Former Chelsea defender Jason Cundy maintains that Lionel Messi winning the Ballon d’Or in 2023 would be a scandal.
Erling Haaland of Manchester City, in Cundy’s opinion, ought to be declared the undisputed champion of this year’s Ballon d’Or.
Later this month, the 2023 Ballon d’Or winner will be revealed.
Messi, Haaland, and Kylian Mbappe of Paris Saint-Germain are the three front-runners for the renowned individual prize.
Cundy stated on talkSPORT that it would be “a disgrace” if Haaland didn’t win the Ballon d’Or.
Messi will get it because he won the World Cup, which I find to be a shame.
Messi and Haaland each had a fantastic 2022–23 campaign.
Before leaving the club in the summer, the Inter Miami forward won the French Ligue 1 title with PSG as well as the FIFA World Cup in Qatar. Meanwhile, Haaland’s Manchester City team won the Premier League, FA Cup, and Champions League.
