If Lionel Messi did not have a word for Paris SG when receiving the 2023 Ballon d’Or on Monday evening in Paris, while he did not forget to mention FC Barcelona, the Parisian club wanted to be a good player. Through a press release from President Nasser Al-Khelaïfi, PSG, which had Messi under contract for two years, welcomed the Argentine’s 8th coronation. “The Ballon d’Or celebrates the greatest players from around the world. We are very proud that two of our 2022-23 PSG players are on the podium, reflecting the genius of Leo and Kylian. We are also delighted to see our summer recruit Randal (Kolo Muani) recognized, demonstrating the standards of excellence maintained at Paris Saint-Germain year after year.”
