The GOAT has been celebrating another Ballon d’Or win
Lionel Messi paid tribute to Barcelona after picking up a record-breaking eighth Ballon d’Or on Monday in a ceremony in Paris.
The GOAT beat off competition from Erling Haaland and Kylian Mbappe to be named the best player in the world yet again after last year’s World Cup triumph.
Messi then gave a generous acceptance speech and made sure to mention his former club when talking about his incredible career.
“I was lucky to be in the best team in the world, the best club. The best team in history. That made it easier to win individual titles,” he said.
“I said the other day that Argentina was close to that team and they misunderstood me. Nobody doubts that Barça was the best in history and it will be almost impossible to see something similar.”
