Before, he sat in a chair that emulated that of a film director to watch the video that the organization had prepared for him, in which his wife and his family appeared in full. It was hard to hold back tears. Rosario’s one regains the throne of 2015, after chaining four between 2009 and 2012.
His speech was emotional, after the protocol words regarding rivals and teammates: “I remember that for my first Golden Ball I came to Paris with 22 years, with my three brothers, it was something incredible, now 10 years later I am at a different time, very special in my personal life with my wife and three children, who accompany me along with my brother and a nephew. message, in all this time I never stopped dreaming, of continuing to want to grow, of continuing to improve day by day and especially enjoying football. Thank God I can do what I love since I was one or two years old and God wants me to stay several more years to continue enjoying. I am aware of how old I am and these moments are much more enjoyable because the time of withdrawal is approaching and it is difficult. I repeat, although I have several more years left, right now I stop ce that time flies and that everything happens very fast. I hope to continue enjoying football, my family, the rivals and this life that I have ”
God willing me to have several more years to continue enjoying. I am aware of how old I am and these moments are much more enjoyable because the moment of withdrawal is approaching. “
Messi won the Liverpool champions Van Dijk (2nd) and Mané (4th), who despite eliminating Barça and winning the Champions League have not added as many votes as the 10 Barça, and Cristiano Ronaldo (3rd), the four finalists that the organization left for last. The top ten is completed by Cristiano, Salah, Mbappé, Alisson, Lewandowski, Bernardo Silva and Mahrez. In the list of the 30 finalists there has been no Spanish player, something unprecedented in the last two decades. Messi, Pichichi and Golden Boot last season, won the League, could not take Barça to the Metropolitan final after the Anfield debacle despite being also the top scorer of the competition (12), and fell in the Cup against Valencia, although he also scored in Villamarín. Leo becomes the player with the most Golden Balls in history with half a dozen awards, which raise him above Cristiano Ronaldo, absent in Paris, in that pulse that they have maintained beyond the last decade and now unbalances on Messi’s side.
