And a fourth for Lionel Messi? The Argentine prodigy from Barcelona is the favorite to receive the Ballon d’Or this evening, which will be awarded in Zurich. If Messi wins, it would mark his fourth Ballon d’Or, and notably, he would achieve this feat four times in a row.
The other two finalists are Cristiano Ronaldo from Real Madrid and Andres Iniesta from Barcelona. The outcome seems predetermined for many, but Zinedine Zidane voted for Ronaldo and shared his choice with the team. He jokingly remarked, “Because he plays in Madrid, first of all!”
