Messi named FIFA Best Player

Earlier, Sports Brief reported that Lionel Messi has been crowned the 2022 FIFA Best Player of the Year at the awards ceremony held in Paris, France, on Monday, February 27, 2023.

The legendary Argentina forward beat Paris Saint Germain teammate Kylian Mbappe and Real Madrid star Karim Benzema to win the top award.

Messi led Argentina to a third World Cup triumph in Qatar after netting in all the knockout games, including a brace in the final against France.

Messi considers Barca return

Lionel Messi’s future in Paris Saint-Germain is still uncertain with less than three months to the end of his current deal with the Ligue 1 champions.

The 35-year-old forward penned a two-year deal when he joined PSG in 2021 and although the club wants to renew his contract, Messi seems like he is thinking in another direction.

According to Goal, the seven-time Ballon d’Or winner is dreaming of returning to Barcelona despite earlier having a verbal agreement with PSG to extend his deal with the club.
