Lionel Messi won the Ballon d'Or 2023 award at the Theatre du Chatelet in Paris on October 31. The Argentina star won the title for a record-extending eighth time, fending off stiff competition from Manchester City's Erling Haaland, who won the treble last season. Messi was always a favourite to win the award which is considered one of the most prestigious individual honours in football after he guided Argentina to the FIFA World Cup 2022 title in Qatar.
