Ballon d’Or 2021: Lionel Messi becomes candid, expresses his honest opinion on this year’s Ballon d’Or
“If I’m honest, I don’t think so [he can win it],” Messi admitted in a wide-ranging interview with SPORT, as per The Mirror. “My biggest prize was what I was able to achieve with the national team. After having fought and fought so much for that achievement, it was the best for all it cost. If the golden ball arrives it would be extraordinary for what it would mean winning one more. The seventh would be crazy. If not, nothing happens.”
