Leo Messi collected his eighth Ballon d’Or this Monday at the Chatelet Theater in Paris, ahead of Erling Haaland and Kylian Mbappé, and as happens almost every year, some reopened the debate about whether or not the winner was fair. In the case of the Argentine star, finally world champion with the Albiceleste team, the debate has always continued and the question, now repeated, is not only if the ex-Azulgrana is the best in the world, but if he is the one best footballer in history.
At MD, we like to ask our readers the same question and the answer leaves no room for doubt. And of the more than 8,000 voters (8,285) who participated in the survey conducted on our website in the first hours after the gala held in Paris, almost 95% (94.93% exactly) they are clear: “Messi is the best player in history”.
In 36 years and eight Ballon d’Orsthree more than his immediate pursuer, Cristiano Ronaldo, and with the most awaited and sought after World Cup on his record, few would have thought that Messi It’s not the best in history. Specifically, just over 5% of MD readers participated in our survey. The numbers don’t lie. Messi is the best footballer of all time.
