Messi sharing Ed Sheeran's frame earned tens of millions of hearts, suddenly criticized for one reason

Before the 2023 Golden Ball Awards, Messi and his relatives had a memorable time in America. The moves of the Argentinian superstar's small family attracted great attention from fans.

Since moving to Inter Miami in July, Lionel Messi's training and competition schedule has been much easier than when he played in Europe. Thanks to that, the 36-year-old player and his small family have many opportunities to meet and have dinner with famous people.

Not long after, Messi and teammate Sergio Busquets had a meal with Beckham and his son Brooklyn at a luxury restaurant said to be in Miami. The sisterhood includes: Victoria Beckham, Antonela - Messi's wife, Elena - Busquets' wife and Victoria's daughter-in-law Nicola Peltz also attended this special evening.

Ole newspaper used the word "memorable" to describe the experience Messi and his family just had. In the coming time, the Argentine star is expected to have many other interesting dinners in the context of not having to compete much, meaning that from now until the end of the year he will be quite free.

In the immediate future, Messi is preparing to fly to Paris (France) to attend the 2023 Golden Ball Awards Ceremony, where the 36-year-old player is considered the number 1 candidate for the men's title. Early next month, he will have a tour in China before returning to serve for the Argentine national team.

Recently, there has been a lot of information confirming that Lionel Messi is sure to win the 8th Golden Ball in his career. The proof is that on October 13, Alessandro Dossetti - who is said to be close to the male player's family - revealed that the Argentine superstar actually won this category. Not long after, Spain's Sport newspaper also confirmed that the information was true.

I'm not sure this record will be caught. 7 is an impressive number," the Argentine superstar said confidently.

And if he wins the title this time, Messi's record will be even rarer for anyone to have. The person ranked closest to him, Ronaldo, is also difficult to surpass because he was absent at this year's Golden Ball Awards, due to being outside the Top 30 candidates.

Notably, Messi receiving the 8th Golden Ball in his career is considered a scandal. Because, two players - Michail Antonio and Callum Wilson both spoke up that this year's title should be awarded to Erling Haaland, instead of the Argentine superstar.

Specifically, the West Ham striker said on Footballer's Football Podcast on October 25: "I understand that Messi winning the World Cup is a huge achievement, but you cannot ignore a team that won the treble and what Haaland did. contributed to that achievement, including breaking many records. He deserves the Golden Ball. If Messi wins, it will be a scandal."

Newcastle's Callum Wilson also shares the same thoughts as Michail Antonio. The English Premier League striker believes that, if one ignores the team-level tournament and looks purely at statistics, Haaland deserves to win the Golden Ball.

Wilson also expressed the opinion that Messi winning the World Cup should not be considered the main factor affecting the tournament, while the Argentine superstar himself is playing in the United States, a country with a much weaker football background than the tournament. Premier League in which Haaland is participating.
