Ballon d’Or. No Cristiano Ronaldo or Lionel Messi in the list, a first since 2003

by Chief editor of world-today-news.com September 4, 2024

written by Chief editor of world-today-news.com

The end of an era. For the first time since 2003, the list of nominees for the Ballon d’Or, unveiled this Wednesday, September 4, does not include Cristiano Ronaldo or Lionel Messi. Absences that testify to the declining influence of the two footballing monuments in their sport.

Departures to the United States and Saudi Arabia

Messi, who won the Copa America this year, has gone into exile in the United States and is playing for Inter Miami. Currently injured, he has played 15 matches this season (14 goals, 9 assists). The fact that he is not nominated is necessarily an event, especially since he was the defending champion and has won eight Ballon d’Ors.

READ ALSO. Nations League. Cristiano Ronaldo called up again for Portugal

The absence of “CR7”, five-time Ballon d’Or winner, is obviously not insignificant either, even if he was already missing last year. The Portuguese has just resumed the season in Saudi Arabia. He has scored four goals in as many matches in all competitions.

Exclusive: Messi Names Haaland, Mbappé, and Vinicius as Future Ballon d’Or Contenders

by Chief editor of world-today-news.com March 30, 2024

written by Chief editor of world-today-news.com

Argentine football legend Lionel Messi has named 4 players who could win the prestigious Ballon d’Or in the coming years.

La Pulga knows a thing or two about what it takes to win the Ballon d’Or, having won it a record 8 times.

Indeed, he is the current holder of this prestigious award, having led Argentina to World Cup glory in Qatar in 2022.

With the end of his career and the arrival of his great rival Cristiano Ronaldo in the Saudi championship with Al Nassr, a path opens up for the new generation.

Messi snubs Bellingham, discusses Ballon d’Or future

Messi discussed the Ballon d’Or in an interview with L’Equipe, listing the players with a chance of winning, while snubbing Real Madrid’s Jude Bellingham.

« The players who will compete for the Ballon d’Or in the years to come? There could be a great rivalry in the years to come with players like Haaland, Mbappé, Vinicius and many young players vying for the Ballon d’Or.

I also think that Lamine Yamal, who is still very young and now playing in Barcelona, will play a leading role and will fight for that in the future as well.

Certainly there will be others who will compete for it, new players that we don’t know will appear, because there are always new players, and I think it will be a very good era to enjoy ».

Bellingham has scored 20 goals in 31 appearances for Real Madrid this season and will certainly be in contention for the 2024 prize, but when it comes to Messi, the 20-year-old still has a few steps to go.

Luis Enrique Advises Kylian Mbappe on Winning the Ballon d’Or

by Chief editor of world-today-news.com November 3, 2023

written by Chief editor of world-today-news.com

French superstar Kylian Mbappe was third in this year’s Ballon d’Or award. Now PSG coach Louis Ntiqua has told Mbappe what he needs to do to win the next Ballon d’Or.

Ntiqua said if Mbappe is to win the Ballon d’Or, he will have to perform well with Paris Saint-Germain and France.

“In order to win the Ballon d’Or, apart from individual performances, Mbappe must also win trophies with the club and for the national team. He is trying to win as much as possible in Paris. He can do the same for France. I am sure he will win many Ballon d’Ors,’ Ntiqua told reporters.

Mbappe scored a hat-trick against Argentina in the final of the 2022 Qatar World Cup, but France missed out on the World Cup. The star was also unable to win the Champions League with French giants Paris Saint-Germain. All this put Mbappe behind Norwegian superstar Erling Haaland on the Ballon d’Or list.

Mbappe hasn’t had a great start to this season. Mbappe struggled to score in consecutive matches. But in the last few matches, the player has returned to his best form.

The player has scored ten goals and one assist from nine matches in League One. He also scored two goals in the Champions League.

PSG is currently in second place in the French league with 21 points from ten matches.

Paris Saint-Germain’s next match in Ligue 1 is against Montpellier on November 11. The venue is the Parc des Princes stadium, the home ground of PSG.

Angevins Beat Bordeaux to Secure Second Place in Ligue 2 Standings

by Chief editor of world-today-news.com October 22, 2023

written by Chief editor of world-today-news.com

The Angevins beat Bordeaux this Saturday and climbed to second place.

Angers, with a good victory on Saturday at home against Bordeaux (2-0), moved up to second place in Ligue 2, Grenoble and Auxerre, also fighting for the climb, having each conceded a draw during the 11th day .

Stade Lavallois, undefeated leader with 25 points, will have an opportunity to consolidate its lead when it hosts Saint-Etienne (6th) on Monday evening. In the meantime, Angers occupies 2nd place with 23 points. Followed by Auxerre (22 pts) and Grenoble (21 pts). In their Raymond-Kopa stadium, the Angevins offered themselves a fifth success in a row by dominating the Bordelais.

Alexandre Dujeux’s men first took advantage of a blunder by goalkeeper Rafal Straczek converted by Jean-Romeric Lopy (32nd). They then unfolded their game of movements and sharp races which pierced the Gironde rearguard, scoring in the 60th a magnificent collective goal concluded by the young 18-year-old striker, Jean-Mattéo Bahoya.

Opposite, the Bordelais, for the first of their new Spanish coach Albert Riera, tried to deploy a polished game but were very clumsy in the last gesture. For its part, Grenoble, who were playing at home, snatched a precious point after a crazy match (3-3) but lost ground in the race to climb. Fourth, Vincent Hognon’s men let themselves be surprised by Valenciennes without any complexes and guided by Aymen Boutoutaou, scorer (13th) then author of a decisive corner (57th).

Trailing 3-2 until the 90th minute, the Grenoblois equalized at the last minute through Amine Sbaî, in a very fast-paced match, in which the two teams went blow for blow. A little earlier in the afternoon, the Auxerrois had extended their good series with a ninth match in a row without defeat, but had to concede the draw (1-1) in Caen (1-1), where they found their former coach Jean-Marc Furlan, sacked last year, on the opposite bench.

The Burgundians opened the scoring with a big mistake from left back Ali El Abdi, who scored against his camp while trying to pass back to his goalkeeper (6th). The Caennais equalized at the start of the second period (52nd) on a cross from Yoann Court deflected by the Auxerre defense which deceived Donovan Léon. At the bottom of the table, Dunkerque gave in once again (3-1) against Paris FC, suffering a 7th defeat in eleven matches which keeps them in 20th and last place with 6 points. Author of a draw at Guingamp (1-1), Quevilly-Rouen remains 19th but continues a third match without defeat.
