FIFA The Best: Real Madrid player justifies voting for Messi


Athlete of the Spanish team elected captain of his national team

After discovering your vote in Lionel Messi for The Best of FIFA, David Alaba was criticized by Real Madrid fans, who expected the vote for Karim Benzema. On social media, the player justified himself by stating that his choice was thought of collectively with his teammates from the Austrian national team.




– The Austrian national team voted for this award as a team, not (voted) alone). All members of the team council can vote and so it has been decided. Everyone knows, especially Karim (Benzema), how much I admire him and his performances and I have said many times that for me he is the best center forward in the world and still is. No doubt.

With the aim of “correcting” The Best’s calendar, Fifa has extended the period for evaluating player performance, which started in August 2021 and ended in December 2022. Unlike the Ballon d’Or, the World Cup it was one of the criteria that allowed Lionel Messi to surpass Karim Benzema and Kylian Mbappe.

In the upcoming The Best, the chosen players will be judged on their performance in each year (January to December), and not on the European season. With the result, Messi lifted the individual trophy for the seventh time in his career and continues to add impressive marks in his career.
