Lionel Messi receives the “Champions of Champions” title

For his efforts with Argentina, Messi just received the “Champions of Champions” title, which is given annually by the French journal L’Equipe to the greatest athlete. The honor, which the magazine’s employees choose, has been given since 1946 and has been accessible to athletes from countries other than France since 1975. However, because of the high standards for voting, it was difficult for athletes who competed in team sports to be acknowledged. The best two this year, though, were both football players.

Messi took home the prize with an overwhelming 808 points, while Rafael Nadal of tennis, who just captured two Grand Slams, Remco Evenepoel of cycling, and Max Verstappen of Formula One completed the top 5. He is the 5th footballer get the award. He joins fellow countryman Diego Maradona (1986) alongside Paolo Rossi (1982), Romario (1994), and Zinedine Zidane (1998). Each of them guided their respective nations to World Cup victory the year they won the award. It serves as a unifying factor among the 5.

Following a vote between FIFA-appointed experts, Messi won the Golden Ball award over Luka Modric and Kylian Mbappe. The 35-year-old nearly took the Golden Boot with him when he departed Qatar. But Mbappe’s hat trick, which brought his championship total to eight goals, in the 118th minute of Sunday’s thrilling final, prevented him from receiving that award. Messi ended the 2022 FIFA World Cup with seven goals and three assists in his seven outings. After two matches went into overtime, he was one of three Argentina players to complete every single minute of their tournament (690 in total).
