Former Chilean national team footballer Mauricio Pinilla has criticized the decision to award the Ballon d’Or to Argentine Inter Miami striker Lionel. Messi .
On Monday, Messi, 36, received the Ballon d’Or for the eighth time in his career. At the end of 2022, the striker won the World Cup in Qatar as part of the Argentina national team.
“If you win the Ballon d’Or playing in MLS, that means we’ve all gone crazy or MLS has become the leading force in world sports. The World Cup determined everything,” Pinilla said, as quoted by ESPN.
Messi won the Ballon d’Or for a record eighth time in his career.
