Messi won the first football award for the 7th time in his career, won a blockbuster award, and ended successfully
Towards the end of 2023, Messi was once again named this year's "Footballer" by "Goal", which is also the seventh time he has been named "Footballer". The "Goal Journey" officially announced 7 candidates, namely: Messi, Haaland, Mbappe, De Bruyne, Bellingham, Kane, Salah. Although these seven football stars are all among the best in the world, Messi still beat many competitors to become the "best" of the season.
The official comment on Messi is this: "Messi led Argentina to a trophy in Qatar at the end of the year. He returned to Grand Paris at the beginning of 2023 and led the team to the French league crown. Messi scored 21 goals and provided 20 assists in his last season in Paris. "This summer, Messi signed with the Miami club on a two-year contract. He scored 14 goals in 11 appearances as he helped Liverpool win their first league title. For Messi, his 2023 is perfect and there are no regrets.
The ranking also saw Mbappe drop out of third place in the league and, surprisingly, he has been underperforming this year. And Messi, although he transferred from the big five leagues to the NBA, he still got the MVP this season, the seventh honor of his career, and the first in his career.
