Lionel Messi has extended his own record to become an eight-time Ballon d’Or winner and end the Cristiano Ronaldo debate once and for all.
Now playing for Inter Miami, the 36-year-old was voted the winner ahead of Manchester City’s Erling Haaland based solely on the 2022/23 season. Messi helped PSG to Ligue 1 glory as well as Argentina to World Cup gold in Qatar.
