While Barcelona betrayed Messi, Real Madrid's incredible help to Lionel at The Best awards

There is no doubt that soccer is the most popular sport worldwide, and for the same reason, everything that is generated around the previously mentioned sport is also very popular or at least of social interest. Precisely a perfect example of this, are the prizes that are given to soccer players year after year, and the fans always advocate for their favorite players to take them away.

There has always been a rivalry between Lionel Messi and Real Madrid, for obvious reasons. The Argentine player is a legend of the Catalan team, and for this reason he has faced Real Madrid dozens of times, to such an extent that he has created a healthy rivalry. However now, Real Madrid could have inadvertently helped the Argentine world champion in Qatar 2022.

The long awaited day for football lovers finally arrived. After the shortlists for the prestigious The Best award organized by FIFA were known, this Monday they will be delivered to their respective winners. It will be in Paris, land of the main candidates to keep some of the statuettes, such as Kylian Mbappé for France and Lionel Messi, the star of PSG.

In the case of the number '10' of the Argentine National Team, according to specialists, almost when he falls out of maturity, he will be the one who takes it in his shortlist, thus displacing Robert Lewandowski, the person who awarded it to him for two consecutive years. La Pulga will receive Lionel Scaloni and Emiliano Martínez in the French capital and they will go to the ceremony together, following information from the different media.

Rumors about the supposed winners have been around for days and in cases like Real Madrid they surprised locals and strangers in the run-up to The Best gala. It is that the Spanish cast, taking into account the European media, made the decision not to send any of their candidates to the award.

This position indicates that the chances of the world champions with the selected albiceleste taking the prize are really very high, since if they were that way for those of Carlo Ancelotti they would attend so that their photos with the statuette travel the entire planet. In any case, we will have to wait until later to confirm it, however, it is very likely.

Real Madrid is Argentina's main competitor; since Courtois integrates the payroll together with Dibu Martínez; Karim Benzema with Lionel Messi and Ancelotti with Scaloni. If it happens, it would be the first time that both a manager and an Argentine goalkeeper have won it, since Leo won the award in 2019, when he was still playing for FC Barcelona.
