Cristiano Ronaldo And Leo Messi, considered two of the greatest players of their time, were not nominated for the Ballon d’Or for the first time since 2003.
For almost 20 years, Ronaldo and Messi have been known for their exceptional skills in football. Their rivalry has been a key part of modern football, pushing each other to break records and achieve remarkable feats.
The Ballon d’Or is one of the most respected individual awards in football, given to the best players in the world. Since 2008, either Ronaldo or Messi had won it every year until 2018, when Luka Modric broke their streak. Their constant presence on the shortlist was almost expected.
In 2023, neither Ronaldo nor Messi made the list, prompting deep reflection. Their absence from the shortlist also shows how football is always changing, with new stars like Kylian Mbappe and Erling Haaland bringing fresh energy.
Cristiano Ronaldo And Leo Messi not being on the Ballon d’Or list reminds us to celebrate their past achievements and think about how football will change without them leading. Their careers have been a lesson in resilience, passion, and striving for greatness, and their legacy will inspire future footballers.
Some fans may struggle to accept a Ballon d’Or list without Cristiano Ronaldo And Leo Messi, but it’s important to appreciate and welcome this new chapter in football. Though they may not vie for the trophy anymore, their influence in European football will last forever and they have given us many unforgettable moments.
