Head coach of Manchester City Jose Guardiola named the main contenders for the Ballon d’Or this season.
The Ballon d’Or ceremony will take place on October 30.
“I have always said that the Ballon d’Or should be awarded as follows: one for Lionel Messi, the second for everyone else. Erling Haaland must win. We won the treble this year because he scored 52 goals this season. But of course, if we talk about Messi, his worst season in terms of performance will be the best for all other players. They both deserve the Ballon d’Or.
Selfishly speaking, I want Haaland to win because he helped us achieve everything we achieved last season. “I would be happy with it, but I won’t say it would be unfair for Messi to win the award,” Guardiola told the Manchester Evening News.
Earlier, information appeared in the media that Messi had already been informed that he would win the Ballon d’Or for the eighth time in his career.
