Winner of Ballon d'Or 2019 award finally named between Messi and Ronaldo


The winger netted an astonishing 51 goals in all competitions for his club in the 2018-19 campaign. And Mbappe, who is also a strong contender for the coveted gong, backed Messi for the individual honour.

The PSG star was convinced the Argentine will clinch the award because he boasts the most remarkable calendar year among the thirty nominees, Goal reports. “Messi. In individual terms, he was the best this year,” Mbappe told German media outlet Der Spiegel. The 32-year-old Argentine forward has won the awards on five different occasions tying him with Juventus striker Ronaldo who also has five pieces of the honour in his name.

Messi won the Ballon d'Or award in 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2015, and he is one of the three favourites to take away the most sought gong this year.
