Paris Saint Germain forward, Kylian Mbappe has disclosed that his former teammate Lionel Messi deserved to win this year’s Ballon d’Or award.
Messi won the award for a record-extendiing eight times on October 31.
The Argentina captain finished first in the voting, a staggering 150 votes ahead of first runner up Erling Haaland of Manchester City, while Mbappe came third.
Mbappe said:
“Messi had to win the Ballon d’Or; he won the World Cup; he’s one of the greatest in history, if not the greatest for me.
“Haaland had a great season, me too, but next to winning the World Cup, it doesn’t weigh much. Leo deserved it.”
