Lionel Messi's incredible career and his World Cup triumph undoubtedly put him in a favorable position to secure an eighth Ballon d'Or. His consistent performance and remarkable achievements make him a strong contender. However, it's important to note that the Ballon d'Or award is highly competitive, and other exceptional players like Erling Haaland and Kevin De Bruyne have had outstanding seasons that could challenge Messi's bid for the title.
Erling Haaland, with his goal-scoring prowess and impact in the football world, especially if he continues to excel with Manchester City, stands as a significant competitor for the prestigious award. Similarly, Kevin De Bruyne's exceptional skills and contributions to his team can't be overlooked, potentially making him a strong contender as well.
The Ballon d'Or recognizes the best player in the world, taking into account various criteria such as individual performance, team success, and influence on the sport. While Messi's World Cup victory enhances his claim, the final decision may also consider the overall performance and impact of each nominee throughout the year.
As of my last update in January 2022, the information about the future 2023 Ballon d'Or winner is not available. The actual winner will be revealed at the ceremony, and the decision will be based on the votes from journalists, national team coaches, captains, and, more recently, an online fan poll. Therefore, the anticipation and excitement surrounding this prestigious award remain high until the official announcement.
