Ballon d'Or: Mbappe or Haaland deserves the award not Messi — Juventus star

According to France's Adrien Rabiot, Kylian Mbappe or triple-champion Erling Haaland should have received the Ballon d'Or instead of Lionel Messi. Adrien Rabiot, a midfielder for Juventus, feels that instead of the presumptive winner Lionel Messi, either Kylian Mbappe or Erling Haaland should take home the Ballon d'Or. Rabiot, 28, is a member of the France national team and had a part in the 2022 World Cup final, which Argentina won and gave Messi the lead for the award. The former Paris Saint-Germain midfielder thinks there are some players who are more deserved, though.
