The 2023 Ballon d’Or is up for grabs this week, with Lionel Messi the firm favourite to pick up his 8th trophy from the France Football Magazine following his World Cup 2022 victory.

Erling Haaland is also in the running after a superb debut season with Manchester City, winning the treble while scoring a staggering 52 goals across all competitions.

But JJ Bull believes someone else should be in the running. Just who is that player, and how deep does the conspiracy go against them never having won it?
