The award ceremony is even being held in Paris. He's been back with Real Madrid as the new year started, but that might not be enough to salvage his performance for the award. The Argentine Lionel Messi also has had a productive season with Paris Saint Germain as he scored 16 goals and had 14 assists in 27 appearances throughout all competitions. Karim Benzema was awarded the Ballon d’Or last year in October for his outstanding performance. Kylian Mbappe has been a massive force for both the French national side and Paris Saint Germain.

Lionel Messi has seven Ballon d'Or wins to Cristiano Ronaldo's five, but what about their Best FIFA Football Awards records?

Despite some below-par club performances in 2021-22, his superb performances at the 2022 World Cup, won by Argentina, must put him in with a great chance of drawing level with Ronaldo and Lewandowski. He won the first Best FIFA Men’s Player award in 2017 for his performances between November 2015 and November 2016, when his goals fired Real Madrid to a second Champions League title in three years and his coaching from the touchline helped Portugal win their first ever major tournament at the European Championships. Messi’s only victory so far came in 2019 for his performances in 2018-19, when he scored 51 goals in 50 games (still only his sixth best goalscoring season in his career) as Barcelona won LaLiga but came up short everywhere else. On top of all that, Los Blancos won LaLiga for the first time in five years. One man who will definitely not be winning anything this year, however, is Cristiano Ronaldo, who, for the first time in what feels like forever, hasn’t been nominated for something he could’ve been nominated for. It’s almost time for what I think we can safely say is still the second biggest award ceremony in world soccer (sorry FIFA).

Lionel Messi is undoubtedly one of the greatest footballers of all-time and he'll be hoping to cap off a stellar 2022 by taking home a FIFA The Best award ...
