SUBSCRIBE on Fanatico 👉 Here is how LIONEL MESSI SHOCKS ERLING HAALAND at BALLON D'OR 2023 ceremony! Jude Bellingham named world’s best young player Officially Let’s be honest: no chance was left to competitors in this regard. Real Madrid’s new star, Jude Bellingham, has been named the best young footballer in the world according to France Football. The English megatalent won the Kopa Trophy. Bellingham was ahead of Jamal Musiala, Alejandro Balde, Eduardo Camavinga, Gavi, Rasmus Højlund, Pedri, Antonio Silva, Xavi Simons and Elye Wahi. Moreover, Bellingham is also expected to receive the Golden Boy award presented by TuttoSport. World’s best goalkeeper and other awards Officially World Cup winner Emiliano Martinez has been named the best goalkeeper of the year in the world! Who would have thought that an Aston Villa shot-stopper could claim such a high-ranking award? Interestingly enough, Martinez was placed lower than Yassine Bounou in the Ballon d'Or voting, but the Yashin trophy was handed to the Argentine. And now, let's announce other awards: -The Gerd Müller Trophy (for the best male striker of the season) was given to Erling Haaland -Socrates Trophy (humanitarian and philanthropic activities off-the-field) was given to Vinicius Junior -The best club in the world was given to Manchester City -The best soccer player in the world was given to Aitana Bonmati -The best women's club in the world was given to Barcelona Messi's eighth Ballon d'Or! Officially Alright, so we eventually got exactly what we were expecting: Lionel Messi topped the voting ahead of Erling Haaland and Kylian Mbappe for the winner of the Ballon d'Or 2023! This is already the eighth such award in the GOAT’s career! An absolute world record that seems impossible to beat. Symbolically, ‘La Pulga’ received the top prize from his current employer and world football legend David Beckham. The complete top 30 based on voting results is as follows: photo IShowSpeed goes wild after Messi wins Ballon d'Or award Video YouTuber IShowSpeed is famous for his love for Cristiano Ronaldo. However, at the Ballon d'Or ceremony, his love for the Portuguese player reached its peak. Right before Lionel Messi was announced the winner Speed begged for his idol to win, even though Cristiano Ronaldo was not at the 2023 Ballon d'Or ceremony. He was not even nominated for the award. That's what we call unwavering devotion. Speed held onto hope until the very last moment, even though Messi's victory was the world's worst-kept secret. And when the inevitable happened, and Messi was crowned the winner, Speed's reaction was something out of this world. His emotions were like a rollercoaster, proving that when it comes to football idols, logic sometimes takes a back seat! Messi mentions Maradona during Ballon d'Or speech Quote "Today I wanted to mention Diego [Maradona]," Leo Messi said after claiming his 8th Ballon d'Or. "There's no better place to wish him happy birthday here, around many people loving football, as he wanted. Wherever you are, Diego... happy birthday. This is also for you," he added. Brilliant stuff from Leo. Diego Maradona could've turned 63 on Monday. The legendary Argentine passed away in 2020. Messi announced his return to Barca! Quote During the press conference after the Ballon d'Or ceremony, Lionel Messi was asked whether he would return to Barcelona someday. The legend made it clear that he does not rule out such an option in the future: "Return to Barcelona? Football is changing and anything can happen. Yes, I would like to return to Barça, and I could return to Barça in some way. It could happen and this is not excluded. One way or another I will be linked to Barça". Here’s how Messi shocked Haaland Quote Obviously, this Ballon d'Or is likely to be the last in Messi's career. Some might say that with his words addressed to Haaland and Mbappé during the ceremony, Leo has launched the beginning of a new era in football: "Haaland and Mbappé will win the Ballon d'Or one day. Erling deserved it very much too, he has won Premier League, Champions League while being the top scorer of everything. This award could have been yours today too... I'm sure in the next years you will win it." And what do you think: who will be the next winner of the Ballon d'Or?
