Hat-trick Hero: Lionel Messi Scores FIFA Best Men’s Player Award
It’s the Messi FIFA Award for the Third Time

In the world of soccer, Lionel Messi just keeps raising the bar. The Argentine ace has made history by bagging The Best FIFA Men’s Player award for the third time. At 36, Messi is still showing the youngsters how it’s done. This Messi FIFA award was announced at the star-studded FIFA Soccer Awards in London, making Messi the first player ever to win this award three times.
A No-show with a Big Impact
While Messi wasn’t there to bask in the spotlight – he’s busy gearing up for a friendly match with his Inter Miami team – his achievement speaks volumes. Beating tough competition like Erling Haaland and Kylian Mbappe, Messi proved he’s still the king of the pitch. His previous wins in 2019 and 2022 were just warm-ups; 2023 is the year he cements his legend with the Messi FIFA award.
Messi’s Magical Run
This year’s FIFA award criteria looked at players’ performances from late 2022 to mid-2023, and Messi was nothing short of spectacular. His phenomenal performance at Qatar 2022, where he dazzled with goals and assists galore, leading Argentina to glory, still buzzes around our heads. But that’s not all – after his switch to Miami in July, Messi has been on fire, scoring goals left, right, and center and even steering his team to win the Leagues Cup.

Joining the Legends
Messi’s latest triumph puts him in an exclusive club with some of soccer’s greatest. Since the inception of The Best FIFA Men’s Player award in 2016, only a handful of players like Cristiano Ronaldo, Luka Modric, and Robert Lewandowski have claimed this honor. But this third Messi FIFA award has just raised the stakes, proving once again why he’s a true soccer legend.
