Brazil legend, Ronaldo Nazario, has named Argentina captain Lionel Messi as the player that should win the 2023 Ballon d’Or award. Ronaldo believes Messi deserves the Ballon d’Or award for his emphatic 2022 FIFA World Cup triumph.
The former Real Madrid star said (via Albiceleste Talk):
“Messi deserves to win the Ballon d’Or.
“I think he will be crowned. He won the World Cup, which is a very big tournament.”
Lionel, 35, who is a seven-time Ballon d’Or winner and a French Ligue 1 champion with Paris Saint-Germain, was in outstanding form at the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar, scoring seven goals and dishing out three assists during the competition.
Fans anticipate that Messi will compete with Manchester City’s Erling Haaland for the award.
