On the evening of December 19th, Beijing time, the authoritative foreign media "GOAL" magazine officially announced that the 36-year-old Argentine superstar Messi was selected as the 2023 Player of the Year selected by the website. The winner of this award is determined entirely by fan votes.

In this year's best player voting, Messi easily defeated other candidates such as Haaland, Bellingham, Mbappe and De Bruyne, and won the award for the seventh time. Messi, 36, already has an unprecedented seven GOAL50 honors, two more than his eternal rival Cristiano Ronaldo, who failed to make the final list for the first time.

"GOAL" commented on Messi after winning the award: Last year, Messi led Argentina to win the World Cup for the third time in history. He also enters 2023 as a World Cup champion. In the first half of the season, Messi led Paris to defend the Ligue 1 title. In his final season at the Parc des Princes, the magician scored 21 goals and provided 20 assists in all competitions.

After his contract with Paris expired, Messi bid farewell to Europe and landed in the MLS to join the Inter Miami team run by Beckham. After joining Inter Miami, Messi scored 14 goals in his first 11 appearances and helped the club win the first championship trophy in team history.

In addition to the club field, Messi also helped the Argentina men's football national team win 5 of 6 games in the world preliminaries and won the Ballon d'Or for a record eighth time to reward his performance in club and national team. Outstanding performance.
