It could be another special year for Messi with an award that he has dominated since 2009, as he has lifted it in these years: 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2015, 2019 and 2021.
And all of them, without any major contestation, except for 2021, in which he shared merits with Robert Lewandowski. An eighth Ballon d’Or that would be far ahead of Cristiano Ronaldo’s five (2008, 2013, 2014, 2016 and 2017). Behind are the three of Michel Platini, Marco van Basten and Johan Cruyff. 45 years between Sir Stanley Matthews winning the inaugural award for Blackpool in 1956 and TNT Sports pundit Michael Owen claiming the prize at Liverpool in 2001 as he edged out Real Madrid forward Raul and Bayern Munich goalkeeper Oliver Kahn.

Haaland won the Champions League, Premier League and FA Cup, and scored 52 goals in 53 total games for City.
Messi dominated the competition that everyone wants to dominate in history: a World Cup, which has more power than any other title, especially if you do it while being the tournament’s best player and Silver Shoe (seven goals and three assists in seven games) behind Kylian Mbappe. Messi scored in the round of 16, quarter-finals, semi-finals and in that epic final against France.
