Lionel Messi has been nominated for the Best FIFA Men’s award.
Messi is the only Argentine nominated for the award this year after winning several individual and team awards. The Argentine won the Best FIFA Men’s award back in 2019 and came in second place in 2016 and 2017 while in third last year. Here are the other players that have been nominated:
Karim Benzema
Kevin De Bruyne
Cristiano Ronaldo
Erling Haaland
Jorginho
N’Golo Kanté
Robert Lewandowski
Kylian Mbappé
Neymar
Mohamed Salah
With the Argentina national team, Messi won the Copa America while also winning the best player and top scorer award. With FC Barcelona, he won the Copa del Rey and won the Pichichi award in La Liga as the top scorer.
Once Messi retires, I don’t see anyone other of our players getting nominated. Off course, we don’t know what we don’t know. Someone can always surprise us. Will be great to have that surprise.
BTW, super happy to see Lionel Scaloni in the best coaches list!! Way to go!
True. Considering European bias and hates towards SA players, i indeed do not see any SA players nominated in future. Even with Messi, if he was not with Barca they probably would have overlooked him. I just looked at FIFA stats, they deliberately omitted Messi’s COPA DEL REY and pichichi win while at Barca. European are tired of seeing best players coming from SA and now they tried to make their own. There was a research that showed Messi was hated by Media more than C. Ronaldo but we wont hear it.
