The Argentine in the year behind us did not have great success in club football, with Barcelona he won only the King's Cup, but that is why with the national team he came to the trophy of the "Copa America" ​​or his first big title with the national team.

Lionel Messi, the football player of PSG, won the record seventh "Golden Ball", which is traditionally awarded for the best football player of the year.

He was defeated three times in the final of the South American Championship (2007, 2015, 2016), but this year he finally climbed to the top in this national team competition. Argentina waited 28 years for the title of champion of South America, since 1993, and waited for the "wings" of Messi to reach the trophy.

The player now has two more "Golden Balls" than Cristiano Ronaldo, who this year was not in the shortlist for the award.

At the same time, the best goalkeeper in 2021 was Gianluigi Donaruma (member of PSG), while the best football player in the world is Alexia Putelas from the ranks of Barcelona.

Lewandowski won the award for the best striker in the world
