Messi Celebrates Argentina Teammates as Rodri Wins Ballon d’Or
Lionel Messi, the Inter Miami forward, recently shared his heartfelt congratulations to all the nominees and winners at the 2024 Ballon d’Or awards.
Although Messi did not attend the ceremony, he was part of the conversation, having been shortlisted among the top 30 players this year.
One of the standout moments of the evening was the recognition of Messi’s Argentina teammates.
Emiliano Martinez received the prestigious Yachine Award for the second consecutive year, solidifying his status as one of the world’s best goalkeepers.
Martinez’s contributions during Argentina’s successful campaign at the FIFA World Cup have made him a vital part of the team, and this award reflects his hard work and dedication on the field.
In a surprising twist, Manchester City’s Rodri took home the title of the best player in the world, edging out Real Madrid’s Vinicius Junior.
Rodri’s exceptional performances in both the Premier League and the UEFA Champions League played a significant role in his recognition.
His contributions helped Manchester City secure the treble last season, marking a historic achievement for the club.
On his Instagram account, Messi expressed his excitement, saying, “Congratulations to all the winners and nominees for the Ballon d’Or 2024.
Especially to Dibu, what a great honour, another award for the best goalkeeper in the world. And to Lautaro, Scaloni, and Garnacho.”
Despite not being physically present, Messi remains the record holder for the most Ballon d’Or awards, with an impressive total of eight.
His legacy continues to inspire countless players around the world, and he has set a high standard for excellence in football.
Former English footballer, Jamie Redknapp, makes bold suggestion regarding Mohamed Salah to leave the club, Liverpool.
The suggestion came after Liverpool manager Arne Slot criticized the player — a move Redknapp called out following Salah’s benching in the last match.
The former player shared “I don’t necessarily think in January. I just think we have got to let this settle. But I don’t foresee that he will see out the two years of his contract. I think it might be more in the summer.”
Arsenal football manager Mikel Arteta speaks on the team’s defeat against Aston Villa, 2–1, in their match on Saturday.
It can be recalled that Aston Villa scored a goal in the first half, but Arsenal scored back in the second half. After equalizing, Aston Villa scored another goal.
“In the first half we had moments, obviously had the best chance after a foul on Riccy [Calafiori] that Watkins goes through,” Arteta said.
“In the second half we started really well. Scored a goal and we were really dominant.”
Former Liverpool player, Jamie Carragher, speaks on Arsenal’s next match and claims that their game against Aston Villa will be challenging and described it as a test for the team to see how well they perform.
“Arsenal have looked the best team in the league by a long way so far this season, but Man City are still only five points behind.
There’s a long way to go and Arsenal will need to keep their heads! It could be tested tomorrow against Aston Villa!!”
