Lionel Messi, winner of the Ballon d’Or for the eighth time in 2023, will know his successor this Monday evening. In Paris, at the Châtelet theater, the prestigious individual trophy, but also many others, will be awarded. And some are impatient. The game of traditional leaks has begun except that in recent hours, caution is required in the face of these leaks. Especially since those circulating on social networks and getting people talking give two different winners. On one side Rodri, on the other Vinicius.
Only one person aware before this Monday!
Except that this year, no leak can really be taken seriously. Indeed, France Football decided not to inform anyone before the ceremony. No interview carried out with a winner beforehand, and no issue published before November 9! In L’Equipe a few days ago, the producer of the show revealed that only the editor-in-chief of France Football Vincent Garcia was aware of the result, and that he will be the second, shortly before the ceremony. “This year, anyone who says they know is a liar. Only two people in the world will be aware before the envelopes are opened by the deliverers: me, in the last hours for production reasons, and Vincent Garcia,” reveals Marc Las, producer of the show.
