Lionel Messi won the Ballon d’Or for the eighth time in history. The Argentine was awarded thanks to the great World Cup he had with the Albiceleste team in Qatar 2022.
Cristiano Ronaldo, his biggest pursuer, was left with five awards and today it is practically impossible for the Portuguese footballer to achieve it.
One of the nominees for the Ballon d’Or was Lautaro Martínez, who finished in 20th position and after the gala he spoke about what Messi means to football.
Furthermore, he assured that if it had not been for CR7, Leo would have won almost double the number of awards in the history of the Ballon d’Or.
“Lionel had to share with Cristiano Ronaldo, otherwise he would have won 15 Ballon d’Ors,” commented the Inter Milan goalscorer.
Cristiano Ronaldo is arguably Messi’s greatest rival, even equaling him in individual awards for the great campaigns he had with Real Madrid.
