Lionel Messi is the favourite to win the eighth Ballon d'Or of his remarkable career when this year's ceremony to crown the planet's best footballer takes place in Paris on Monday, while Spain's World Cup-winning star Aitana Bonmati is tipped to take the women's prize.
Last season saw Messi lead Argentina to glory at the World Cup in Qatar, where he scored seven times and was named the tournament’s best player. “I always said that the Ballon d’Or should be in two sections, one for Messi, and after that look for the other one,” Guardiola said recently.“But of course if you tell me the worst season of Messi, it would be the best season for the rest of the players.
As an example, the manager of leading French club Lens, Franck Haise, last week did not hesitate when asked who he would vote for.“Because he had such a complete season and he is an exceptional player. Even if I think it will be won by a player who won the World Cup, which I would not find jarring.” So impressive has she been that Guardiola has likened her to another Barcelona great, Andres Iniesta.
