For the first time since 2005, the legendary Argentinean striker of the French Paris Saint-Germain, as well as the captain of the Argentine national team, Lionel Messi, was not included in the list of 30 contenders for the prize of the best football player of the Golden Ball.
This was reported on the page of the award in social networks.
The prize is presented by France Football magazine. Messi holds the record for the number of Ballon d’Ors he has won seven times.
He won this prize last year as well.
In 2002, for the first time, the Ballon d’Or will be awarded not according to the results of the calendar year, but according to the results of the season.
The awards ceremony will take place in Paris, at the Théâtre du Châtelet on October 17th.
Last season, Lyoel Messi played 34 matches for the Parisian club. He scored six goals and also scored 15 assists. Together with the Paris Saint-Germain club, the Argentinean became the champion of France.
