SCANDAL OVER THE BALLON D'OR 2023! The award will be BOYCOTTED because of Messi?! What's happening? Ballon d’Or: Messi has 93% chance of winning award Diario AS Reliability: 3.5 Inter Miami striker Lionel Messi has a 93% chance of taking home another Ballon d'Or award, according to Diario AS. The Argentinian is considered the favourite in the race for football's most prestigious individual award thanks to his World Cup triumph at the end of last year. We would like to remind you that in Qatar, Messi not only helped Albiceleste to capture the trophy, but was also named the best performer of the tournament. Therefore, ‘La Pulga’ will be handed his eighth Ballon d'Or in October, the source notes. The 36-year-old player is significantly ahead of his main competitor — Manchester City forward Erling Haaland. 2023 Ballon d’Or scandal By the way, the idea of Lionel Messi conquering his potential eighth Ballon d'Or does not suit everyone! For example, the former Chelsea and Scotland international midfielder and ESPN TV pundit Craig Burley believes that the award will have to be boycotted in case it gets taken by the Argentine, not by his main competitor: "If Erling Haaland doesn't win this, close the shop. Lionel Messi won the World Cup and it's a great achievement, but it's a four-week period. His general league form was not the best. PSG were terrible. Erling Haaland? Over 50 goals, a Premier League title, the FA Cup, and the Champions League. Erling Haaland should win this award. I know that a lot of people out there can't get off the Messi bandwagon but look at the bigger picture. There's going to be a lot of muppet journos voting for Messi. The big picture here is that Erling Haaland achieved everything over a long period of time. This award, like a few awards, drives me nuts but he's the one that deserves it but I think out there it will be full of sentimental claptrap - Messi won the World Cup, Messi's this and Messi's that, and they will just hand him another one. And if I was Erling Haaland, I would never go back to another Ballon d'Or in my life, same as Robert Lewandowski," told Burley. #football #soccer #transfernews
