Pep Guardiola has stated that he would love for Erling Haaland to win the Ballon d'Or this year but he realizes Messi is a more likely candidate. Speaking to the press ahead of Manchester City's Premier League match on Saturday against Brighton & Hove Albion, Guardiola opined that Haaland should win the Ballon d'Or as City won the treble last season. He said: "Haaland should win - Yes. We won the treble and he scored a million goals." However, Guardiola is aware of the fact that Haaland might not be able to pip Messi to football's most prestigious individual prize. The seven-time Ballon d'Or winner fired Argentina to the World Cup and received the Golden Ball at the competition. He also won the Ligue 1 title with PSG last season. Messi scored 21 goals and provided 20 assists in 41 appearances across all competitions for the Parisians last season. Meanwhile, Haaland netted 52 goals and laid out nine assists in 53 appearances in all competitions for Manchester City last term. Guadiola added: "The Ballon d'Or has to be two sections. ONE FOR MESSI, and after look for the others. THE WORST SEASON OF MESSI IS THE BEST FOR THE REST.” “Realistically I want Haaland to have it cause he helped us achieve what we achieved, I would love it. BUT MESSI WON THE WORLD CUP. It’s good players here are up for the award, it makes us so proud.” The winner of the much-coveted award will be announced at the Ballon d'Or ceremony on October 30.

Pep Guardiola : "What Messi did in World Cup makes him favorite to win the Ballon d'Or." Ståle Solbakken (Norway Head Coach) : "If you ask me who I think will win the Ballon d'Or, I will say Messi will win it. Thanks to his World Cup triumph. It still has an impact." Rodri: "Who will win the Ballon d'Or? Leo Messi." Kevin De Bruyne: "Lionel Messi is the Best. I think he will win the Ballon d'Or." Julián Álvarez: " The Best is Messi. He will win the Ballon d'Or." Phil Foden: "Lionel Messi deserves to win the Ballon d'Or." Bernado Silva: "What Messi has done in World Cup was outstanding. He deserves to win the Ballon d'Or. Penadogs think otherwise, una wey dey watch matches on livescores, highlights or back of the Tv at viewing centers, go start screaming Haaland was robbed 😂. I remember how yall want Inter to fvck City during the last UEFA Champions league final. It’s strange they are supporting Haaland cos Leo is involved 😂. Messi already won his 8th d’or. If y’all no scream robbed Wetin una gain. Argentina go still win 2026 World Cup and Leo go Dey part of the squad. We go retire with 2 world cups Una tears too sweet 😋 3 Likes 1 Share
