Lionel Messi, the best of all! The 35-year-old superstar and one of the top footballers in the history of the sport, won his award top of 2022!
The reason, obvious, since she took her national team by the hand Argentinian and took her to the top of the world by winning the World Cup held in Qatar in November and December.
The third trophy in Argentina’s history and first since 1986, with Messi scoring seven goals and providing three assists at the World Cup, being the absolute star player for the Albiceleste.
His incredible performances at the World Cup and the leadership skills he displayed, winning the only trophy missing from his collection, have put him in the same… straight line as Diego Maradonawhile others believe that he has officially surpassed him!
This is the 77th individual award received by Lionel Messi in his career, who said, among other things: “It’s an honor to be here again, with Benzema and Kylian. It is my pleasure to return to this gala and win this award. Today we collect these awards on behalf of all Argentines. It’s a recognition for the whole team for what we’ve done. This 2022 was crazy. I managed to achieve my dream after so much effort. It’s the most beautiful thing that happened in my career.”
