REALLY!!! Messi Gives Away Controversial Eighth Ballon d’Or Trophy
Football icon, Lionel Messi, has given away his latest Ballon d’Or trophy only months after he won it in a controversial circumstance ahead of Erling Haaland and Kylian Mbappe.
Naijaloaded recalls that last October, Messi was crowned the best player in the world for a record eighth time, after he led Argentina to glory at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
The decision to give the Inter Miami forward the award, however, left some fans and pundits furious, as they felt Manchester City’s Haaland was more deserving.
However, four months on from the award win, Messi has given away his latest individual prize.
According to Spanish journalist, Miquel Blazquez, Messi has donated his Ballon d’Or trophy to Barcelona despite not winning it with his old club.
This will allow Barca to place their all-time-great former player’s eighth award alongside the other seven that are in their club museum.
