Some dream of winning one, he has… seven. Lionel Messi has just won his seventh Ballon d’Or. The Argentine further improves his record in this distinction. The 34-year-old was bound to be in heaven.
“ It’s amazing to be there again. I thought these would be my last years two years ago. Here I am again in front of you. People started to ask me about my retirement. To tell the truth, I am here in Paris, very happy to be there. I want to fight and achieve my goals. I don’t know how many years I have left, but I want to stay there for a long time in football ”.
La Pulga therefore continues to write one of the most beautiful pages in football history. This Ballon d’Or is also in his bag thanks to his victory in the Copa America. A title that has escaped him several times.
However, the 2021 Ballon d’Or does not forget to thank his teammates for this distinction which he did not necessarily expect. “ I think it’s a mixture of many things, it’s the 7th Ballon d’Or … it was unattainable for me in my head. I hadn’t even thought of the 6th … I really want to start this new stage with PSG and accomplish new goals, ”concluded La Pulga.
