And what about the fourth Ballon d’Or? Lionel Messi is poised to claim the prestigious award tonight in Zurich, marking an incredible fourth win for the Argentine sensation from Barcelona, and notably, his fourth consecutive title.
Competing against him for the honor are the other two finalists, Cristiano Ronaldo from Real Madrid and Andres Iniesta from Barcelona. The outcome of the competition appears almost predetermined.
Expressing his conviction, Basile Boli, in a recent ATS blog post, shared, “I’ll be in Zurich to witness the Ballon d’Or ceremony. Lionel Messi is simply unstoppable! Honestly, I can’t envision anyone else deserving it more than him. He’s not just a player; he’s an extraterrestrial! Stronger than Zidane, stronger than Maradona! A true genius! The entire Barcelona team has been rallying around him for years; it’s unparalleled! He’s exceptional. While dreaming of Messi at PSG or OM is enticing, the reality is he will return to Argentina, rightfully earning a well-deserved rest! I assure you, on Monday, I’ll catch up with him for ATS, and I’ll promptly share my photos on the blog!”
