Paris Saint-Germain’s Lionel Messi has come away with his seventh Ballon d’Or as the 34-year-old continues to not only distance himself from his rival Cristiano Ronaldo but increase his record.
After beating out FC Bayern Munich striker Robert Lewandowski, Messi spoke to the media at a press conference. One of the questions that the Argentine answered is whether he believes that someone will eclipse winning the seven Ballon d’Or’s that he has already compiled in his career.
“I don’t know if someone will surpass it or not. There is always someone who breaks the records, that’s what they are for. I don’t know if he will get over it or not, but it is an impressive thing to have succeeded,” Messi said. “I am very happy to be in Paris and to be able to compete for all the titles again and to try to fight.”
