FIFA awards leak as 'result' of Lionel Messi vs Kylian Mbappe vs Erling Haaland emerges: Reports
Lionel Messi will reportedly beat Kylian Mbappe and Erling Haaland to win the FIFA The Best award on Monday.
FIFA are allegedly set to ‘remind’ L’Equipe and France Football that the World Cup winner was not a contender for the Ballon d’Or in October.
Messi was not even nominated for the Ballon d’Or, which was won by Real Madrid and France striker Karim Benzema.
That is despite the iconic forward enjoying a much better season with Paris Saint-Germain.
The 35-year-old was then the star of Argentina’s World Cup-winning team.
He is now reportedly set to have his latest triumph recognised by FIFA at their The Best awards.
Messi will apparently be handed FIFA’s The Best Men’s Player award on Monday, beating the likes of Mbappe and Haaland.
It will be just the second time the former Barcelona star has won the prize, having scooped it in 2019.
