The legendary Argentine striker believes now is the time for the younger generation.
Lionel Messi, who won the 2023 Ballon d’Or award, believes that the next winners of the trophy will definitely be young footballers.
Receiving his eighth trophy, the Argentine turned to finalists Erling Haaland and Kylian Mbappe, who also claimed the prize. Among them Messi predicts the battle for the next Ballon d’Or.
“One day Haaland and Mbappe will win the Ballon d’Or. Erling deserves it too: he won the Premier League, the Champions League, as the top scorer everywhere. Now he can go to this award. I’m sure that next year he will win.” – quotes Argentinian Fabrizio Romano.
