Will he make it eight?
Using information from betting site Sky Bet, soccer content creator barlebofc today gave Lionel Messi an 83.3% chance of winning the 2023 Ballon d’Or.
Messi has been called a soccer god and has swept the Ballon d’Or, which is awarded to the best player in the world. He’s already won the honor seven times and is on pace for an eighth.
Messi is the number one favorite to win the 2023 Ballon d’Or because he won the World Cup.
Messi has tasted victory in every major tournament of his career, but he hasn’t had much luck on the World Cup stage. In the 2014 final, he was swept aside by Germany and hung his head in shame.
Messi has finally gotten his act together. The Argentine added a World Cup trophy to his trophy collection when he beat France to win the 2022 tournament in Qatar.
With Messi’s coronation as World Cup champion, there’s a strong sense that the Ballon d’Or award for the world’s best player is a foregone conclusion.
However, Messi has made it clear that he no longer wants to win the Ballon d’Or.
“I lifted the most important World Cup trophy of my career. The Ballon d’Or is a great achievement. But the most important thing is to win with the team,” he said.
“If you win the Ballon d’Or, it’s great. But if I don’t win it, it’s okay. I’ve achieved my career goal,” he said.
Messi is not the only player who wants the Ballon d’Or. Manchester City goalkeeper Elling Holland.
Holland took the English Premier League (EPL) by storm last season with bomber performances in a City uniform.
Some have suggested that Holland might need an adjustment period, but they’ve been proven wrong.
Holland put on a show, scoring 36 goals and becoming the EPL’s top scorer. 토토사이트
The team followed suit. City won the EPL and FA Cup titles, as well as the UEFA Champions League (UCL) trophy.
Holland played a huge role in City’s treble, winning the EPL Golden Boot and becoming the number one favorite to win the Ballon d’Or, but he’s not going to be able to keep up with Messi.
