Inter Miami’s Messi, the winner of the award in 2021, played a crucial role in leading Argentina to their first World Cup title in 36 years in Qatar last season. The 36-year-old is now three Ballons d’Or ahead of his rival Cristiano Ronaldo, whose last win was in 2017 with five trophies in total. Messi has now finished in the top three a record 14 times, finishing as runner-up five times. “I couldn’t imagine having the career that I have had. Everything that I have achieved.

France sets new records in 14-0 victory, Dutch, Swiss, and Romania secure spots at Euro 2024

The French national team, known as Les Bleus, achieved a remarkable victory in the European qualifying tournament, setting a new record margin of victory. The match took place in Nice, where Ethan Santos’ own goal and a goal from Marcus Thuram started the scoring spree. The 17-year-old Warren Zaire-Emery also got on the scoresheet before being forced off the pitch due to an ankle injury. The floodgates truly opened when Santos received a red card just 18 minutes into the game. Kylian Mbappe converted a penalty to make it 4-0, and the goals kept coming with strikes from Jonathan Clauss, Kingsley Coman, and Youssouf Fofana before halftime. The second half saw goals from Adrien Rabiot, Coman again, and Ousmane Dembele. Mbappe sealed his hat-trick with two more goals, including an incredible lob from just inside the Gibraltar half, marking his 300th career goal at the age of only 24. Olivier Giroud came off the bench to add the final two goals, ensuring the history books were re-written. T
