Lionel Messi took home the Ballon d'Or for the eighth time in his career, in a star-studded event held in Paris on Monday. The 36-year-old Messi succeeded last year's winner Karim Benzema to earn the honour, which was given out in recognition of Messi's exploits during the previous season, during which he led Argentina to victory in the FIFA World Cup 2022. Messi defeats fierce competition, particularly from Erling Haaland and Kylian Mbappe. In the end, Haaland came in second, Mbappe took third, Kevin De Bruyne finished fourth. Following Argentina's victory against France on penalties in the final match, Argentine sensation Messi scored seven goals and was crowned the FIFA World Cup 2022 best player.
