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.
Nigerian footballer Victor Osimhen spoke about his childhood days and the difficult experiences he faced growing up.
He revealed that his mother was the breadwinner of the family and that her death deeply affected them.
“My mom was the breadwinner of the family, but she and my dad never had issues because of it.”
He shared that when his mother passed away, they not only missed her emotionally but also struggled financially without her support.
Fans related to his story and applauded how he has now risen to greatness.
It has been revealed that Ruben Amorim’s possible next step could be taking over as Benfica’s manager, replacing José Mourinho at S.L. Benfica.
It can be recalled that the manager was released from Manchester United F.C. in January and has since been seeking his next step.
He has now emerged as the top candidate to become Benfica’s new manager.
Rio Ferdinand has reacted to talks surrounding Xabi Alonso and the managerial position at Real Madrid.
It was reported that Xabi Alonso had signed a contract with the club to become their manager.
Ferdinand then shared his thoughts on the move “I’m genuinely surprised he’s taken that position. I’m not suggesting he’s the wrong choice.
“The reason I’m taken aback by his decision is that I thought he would have been patient enough to see how the Arne Slot situation at Liverpool would unfold.”
He explained that Alonso could have possibly become Liverpool manager with enough time and also spoke about Alonso’s love for the club.
