At dawn on October 31 Vietnam time, the 2023 Golden Ball awards ceremony will take place in Paris, France. Lionel Messi is likely to win the award, not Haaland , according to what the international press has leaked recently.
This is a pity for Haaland, because he went through a successful 2022/23 season with a “treble” of titles with Man City including Premier League, FA Cup, and Champions League. In addition, the former Dortmund star also holds many personal records and remarkable scoring achievements.

He said: “I understand how much it means for Messi to win the World Cup, but you can’t ignore a team that won the treble and what Haaland contributed to that. He broke records. Haaland deserves to win the Golden Ball. If he doesn’t win it, this is a scandal.”
