who stand out the most worldwide.

On the one hand, Messi appears in this competition, winning the 2022 Qatar World Cup as the figure of the Argentine National Team. On the other hand, there is the Frenchman who was the top scorer in that same competition but who did not win any of the most important titles played in the season. And finally there is the new thing that he did not even play in the World Cup but he won absolutely everything important at the club level with Manchester City.

 

The figure who would give the Ballon d'Or to Messi

According to what the French newspaper L'Equipe reported, if Lionel Messi indeed manages to win the eighth Ballon d'Or, France Football's idea is that the best in the world will be given the award by a certain Lionel Scaloni. Yes, the world champion coach would give him the most important individual trophy. Without a doubt it would be a great prize for the two Argentines, something they deserve for what they have done in recent times.
