Lionel Messi Skipped the 2023 Best FIFA Ceremony

Lionel Messi continues to be this month's taste. The 2023 FIFA "The Best" Award winner, an Argentinean superstar, has made news. But the Inter Miami face was missing from the esteemed London award ceremony. Despite the fact that he "did not do anything," La Pulga was certain he would receive the honor, according to a USMNT great.

Veteran USMNT player Janusz Michallik made a significant assertion about Lionel Messi's absence on ESPN's morning broadcast. He contended that Messi's nine goals and a US League Cup victory, which is no less than a "made-up tournament," are superior to Haaland's treble and fifty goals. "Perhaps there's a reason why all three of them didn't show up," he continued. Messi, even though he isn't doing anything, because he most likely knew he was ashamed that he would receive that.

Lionel Messi is presently on his off-season, Michallik insisted. So he might have taken a plane to London. The legendary USMNT player also mentioned the other two, who declined the invitation. "Haaland, tell me how long it takes him to get there by train. Perhaps Mbappe had a reason. However, three of them didn't take the trophy seriously, and some of these players are known to know who will win ahead of time, so it's kind of a farce, he said. Have we heard any official responses amidst all the chaos?
