Shocking, the way Messi snubbed Mbappe and hailed Haaland in his Ballon d'Or speech

Lionel Messi was awarded with his eighth Ballon d’Or in his career and surprised the media and the fans during the ceremony celebrated in France as he snubbed Mbappe in the speech he gave after receiving the trophy from the hands of the Manchester United legend David Beckham, one of one of the owners of his new team, Inter Miami. 

The Argentine player, who was awarded for his performance during this whole season, where he played for PSG and finished playing some months in Inter Miami, gave a speech where he mentioned Mbappe but focused on the Haaland merits to win the Ballon d’Or someday ignoring the achievements of his former teammate at PSG.

In this sense, Messi hailed the Manchester City player for the great season developed with the Citizen, and bet on him to win the Ballon d’Or in the future. Haaland and Mbappé will win the Ballon d’Or one day. “Erling deserved it very much too, he has won Premier League, Champions League while being the top scorer of everything. This award could have been yours today too. I’m sure in the next few years you will win it”, said Messi. 

Messi hit Mbappe back after having been snubbed by him at PSG

The Argentine superstar completed in this way his vengeance against his former teammate at PSG, who snubbed him during some games avoiding to pass him the ball preferring to complete difficult individual plays and causing the anger of Messi, who in the Ballon d’Or ceremony would have found his way of hitting the French striker back.
