Its down to him breaking his duck with Argentina earlier in the year. After years of floundering at the international level, Messi finally broke his barren run as he won the Copa America, an award which was set to see him become the recipient of his seventh Golden Ball.

While Bayern Munich’s Robert Lewandowski had a better season overall, Messi’s triumph with Argentina is said to sway the wind in his favour. And if reports are to believed, he has sealed the coveted prize for himself with leaked pictures surfacing online, ones which show Messi has won the marquee award.

The showpiece award which was cancelled last year owing to the COVID-19 pandemic was set to see Polish striker Lewandowksi take home the glistening trophy. Undeterred at being denied the prize, Lewandowksi, continued to pull his socks up with him hammering home a barrage of goals in the 2021 campaign as well.

Meanwhile, Messi has endured one of the worst ever starts to a season in 2021 with him yet to score or assist for PSG in his first five matches with the Ligue 1 side. Messi’s form has been so horrid that he was taken off at halftime during the club’s 2-1 win against Lille on Friday night, a substitution which worked in PSG’s favour.
