Ballon d'Or 2023: Every Winner Crowned in Football's Most Prestigious Awards
The 2023 Ballon d'Or gala represented what was likely the final occasion Lionel Messi claimed football's most coveted individual accolade. The Argentinian's historic eighth trophy was earned following his leadership of the national squad to FIFA World Cup triumph in Qatar the previous year.
Messi, who was playing for Inter Miami at that point, also established another milestone for the record books by becoming the sole player ever to claim the honor while representing three distinct clubs: Barcelona, Paris Saint-Germain and Inter Miami.
Aitana Bonmatí secured her inaugural Ballon d'Or Féminin trophy following her victories in the UEFA Women's Champions League and FIFA Women's World Cup with Barcelona and Spain respectively.
