Reasons to Support Messi's Ninth Ballon d'Or
Lionel Messi is considered a leading candidate to win the Ballon d'Or in 2026, benefiting from his outstanding performance in the 2026 World Cup, where he led Argentina to the final, scored eight goals, and provided four assists, despite their loss in the tournament. His brilliance with Inter Miami in Major League Soccer has also strengthened his chances, having scored 29 goals and made 16 assists during the 2025 season, and currently netting 25 goals with 12 assists so far in 2026. This underscores his continued brilliance despite his advancing age and playing outside European leagues. His disciplined sporting conduct, team success, and his historical stature are factors favoring his candidacy for the award. The 2026 edition aims to give him the opportunity to achieve his ninth Ballon d'Or, despite challenges such as losing the World Cup final and playing outside Europe.
