Live Mint  

Lionel Messi clinched his eighth Ballon d'Or on October 30. Staged at the Chatelet Theatre in Paris, Messi emerged victorious over other football luminaries like Erling Haaland and Kylian Mbappe. Messi, after winning the World Cup for Argentina in 2022, wished Maradona was alive to see his country become world champions again. Other contenders for Ballon d'Or Messi faced intense competition, notably from Norwegian striker Erling Haaland and France's Kylian Mbappe. With eight goals, three of which came in the championship match versus Argentina, the French football player finished as the tournament's top scorer in 2022.
