Starting from 2008, the world of football entered the era of two formidable rivals. This year Messi won three consecutively, next year he will clinch the fourth.
In the next 5 years, Ronaldo will win the Golden Ball four times; the two will dominate this award for 10 consecutive years!
But with his entry, this pattern may quickly change. The goals that Neymar and Hazard never achieved, he surely will.
"Lionel Messi....!"
With Javi looking a bit dejected, Messi smiled. With achievements of over 80 goals and five championships in a year, he won the Golden Ball three years in a row!
As a club teammate, the disappointment at Javi's lips did not last long, turning into a smile that rose as he stood up to congratulate Messi.
"Clap-clap-clap...!" Enveloped in even more intense applause, Messi triumphantly walked to the stage, first arriving at the microphone to give his acceptance speech.
