With 8 Ballons d’Or, Lionel Messi remains one of the best players of his generation, even in the history of Football.
However, this trophy today arouses many criticisms. Since Rodri’s 2024 Ballon d’Or victory ahead of Vinicius, some football fans have been questioning his credibility.
Despite these criticisms, the Ballon d’Or remains one of the most prestigious individual trophies. Only the best players on the planet can win it, leading Hakim Ziyech to claim that Lionel Messi is the best player in the world.
Messi is the only player to have won the Ballon d’Or eight times. For Ziyech, he is incomparable, even compared to Cristiano Ronaldo, holder of five Ballons d’Or.
“Messi has 8 Ballons d’Or, right? Is there a player who has 8, right? So who is better than Messi? » he said.
He believes that there is no longer any need for comparison. “Before, there were comparisons because Messi did not have titles with the selection.
Now he has everything”he added, referring to Argentina’s victory in the World Cup in 2022.
“Messi has 8 Ballons d’Or, it’s a shame to see anyone thinking of comparing him”
For Ziyech, Messi has become incomparable. “It’s a shame to see anyone thinking of comparing Messi to another player.
He has reached a level that is not comparable. Football was discovered by England, developed by Brazil, but Messi took control of it and made it more beautiful. We are lucky to have seen it. »
Hakim Ziyech, Moroccan international playing for Galatasaray, made history by helping Morocco shine at the 2022 World Cup.
Currently excluded from the national team by royal decision, the Atlas Lions winger also risks finding himself without a club due to tensions with Galatasaray.
