Ballon d’Or Odds: Lionel Messi Odds-on for Award
In 2022 Lionel Messi finally got his hands on a piece of silverware that had long eluded him, namely the World Cup. He looks likely to add to this achievement in 2023 by winning another Balloon d’Or.
Argentina’s Lionel Messi is rightly regarded as the world’s best player right now and his efforts in the 2022 World Cup helped his side clinch the World Cup for the first time since 1986. Thus far he has enjoyed a sensational career with numerous accolades to his name and he is firm odds-on favourite to add to this list by winning the 2023 Ballon d’Or.
No player has won as many Ballon d’Or awards as Messi – seven thus far – and it seems inevitable that he will take the prize this year after his exploits in Qatar where he scored six goals in the tournament.
The bookmaker odds on Messi claiming the 2023 Ballon d’Or have shortened since the World Cup and most firms now go around 2/7 on the PSG star. His perceived closest rival in the market at general odds of 7/2 is team-mate Kylian Mbappe who scored a hat-trick for France in the final of the competition, while current Premier League top-scorer Erling Haaland is an 8/1 shot to win the prize.
Elsewhere in the market, Kevin De Bruyne is as low as 22/1 to get his hands on the award while Robert Lewandowski, Mohamed Salah and Karim Benzema are priced at 28/1 apiece.
