 Players to compete for the Ballon d'Or in the coming years?

Lionel Messi: "There may be a very beautiful rivalry in the coming years with players like Haaland, Mbappe, Vinicius and many young people competing for the Ballon d'Or.  I also think that Lamine Yamal, who is still very young and now plays for Barcelona, ​​plays a prominent role despite being an important player, and certainly there will be others competing for it, and players that we do not know will appear, because there are always new players, and I think it will be a very beautiful era to enjoy."

Messi: “Haaland, Mbappe, Vinicius and many young players can compete for Ballon d’Or in the next years…”. “I also think that Lamine Yamal, who is still very young and plays for Barcelona, ​​will play a prominent role and fight for it in the future too”.
