Lionel Messi, as an individual player, has claimed the eighth Ballon d’Or title after leading Argentina to a successful World Cup title in Qatar last year. With incredible statistics, Messi has solidified his place as the best player ever. He has scored 821 goals in 1041 games, won 43 championships for club and country, and won an eighth Ballon d’Or trophy
The Argentine who now has three Ballon d’Or titles more than any other player in football history could unequivocally be regarded as the greatest footballer of all time. It is time that FIFA and the Football Clubs suspend Messi from all cups and awards to pave the way for the upcoming players. Messi is simply the Soccer Lord!
Nobody else has won more than five Ballon d’Or. Cristiano Ronaldo has five, and Michel Platini, Johan Cruyff and Marco van Basten each won it three times.
Messi had a superb last season, where he played 39 games in Ligue 1 and the Champions League for Paris Saint-Germain. Scoring 20 and assisting 20 in those games as PSG romped their way to another league title. Don’t also forget that Messi once scored 50 goals in Laliga, this record is still not broken
Messi’s performance in Qatar 2022 during the FIFA World Cup will live on forever in the annals of the sport. Argentina emerged victorious in a nail-biting penalty shootout to win the world championship. Argentina is in excellent condition going into 2023 and is currently on a high.
Messi also honoured Diego Maradona, who passed away in 1986 and assisted Argentina in winning the World Cup.
Messi declared, “I share this title and this trophy with you and our Argentina comrades.”
