Tower 9? Messi is expected to win the Super Ballon d'Or! became the second person in history, competing with 4 opponents including Ronaldo

The 2024 Ballon d'Or has just been decided, and Messi has not been shortlisted in the top 30, but the Argentine king still has a chance to compete for his "9th" Ballon d'Or. On October 31, Beijing time, a report from the well-known media talksport said that Messi may be awarded the "Super Golden Ball Award" in 2029.

As a "special edition" of the Ballon d'Or, which France Football presents each year, the Super Ballon d'Or has only been awarded once to date, taking into account the achievements of the winning players throughout their careers, their impact on the teams they represent, and the sport as a whole.

Real Madrid legend Di Stefano became the first winner in 1989. At that time, Di Stéfano beat Cruyff, Charlton and Beckenbauer to win the prize. It is reported that the Super Golden Globe Award is only awarded once every 40 years, which means that in 2029, a second "Super Golden Globe" will be born.

Not surprisingly, Messi, who has won the Ballon d'Or 8 times, will be the biggest favorite for this "Super Ballon d'Or". However, Messi is not completely without opponents. In addition to Messi,Cristiano Ronaldo, Ronaldo, Zinedine Zidane, Van Bastenand other legendary stars are also strong contenders. Cristiano Ronaldo, in particular, has won the Ballon d'Or five times and is the all-time top scorer, scoring 907 goals in 1,246 games.

By 2029, Messi and Ronaldo should have retired, but the "peerless duo" in football may also compete fiercely again for the Super Ballon d'Or.
