Athletistic / Football. Former Bayern and Germany footballer Lothar Matthäus spoke about winning the Ballon d’Or to Inter Miami and Argentine striker Lionel Messi. He received this award for the 8th time in his career.

“Throughout last season, the Netherlands were better than Messi. This victory for Lionel is not deserved. But this story shows that the World Cup matters more than any other tournament.

Former PSG footballer Roten has harshly criticized the decision to award Messi the Ballon d’Or.

In my opinion, Holland is the best footballer of the last 12 months. He won every title with Manchester City and broke goalscoring records. The choice of Messi is a farce, even if I am a fan of him,” Matthaus said as quoted by Sky Sports.
