French football raised a lot of dust by awarding the seventh “Golden Ball” to Lionel Messi, and the Argentine himself did not try to alleviate the situation.
Many agree in the assessment that the prestigious award should have ended up in the hands of Robert Lewandowski, and Messi also had an interesting statement.
- You deserve the Golden Ball. Last year, we all agreed that you should have been a big winner – Messi said after the reception.
And many will agree with him. Both for 2020 and for 2021.
Messi also spoke about the potential end of his career.
- I don’t know how many more years I will play football, but I hope that there will be a lot of them, because I’m still having great fun – the Argentine pointed out, and then he touched on winning trophies with the national team.
- My biggest prize was the one in June. Winning the trophy for the national team has been my goal since I started playing football. That is why I dedicate this Golden Ball to my teammates who enabled me to win the Copa America – the Argentine concluded.
