Commentator Mikhail Mossakovsky on he said he didn’t expect any recognition from the Argentine striker Lionel Messi best player of 2023 according to the International Football Federation (FIFA).
The Best FIFA Football Awards ceremony took place on Monday in London; Messi, 36, was not present at the event. Messi was recognized as the best footballer of the year by FIFA for the third time in history (since 2016) and for the second year in a row.
“We didn’t expect such a choice, we didn’t expect Messi to become the best player. In the case of the Ballon d’Or, this can be explained: the period for which the award was awarded included the World Cup.
Here, the period for which the award is given to the best FIFA football player began the day after the end of the World Cup. It turns out that Messi received an award for winning the French Championship and the League Cup with Inter Miami,” Mossakovsky said on the air of the show “Everyone for the match!” .
In 2023, Messi won the French championship with PSG and won the League Cup with Inter Miami. Earlier, Messi won the Ballon d’Or for the eighth time in his career.
