Adrien Rabiot has stated that Inter Miami’s Lionel Messi does not deserve to win the Ballon d’Or in 2023.
Rabiot’s favorite players are Manchester City’s Erling Haaland and Paris Saint-Germain’s Kylian Mbappe.
Not everyone, according to the Frenchman, will agree with his choice.
Messi, Haaland, and Mbappe are among the leading contenders for the Ballon d’Or this year.
Many consider Messi to be the frontrunner to win his record eighth Ballon d’Or on October 30 after finally winning the FIFA World Cup with La Albiceleste, but Adrien Rabiot believes Haaland or Mbappe are more deserving of the top renowned individual honor.
“The Ballon d’Or? On a sporting level, it will be played between Kylian Mbappé and Erling Haaland, according to Rabiot, who spoke to RMC Sport (via AlbicelesteTalk).
“I’ve heard a lot about Messi getting it.”
“On a sporting level, however, it will be played between Kylian Mbappé and Erling Haaland,” he stated.
“It depends on what you base it on, but saying one of them would be complicated.” Not everyone always agrees, but I believe it will come down to these two.”
Mbappe had a fantastic year for PSG and France, scoring 41 goals and registering 10 assists in 43 appearances across competitions while capturing his sixth Ligue 1 title with the Parisians. He also won the Golden Boot at the FIFA World Cup in 2022, scoring eight goals in seven games.
Haaland, on the other side, accomplished the treble with Manchester City, winning the Champions League, FA Cup, and Premier League. Furthermore, the Norwegian was named the Premier League and Champions League top scorer.
