It was also stated that by 18 he was already among the candidates for the best player in the world and that he was now a serious contender for the Ballon d'Or. Invictos described his career trajectory as the best start to a career seen in the elite and predicted that he would become a global legend. #Fútbol #BalóndeOro #LamineYamal (translated)

Fran stated that Messi, at 40 years old, had a 22% chance of finishing among the top three in the Ballon d'Or, something that, as he wrote, had never been seen in history.

Football Attack shared an anecdote that Maxi López told about the 2010 Ballon d'Or. According to López, during the trip some Catalans believed the award would go to Andrés Iniesta or Xavi, as Lionel Messi had already won three or four. After the announcement that Messi had received the award, he said, tension was created on the private plane of Barcelona. López also recounted that, the next day, Messi dominated the short training matches. He clarified that he was not present and that a defender told him, describing that Messi had far surpassed everyone and was clearly the best. #LionelMessi #BalónDeOro #Fútbol (translated)

Juan Jesus stated that any information presenting Kylian Mbappé or another footballer as a favorite or leader in the Ballon d'Or voting was false. He argued that, as of today, neither the candidates nor their surroundings knew who was leading the vote. #BalónDeOro #Fútbol #Mbappé (translated)

Ronci stated that the Ballon d'Or should go to that person and affirmed that he had already said so at the end of the World Cup.

FerElTomateAzul criticized Real Madrid and stated that the club only displayed its "false superiority" when it suited them. He argued that its members did not attend the Ballon d'Or gala if they did not win and that they also did not show up at press conferences when they did not accept a red card that, according to the author, was deserved. #RealMadrid #BalondeOro #Fútbol (translated)

Madrid is losing prestige and legitimacy. They tried to condemn us before judging us, and it is being proven that there was nothing behind the accusations against us. You go to the institutions, you go to UEFA, you go to the EuroLeague, and they are against everything and everyone. The other day I was at the Congress, at the General Assembly of the European Football Clubs, and they didn't even have representation. It says a lot about the attitude of a club that is losing prestige, recognition, and credibility at the national, state, and international levels. It's evidence. They opt for a very arrogant, very haughty attitude. They know what they're doing. They should engage in self-criticism. In my opinion, he had a great season. Furthermore, he has won very important titles like the League and the World Cup. He is a very sincere, very direct, and very young guy. The truth is that Lamine is enthusiastic, and I understand that sometimes he expresses himself this way. In fact, there is a sort of competition. Perhaps before, with Messi and Cristiano, this didn't happen as much. For me, there was always uncertainty, although Messi had to win because he was the best, but they didn't publicly position themselves. Now it's a different way of handling the matter, and I think it shouldn't be blown out of proportion; it's a very human reaction from a 19-year-old who is going to make history in football. We'll see how it goes because there is absolute secrecy involved. We all tried to talk to France Football, and there's no way for them to leak anything. He got injured, came back, and has recovered here. The doctors say he will be available for the match in Paris. These are situations we have to accept. We have a team that enchants by playing football from Madrid; they try to downplay all of this. #Laporta #FCBarcelona #BalónDeOro (translated)
