Messi, Haaland, Mbappé Lead Fifa's The Best Award Shortlist by AImiron: 6:03pm On Sep 14, 2023
Lionel Messi, Erling Haaland and Kylian Mbappé lead the 12-player shortlist for FIFA's The Best Men's Player nominees, with England midfielder Declan Rice also nominated after captaining former club West Ham United to Europa Conference League success

Argentina captain Messi, now playing for MLS side Inter Miami, is aiming to win the award for a record third time having been given the honour in 2019 and 2022.

But despite helping Argentina to World Cup glory at Qatar 2022, Messi faces stiff competition from Manchester City forward Haaland after the Norway international scored 52 goals as Pep Guardiola's side completed a Premier League, Champions League and FA Cup treble last season.

Julián Álvarez, Marcelo Brozovic, Kevin De Bruyne, Ilkay Gündogan, Rodri, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, Victor Osimhen and Bernardo Silva make up the shortlist alongside Messi, Haaland, Mbappe and Rice.

Spain, who won the Women's World Cup for the first time in Australia last month, have four players on the 12-name shortlist for women's award with Aitana Bonmatí, Jenni Hermoso, Mapi León and Salma Paralluelo all in the race to succeed La Roja midfielder Alexia Putellas by winning the trophy.

Linda Caicedo, Rachel Daly, Kadidiatou Diani, Caitlin Foord, Mary Fowler, Alex Greenwood, Amanda Ilestedt, Lauren James, Sam Kerr, Hinata Miyazawa and Keira Walsh are also nominated, with Lindsey Horan the only United States player making it onto the shortlist.

Voting for the eighth annual awards opened on Thursday on FIFA.com and closes in mid-October. National team coaches, captains, journalists and fans make up the list of voters.

Haaland should win this, we have Ballon d’or in the bag already. Make the new cat pick this one.

Penadogs it’s time to cry once again, the desert lord has been forgotten albeit he still plays. Messi is also playing outside Europe, he’s still getting recognition everywhere. What a time to be alive!!! Drinking penadogs tears daily 😂🤣

Penadogs crying as usual cos Messi getting nominated for another award? Here to remind u that Penaldo hasn’t won anything relevant ever since 2017

Y’all free to cry in my mentions as usual. Cry wella in advance.

20, Messi battled Kaka & Ronaldo
21, Messi battled Ronaldo & Torres
22, Messi wrestled it from Ronaldo

22-32, Messi vs Ronaldo

33, Messi battled VVD
34, Messi battled Lewandoski
36, Messi Still de give Mbappe, Haaland & Vini run

After Ronaldo battled Messi for about 12-15years, Ronaldo retired from FIFA Best & Balon D’or contest at 33…..Messi carried on.

This obviously means, Messi is the definition of consistency

Football door was shut against greatness until Pele came with his magical wand and mysterious spell to unlock the door. Never seen a more clever player with a touch of invicinbility than Diego Maradona. Ronaldo took goal scoring to the seventh realm. Henry's coronation as the king of Highbury was well graced. Messi plays so well that Michellango was contracted to paint his picture in heaven afterall the gods said Leo is the best gift they ever gave the sporting world. But in all of these, I have never encountered a player who made the round leather game quite enjoyable as Ronaldihno..... Ohhhh gosshhhh. A walking piece of art, magic, fun and humility. The rulers of these world gathered in amusement on the Maracana turf and said to themselves "Here played a legend in whom we are well pleased "

It won't be decided base on European tournaments alone

Very few privilege people will be selected around the world to vote.

I see Halaand wining it though. He deserve it but Messi shouldn't be write-off. What he did at the world cup with his teammates is not an easy feat.

Easy brother na Haaland go win balloon d'or after everything he don win nobody go fit tell me say he nor go win am.

Messi and Ronaldo don try make they go rest no more titles for them, they have already won enough. Make they leave am for the young blood. Why Messi is still showing in the media is because he won the world cup.

Messi fans are toxic like Bat supporters while Ronaldo fans are dumb like obident.
