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.
Head coach of Atletico Madrid, Diego Simeone, speaks on team defense and called out a player who needs to toughen up. He shared that Ademola Lookman needs to work on defense.
“Ademola Lookman arrived with great enthusiasm and desire to keep growing. We need him to add defensive work to what he already gives us offensively, because he has that ability,” he then added.
“He’s shown it with the Nigeria national team, and we need him in that role.”
Former football legend Paul Merson states that Mohammad Salah is the greatest winger of all time.
While also praising Bukayo Saka for being the winger in form right now.
When asked in a recent interview, he stated “For the best right now, it’s probably [Bukayo] Saka for his all-around game. I will go Salah, because the numbers he’s put up are ridiculous.”
Former player Paul Merson shares his predictions on this weekend’s Premier League games.
He shared Leeds United vs Manchester City – Prediction: Leeds 1-1 Manchester City.
Manchester United vs Crystal Palace – Prediction: Manchester United 3-0 Crystal Palace.
Arsenal vs Chelsea – Prediction: Arsenal 1-0 Chelsea.
