Messi named Haaland, Mbappe and Vinicius as contenders for the Ballon d’Or
Inter Miami’s Argentine striker Lionel Messi has named his future Ballon d’Or contenders. His words are quoted by GFFN.
“In the coming years there may be a fierce battle for it among players such as [Эрлинг] Holland, [Килиан] Mbappe and Vinicius [Жуниор]”, said Messi. The forward also singled out 16-year-old Barcelona midfielder Lamin Yamal, noting that he has already become an important player for the club.
On October 31, Messi spoke about his rivalry with Ronaldo. “We were fueled by mutual rivalry because we are both great competitors and always wanted to win. It was a very enjoyable period for both of us and for the people who love football,” he said.
On October 30, the Argentine won the Ballon d’Or for the eighth time in his career. He previously won the trophy in 2009, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2016, 2019 and 2021.
