Every year again – and yet on October 30th there could be something new at the Théâtre du Châtelet in Paris. Should Lionel Messi be presented with the prestigious trophy for the eighth time, the Argentine would become the first footballer in history to be named the best footballer in the world outside of a European league.
In order to reach this milestone, the Inter Miami superstar has to prevail against well-known competition. With Erling Haaland (Manchester City) and Kylian Mbappé (Paris Saint-Germain), the new generation has legitimate chances of winning the 2023 Ballon d’Or.
For women, however, the matter seems to be clearer. Aitana Bonmatí conquered both the Spanish championship and the UEFA Women’s Champions League with FC Barcelona, and she celebrated a historic World Cup title with the national team. She has already been voted Player of the Year by UEFA – now comes the ultimate crowning glory?
Jamal Musiala (FC Bayern Munich), Ilkay Gündogan (FC Barcelona), Alexandra Popp and Lena Oberdorf (both VfL Wolfsburg) are a German quartet at the Ballon d’Or 2023 – but with extremely slim chances.

Yashin Trophy 2023: Marc-André ter Stegen among nominees
In addition to the men’s and women’s Ballon d’Or, there is also an individual award for goalkeepers.
The best keeper of the 2022/23 season will receive the Yashin Trophy. It is named after the goalkeeper legend Lev Yashin, Olympic champion in 1956 and European champion in 1960 with the Soviet national team.

Marc-André ter Stegen, a German player, is also among the nominees.
Triple winner Ederson from Manchester City and world champion Emiliano Martínez (Aston Villa) have the best chances of winning the coveted trophy.
Kopa Trophy 2023: Bellingham and Musiala in the top duel
Of course, the aspiring stars of the big football stage cannot go away empty-handed either.
“France Football” will crown the world’s best U21 player on Monday evening, with the winner receiving the Kopa trophy.
In addition to Jamal Musiala and Jude Bellingham, both of whom are also nominated for the Ballon d’Or, Eduardo Camavinga (Real Madrid), Gavi and Pedri (both FC Barcelona) and Xavi Simons (PSV Eindhoven) have their hopes up.
