Lionel Messi, where would you place him? Is he the greatest player of his generation or the greatest player of all time? Leave your responses in the comments section.
Lionel Messi can't forget the year 2021 because he won the Copa America, left Barcelona FC, and astonishingly, earned his seventh Balon Dior despite a shaky performance during the year. Lionel Messi has won the Balon D'ior seven times at the age of 34, and do you believe anyone can match that record?
Before I go into the meat of the matter, let's have a look at how the Balon Dior came to be.
Gabriel Hanot, a French football writer at the time, proposed the Balon Dior concept. Balon Dior was created with the intention of being named the best player of a given year. The Balon Dior is the most prestigious individual award in football right now. So far, 65 Balon D'iors have been won since 1956, with Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo winning 12 of the 65 Balon D'iors.
To save time, Lionel Messi's win of the Balon Dior award this year has elevated him and his current club, Paris Saint-Germain.
Is the Golden Ball awarded solely to the winner of the Balon Dior?
A resounding no. Though gold is valuable when sold, do you believe it is fair if the winners of this prize are simply given the golden ball and left alone?
According to sources, every time a player wins the Balon Dior, they collect $1.2 million. This implies that Barcelona FC has paid Lionel Messi $7.2 million for the six Balon Dior awards he received during his time with the club. Why did Barcelona FC pay Lionel Messi instead of France Football, the award's host?
The prize is the main goal of French football, and the players will receive a large sum of money from their respective clubs. Why are players paid if they win the Balon Dior?
Clubs compensate their players once they win this renowned trophy because numerous firms will begin to offer sponsorship arrangements to the clubs, and the clubs will profit greatly from these deals.
Clubs pay players to earn this honor in order to give them credit for bringing in additional sponsorships, raising the club's profile, and congratulating the player. Did you realize that teams and some targeted players sign a Balon Dior clause and agreements during transfer deals?
PSG signed a Balon Dior clause with Neymar, and if he had won it, he would have received $3.5 million as a bonus. Manchester United agreed to pay Antony Martial $12 million if he finished in the top three in the Balon Dior rankings in 2019, but regrettably, neither Neymar nor Martial have yet reached the top three.
To get to the point of this post, the amount Lionel Messi will make after winning his seventh Balon Dior with PSG cannot be determined because PSG will offer him a bonus for winning it, and he will also be compensated by Adidas (sponsorship) and other brands. According to speculations, Lionel Messi will win the Balon D'ior this year and get a big monetary award of $3.4 million to $5.67 million. Other football experts say
Not to mention the fact that Messi is the first PSG player to win the Balon Dior. Don't you think Adidas would give Lionel Messi a larger sum if Nike is willing to pay Cristiano Ronaldo $4.53 million for every worldwide title?
"Individual rewards, as I've stated many times before, are not my objectives.
None of the above, none of the above, none of the above, none of the above, none of the above, none of" This was Messi's statement in 2019. This means, like his teammate Sergio Ramos, he believes they play for a team award rather than an individual one. Do you believe this will be Messi's final Balon Dior?
Thank you for taking the time to read this. "We view things differently," as we usually do.
