Lionel Messi holds the record for the number of Ballons d’Or won. He has seven, two more than Cristiano Ronaldo. And, this year, he is on track to conquer an 8^e. With Erling Haaland of Manchester City, he is the favorite to win this award.

“The Ballon d’Or is no longer important”, assures Messi

If in the past he was obsessed with winning this award. Today, this is no longer the case. At the end of the 2022/2023 season, which will have seen him win the World Cup, the French champion and sign more than 40 decisive gestures, he indicated that lifting this trophy once again would now be a simple bonus and that he doesn’t think about it day and night.

” The Golden Ball ? At this point in my career, if it happens, that’s fine, and if it doesn’t, nothing happens.”, he dropped in an interview with Titan Sports. Perhaps he was offended that he wasn’t even among the nominees last year.

“Do I care?” No, at this point in my life, it’s not important to me anymore, he continued. I have always said it is not the individual prices that matter to me, but the collective prices. The biggest prize right now is the World Cup. This is the biggest reward for me”. France Football will appreciate.
