The 2023 Ballon d’Or ceremony marked the last time, and likely the final time, Lionel Messi won the sport’s most prestigious individual honor. The Argentine’s record-extending eighth award came off the back of guiding his national team to FIFA World Cup glory the year prior in Qatar.
Messi, an Inter Miami player at the time, also set another record for the history books becoming the only player in history to win the award at three different clubs: Barcelona, Paris Saint-Germain and Inter Miami.
Aitana Bonmatí won her first Ballon d’Or Féminin award after winning the UEFA Women’s Champions League and FIFA Women’s World Cup with Barcelona and Spain respectively as well.
