Gala week. This Monday in Paris, at the Théâtre du Châtelet, the various winners received their prizes during the Ballon d’Or ceremony. If Lionel Messi received the prestigious trophy for the eighth time, Jude Bellingham for his part received the Kopa Trophy, which rewards the best young player of the season.
It is the former Ballon d’Or winners who choose the lucky winner. However, only one former Ballon d’Or did not cast his vote this year. This is the Portuguese Cristiano Ronaldo. Like last season, the five-time Ballon d’Or snubbed the votes.
The striker of the Saudi club Al-Nassr did not respond to requests from France Football. The ex-Real Madrid player was visibly busy or, perhaps, upset with the French editorial team who did not name him or who once again elected Lionel Messi. To be continued…
Jude Bellingham wins the 2023 Kopa Trophy. With a total of 90 points, the Real Madrid midfielder is well ahead of his pursuers who are Pedri (33 points) and Eduardo Camavinga (29 points).
This season, the England international will have another objective: the 2024 Ballon d’Or. The new number 5 of the White House is having a sparkling start to the season and has already established itself as one of the main contenders.
