Deserved victory for Messi

The PSG forward scored seven goals at the World Cup 2022, including a double in the final against Kylian Mbappe’s France.

2022 FIFA The Best was a close call as Messi had to see off tough competitions from Karim Benzema and Mbappe to win the award.

He is the fourth-highest scorer in Champions League history with 88 goals behind Cristiano Ronaldo, Messi and Robert Lewandowski.

Mbappe was the top scorer at the 2022 World Cup with eight goals, including a hat-trick in the final as France lost to Argentina on penalties.

Mbappe starred with the national team and scored important goals in the World Cup 2022 in which he was top scorer with eight goals, including a hat-trick in the final. He finished 2022 with 56 goals in 56 games for club and country

However, Messi’s excellent form for PSG this season, scoring 17 goals in all competitions, has played an important role in leading him to the award.
