Lionel Messi has been named FIFA's Best Player for 2023

Lionel Messi won the esteemed FIFA Best Men’s Player title for the third time, this time as the recipient of the 2023 edition. Monday’s ceremony in London honored Messi for his outstanding achievements to the game of football.

Interestingly, Messi outperformed rivals like Erling Haaland, which boosted Manchester City’s joy. Notably, Messi’s World Cup-winning performance for Argentina in December 2022 and August 2023 were taken into account while determining his prize.

Despite winning the Ligue 1 championship, Messi’s tenure at Paris Saint-Germain came to an end on a rather low note. However, in June, he made a big transfer to Inter Miami of the Major League Soccer.

Messi made an immediate impression in the United States, helping David Beckham’s co-owned Inter Miami win the Leagues Cup in August and earn their first trophy. The honor is a testament to Messi’s achievement and ongoing influence in the football world.
