Not Mbappe or Haaland, this is the public-ready candidate ready to ‘steal’ Lionel Messi’s Ballon d’Or title! After receiving his 8th Ballon d’Or award in his illustrious career, Lionel Messi delivered an emotional speech. Immediately after, the event host, Didier Drogba, invited Messi’s three sons onto the stage to celebrate with their father.

Notably, one of Messi’s sons, Mateo Messi, couldn’t resist the opportunity for a comedic moment and snatched the Ballon d’Or trophy from Lionel Messi’s hands. However, his younger brother quickly returned it to their father. The emergence of this contender on par with Messi at the 2023 Ballon d’Or has surely made Mbappe and Haaland envious.

When Lionel Messi achieved his 8th prestigious award, the least jubilant person might have been Mateo because everyone knows that he is a genuine fan of his father’s rival, Cristiano Ronaldo. On numerous occasions, El Pulga has had to endure teasing from his son after every defeat.

However, now Mateo Messi can only helplessly watch his father extend the gap with Ronaldo in terms of Ballon d’Or titles. CR7 has won this honor 5 times, and it’s highly likely that he won’t have another opportunity to catch up. Unfortunately, this could also be the final time fans witness Lionel Messi receiving the Ballon d’Or, marking the end of a 15-year era between Ronaldo and Messi.

The emergence of this contender on par with Messi at the 2023 Ballon d’Or has made Mbappe and Haaland green with envy.
The Ronaldo and Messi rivalry has lasted for 15 years.
There is no doubt anymore that the future Ballon d’Or race will belong to Kylian Mbappe and Erling Haaland. However, let’s not forget that the recipient of the Kopa Trophy, Jude Bellingham, has shown great competitiveness compared to the two older players after an impressive performance in a Real Madrid jersey.
