Leo Messi won his 8th Ballon d’Or in Paris. The 36-year-old Argentinian was thus rewarded for leading Argentina to victory at the last World Cup in Qatar at the end of 2022. La Pulga, who moved from PSG to Miami this summer, beat Erling Haaland and Kylian Mbappé.
The Argentinian, voted best player of the World Cup, certainly owes his 8th trophy to his coronation in the Middle East. Author of 2 goals in the final, he finished 2nd top scorer in the competition (7 goals), behind Mbappé. But at club level with PSG, the Argentinian was knocked out in the 8th round of the Champions League by Bayern.
Despite this mishap, Messi therefore beat Haaland, author of an extraordinary season. One of the main architects of the treble with Manchester City (Premier League, CL and FA Cup) piled up no less than 56 goals and 9 assists, finished top scorer in the Champions League (12 goals in 11 matches) and of the English championship (36 goals in 36 matches). But that was not enough in the eyes of the international jury assembled by France Football.
Among the other winners, the Kopa trophy was awarded to Jude Bellingham, now a Real player after a transfer from Borussia Dortmund.
