Messi wins record eighth Ballon d’Or after World Cup glory with Argentina
Inter Miami's and Argentina's national team player Lionel Messi receives the 2023 Ballon d'Or trophy during the 67th Ballon d'Or (Golden Ball) award ceremony at Theatre du Chatelet in Paris, France, Monday, Oct. 30, 2023.
LIONEL MESSI was crowned Ballon d’Or winner for a record eighth time on Monday after leading Argentina to World Cup glory.
The 36-year-old scored twice in the final as Argentina saw off France to win the tournament for the first time in his illustrious career.
Messi has since moved to Inter Miami having left Paris St Germain at the end of last season — but it was his imperious form for his country in Qatar which saw him crowned Ballon d’Or winner by France Football once again.
