Messi Says Lautaro Martínez Deserves to Win the Ballon d’Or More Than Anyone
Lionel Messi remains the king of the Ballon d’Or with a record-breaking eight wins, but the Argentine legend has admitted that another star from his country also deserved the famous golden ball.
With the 2025 Ballon d’Or ceremony set to take place in Paris on Monday, fans are buzzing about who will be crowned the best player in the world this year. Messi, however, shifted the spotlight to his teammate Lautaro Martínez. He praised him for a brilliant run of form in recent seasons.
According to Messi, Lautaro’s performances for Inter Milan and the Argentina national team have been nothing short of outstanding. He led Inter to glory in Serie A, delivered goals on the biggest stages, and even finished as the top scorer in the Copa America. For Messi, those achievements were enough to put his name on the Ballon d’Or list.
Despite that, Martínez has often been overlooked when the final votes are counted. In one of his best seasons, he only managed a seventh-place finish while other names like Kylian Mbappé and Erling Haaland dominated the headlines. Messi made it clear that his fellow Argentine “deserved the Ballon d’Or more than anyone else” for that campaign.
Ademola Lookman has praised Atlético Madrid following their 2–0 victory over Barcelona.
It can be noted that the match ended 2–0, with goals scored by Julián Álvarez and Alexander Sørloth.
Speaking in a recent interview, Lookman commended the team’s performance and unity “It was a good result. The performance of the team, especially not to concede here, shows the work everyone’s been doing and the togetherness.”
Young Arsenal player Max Dowman is making headlines after reaching a major milestone—becoming the youngest player to feature in the UEFA Champions League knockout stages.
The previous record was held by Lamine Yamal, who made his appearance at 16 years and 223 days. Dowman, however, has now broken that record at just 16 years and 97 days.
The youngster continues to show great promise, adding another impressive achievement to his early career.
Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher has shared his thoughts on Arsenal’s chances of winning the Premier League this season.
The club had been leading the title race but suffered two consecutive losses, shaking fans’ confidence and raising doubts about their consistency.
Carragher admitted that while Arsenal have been impressive overall, the recent losses were disappointing.
“It was a big result for Arsenal but it wasn’t a great performance. The real question is: if they play like that for the rest of the season, will they win the league? We’ll see.”
