Francesc Aguilar, an Argentinian journalist has recently leaked the news that Lionel Messi will emerge as the winner of the prestigious award. He also said that FIFA is set to ‘remind’ the French Football Association and L’Equipe, Ballon d’Or organizers, that they didn’t even nominate the Argentine for their award last year. The award ceremony is even being held in Paris.
The ceremony will be starting at 1:30 AM IST on 28th February. Karim Benzema enjoyed a good spell of football in 2022. However, approaching the coveted World Cup, he suffered injury and had to take a back seat. He’s been back with Real Madrid as the new year started, but that might not be enough to salvage his performance for the award.
