Pochettino nominates Messi to win the Ballon d'Or

Paris Saint-Germain coach Mauricio Pochettino believes that his compatriot Lionel Messi deserves to win the Ballon d'Or this year. Messi transferred to PSG last August from Barcelona, after his country gave Argentina its first Copa America championship title since 1993.

Pochettino: Messi deserves the Ballon d'Or

Pochettino said, in comments published by the Catalan newspaper Sport, "I have a problem about saying that Messi should win the Ballon d'Or, Neymar and Mbappe told me why they are not." Coach Mauricio Pochettino continued, saying: “In any case, it would be good for any player from Paris to win it, but Messi is the one who deserves it.” Paris Saint-Germain fans are still waiting for Messi's first goal in the French League, as the Argentine legend played 4 games without scoring or create chances for goals.
Messi scored 3 goals in 3 matches he played in the Champions League with Paris Saint-Germain, scoring a wonderful goal against Manchester City, before scoring two goals against RB Leipzig.
