Messi won the Ballon d'Or, given to the world's most outstanding soccer player of the year, at the 2023 Ballon d'Or awards ceremony held at the Châtelet Theater in Paris, France on the 31st (Korean time).

With this award, Messi once again made football history by receiving his 8th Ballon d'Or. Messi, who was the player who won the most Ballon d'Or awards in football history by winning his 7th Ballon d'Or in 2021, succeeded in winning the award again in 2023, earning the unprecedented title of '8-time Ballon d'Or winner'.

Rather than being happy about winning his 8th award, Messi went up to the podium with a calm expression and accepted the Ballon d'Or trophy. 

Many players who came to the awards ceremony also congratulated Messi on his award and gave him a standing ovation, and Messi responded by giving his thumbs up.

In his acceptance speech, Messi mentioned his time with Maradona, the World Cup, and Barcelona, ​​and even praised his rival, Erling Haaland's team, Manchester City. 

Messi later said, "I never imagined I would have the career I have, and after going through difficult moments with the national team, I would achieve my dream by winning the World Cup. 

I am happy to be here once again to enjoy this moment." Didn't hide it either.

Messi's former team, Barcelona, ​​congratulated Messi on his award through official SNS after his award, saying, "GOAT (Greatest Of All Time) has done it again. 

Barcelona is proud of you," and his current team, Inter Miami, also said, "Eight times He also released a video celebrating Messi's award, saying, "Award, only one name, Messi."

PSG, Messi's previous team, also posted a photo of the winner, Mbappe, and Langdal Kolo Muani, who were included in the 30 players, and congratulated President Nasser Al-Khelaifi on the award through a congratulatory message.

PSG said on its official SNS: "The Ballon d'Or celebrates the greatest players in the world.

 Reflecting the genius of Messi and Mbappe, we are very proud to have two of our 2022/23 PSG players on the podium. 

We are also very proud of this “I am happy that even Muani, who joined in the summer, has been recognized and has shown a standard of excellence that is maintained every year,” he said, congratulating Messi on his award and Mbappe and Muani on their selection as Ballon d’Or nominees.

However, PSG's congratulatory post had to be met with a cold response from fans supporting Messi.

Fans left comments on the post, saying, "PSG wasn't even mentioned in the thank-you speech, but you included him," "You hated Messi so much, and now you say he's yours again," "Delete him right now," and "You had no respect." 

He poured out strong criticism, saying, "PSG treated Messi in the worst way possible," and "When will they punish him?"

The reason for this reaction is that it was felt that the way the club treated Messi, who played for PSG until last season, was not sufficient. 

Ahead of the 2021/22 season, PSG has formed a tremendous attacking force by recruiting Neymar, Kylian Mbappe, and Lionel Messi. 

When three players with the world's best skills teamed up on one team, fans showed great anticipation, and PSG was immediately selected as a candidate to win the UEFA Champions League, which they had dreamed of.

However, the chemistry between the three players went differently than PSG expected. After the signing of Messi, PSG was eliminated in the round of 16 of the Champions League in both the 2021/22 and 2022/23 seasons, showing insufficient performance to challenge for the championship. 

Afterwards, Messi transferred as a free agent, ending the relationship between the three players.

In particular, the relationship between PSG fans and Messi was greatly strained last season. PSG, which was considered a candidate to win the UEFA Champions League in the 2022/23 season, was eliminated early in the round of 16 despite its outstanding performance, and some fans were angry at high-paid players from South America such as Messi and Neymar, not Mbappe. revealed. 

They were very dissatisfied with Messi and Neymar, who failed to lead the team to win the Champions League despite receiving high salaries, and attracted attention by going to their homes and holding protests. 

Messi visited Saudi Arabia at the last minute during his time at PSG and was severely punished by being banned from training and games for 'leaving without permission during training.'

Messi eventually poured out his anger after transferring to Inter Miami. 

I didn't want to go to PSG, I didn't plan on it. I didn't want to leave Barcelona," he said. 

I wanted to stay in Barcelona, ​​but I had to get used to living in a different city than where I used to live," he said, expressing negative feelings about life at PSG. 

He even confessed it.

Neymar, who was a teammate, directly criticized the treatment Messi suffered at PSG after his transfer to Al Hilal. 

He said: "I was very happy for the year I spent with Messi, but I was also sad because he went to heaven with the Argentina national team and went through hell with me in Paris.

 We will do our best, become champions and make history. "We came together to make it happen. 

But unfortunately we were not successful," he said, adding that he had a difficult time with Messi at PSG.

He added: “Messi left PSG in a way that was not right from a football point of view. Everything about Messi, or anyone who knows him, knows this: he trains, he fights, he gets angry when he loses, he is a man who makes me look unfair. 

He was treated well,” he said, explaining that although Messi put in a lot of effort at PSG, he was not treated well.

Afterwards, PSG fans attracted attention by visiting Inter Miami's home stadium, which was not their home stadium, and hung up a banner that read, "Messi has finally gotten rid of rudeness."

In this situation, when PSG posted a post congratulating Messi on the Ballon d'Or as if he were a team legend, fans who support Messi strongly criticized the club's actions.

Meanwhile, Mbappe and Neymar, who were teammates during their PSG days, also left posts congratulating the Ballon d'Or, independent of the relationship between PSG and Messi.

Mbappe posted a photo of Messi winning the Ballon d'Or on his SNS, writing, "Leo (Messi's nickname), congratulations on the award! You deserve it (Felicidades Leo por tu premio. Tú lo mereces)" and applause.

He also wrote an emoticon of hitting . Neymar also congratulated Messi on his award by tagging him along with Messi's award photo on social media, saying, "Congratulations Leo, you are the best."

Despite the congratulations on winning the Ballon d'Or, fans' criticism of the relationship between PSG and Messi continued, and it appears that it will be difficult for PSG to leave a big name in Messi's career due to the unfortunate separation between the club and the player.
