For 15 years, apart from two times, Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo have won all the Golden Balls. The Argentinian and the Portuguese left European football in 2023 for the United States and Saudi Arabia. The new era was launched by Rodri on Monday evening, but in the future, Lamine Yamal should overshadow Kylian Mbappé according to Djibril Cissé.
Lionel Messi could well be the best player in the history of football. At least, if we rely on the trophies won by the Argentinian throughout his career and his 8 Ballon d'Or crowns. The legend of FC Barcelona is the player most awarded with this distinction which is the individual Holy Grail of football, ahead of Cristiano Ronaldo and his 5 Golden Balls.
“If everything goes well for him, he could possibly overtake Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi for the Golden Balls.”
Since the start of his career, Kylian Mbappé is announced as the successor to Lionel Messi and of Cristiano Ronaldo once their supremacy comes to an end. It is now done. For the first time in years, neither Cristiano Ronaldo in Lionel Messi did not appear in the 30 nominated for the Ballon d’or 2024. Rodri was voted the best player of last season ahead of Vinicius Jr, Jude Bellingham et Dani Carvajal. Kylian Mbappé found himself in 6th place and could well see the young Lamine Yamal (17 years old) overshadow him in the future according to Djibril Cisse.
“Lamine Yamal?” If everything goes well for him, he could possibly overtake Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi for the Golden Balls. He is 17 years old. He has at least 15 years of football left. He's already in the top 10. It's quite extraordinary. I can't wait to see what he's going to do in 2 or 3 years, whether he gains a little muscle mass and absorbs a little more shock and scores goals while winning trophies. This is the crux of the matter. This little one has an extraordinary future.” confided the ex-attacker of Liverpool on The chain The Team during the Ballon d'Or ceremony Monday evening.
“I hope to win a Ballon d’Or as quickly as possible, yes”
What do you think Lamine Yamal ? At the age of 17, the European champion with Spain was ranked 8th in the 2024 Ballon d'Or, becoming the youngest player in the history of this award to enter this top 10 since Kylian Mbappé in 2018 who was going to celebrate his 19th birthday at the time of the Ballon d'Or ceremony at which he came 4th. In comments reported by the journalist Fabrizio Romano on his account Xthe young star of FC Barcelona did not hide his desires.
