The worst news that Lionel Messi gives to his haters and to the fans of Cristiano Ronaldo

The frustrated return of Lionel Messi to Barcelona and his subsequent announcement that he would play for Inter Miami shocked all the fans in the world of soccer. The top winner of the Ballon d'Or came from a season in which he had won the World Cup in Qatar 2022 as the best player of the competition and the FIFA The Best award, so it gave the feeling that he still had a lot to give at the highest level in Europe.

Now, that decision to continue his career in MLS sparked comparisons with Cristiano Ronaldo, who at Messi's age was playing for Juventus. For this reason, the detractors of the Flea tried to brand him as retired for going to the United States league, but now Leo gives them a new lesson in greatness.

While enjoying his vacation in Rosario, Messi received three new nominations. On this occasion he went to the ESPYS awards and will compete in the categories of best male athlete, best champion team (with the Argentine National Team) and best male soccer player. Thus, Lionel could add three new trophies to his record, although he always stated that he gives more importance to collective awards.

Messi is the favorite to win the Ballon d'Or

Despite the fact that the ESPYS are some prestigious awards, the real prize that has fans of the '10' in suspense is the Ballon d'Or. Although Erling Haaland completed a season with monstrous numbers, polls put Messi as the favorite to win what would be his eighth trophy.
