In 2023, the glorious night of the Ballon d'Or will once again descend on Paris, France, a romantic city that will witness the brightest stars in football around the world. And when everyone's eyes are on the 36-year-old Argentine king Messi, they can't help but be shocked by his brilliance, because this is the moment when he won the Ballon d'Or for the eighth time.
Lionel Messi, the name of the football superstar, has become a legend, and his footprints are like a shooting star, streaked through the long history of football. From his first steps on the turf of Barcelona to the time he has now become a legend through the ages, Messi's talent and diligence are the bible of football and the fundamental reason why he has won so many Ballon d'Or awards.
Throughout the past few years, Messi has worked hard for his dream, saying goodbye to his ten-year partner Barcelona and joining the cutting-edge giants Manchester City. The transfer sparked a lot of speculation and discussion, but Messi proved his worth to the doubters with his excellent performance. His debut season at Manchester City helped the team to a treble, an honour that made him one of the few players in football history to hold the title. The Ballon d'Or is his highest award on a personal level, and it is the absolute pinnacle of his career.
However, the Ballon d'Or ceremony also saw great performances from other players. Squeezing behind Messi, in second place is Erling Haaland, who has scored countless wonderful goals for Manchester City. The young hunter from Norway has shown amazing goal awareness and anticipation, and he has contributed immensely to Manchester City's treble glory. Young, tall and flexible, he became an indispensable presence in City's attacking line, and under his leadership, City conquered the gates of one city after another.
Standing in third place in the rankings is the leader of the French team, Kylian Mbappe. With his speed and dexterity, Mbappe led France all the way to the World Cup final. Although France eventually suffered an upset defeat in extra-time, Mbappe's technical and leadership skills have made him a "star of the future". His leap has already captivated the football world.
Manchester City's leader, Kevin De Bruyne, is fourth, and he is the central figure in the team and has been an excellent performer. Whether it's organising attacks or creating threats, De Bruyne has always been able to catch the eye with his skillful skills and precise passing. His only goal in the Champions League final was even more impressive, and City's attack was inseparable from his precise command.
Closing on the top of the list is Manchester City's Rodri. His impressive performance in the Champions League final was unforgettable, and his crucial goal ignited the team's hopes, only to be denied the title at the end of the race. However, his hard work and dedication are equally commendable, and he has proven his worth with practical actions.
The 36-year-old Messi is old but still shining with his own light. He is the embodiment of an icon and legend in the history of football, and his brilliance and leadership have become the "Ballon d'Or". These eight Ballon d'Or awards are a testament to his love for football and his relentless pursuit of himself. In the face of many outstanding competitors, his smile is still confident and warm, as if he is the only one in the world who deserves this trophy.
After the Ballon d'Or ceremony, the bright stars gradually dissipated in the night sky, but Messi's brilliant footprints were forever engraved in the annals of football history. His splendor continues, shining like the sun, and shining forever. Time flies, but Messi's light will never disappear until the day when a new wave is set off in football.
