“If I’m honest, I don’t think so,” Messi told SPORT who asked him whether he sees himself as the potential winner of the Ballon d’Or this year.

“My biggest prize was what I was able to achieve with the national team. After having fought and fought so much for that achievement, it was the best for all it cost.

“If the Golden Ball arrives, it would be extraordinary for what it would mean winning one more. The seventh would be crazy.

“If not, nothing happens. I have already achieved one of my great goals. I am very happy for what happened and now that whatever has to happen happens,” La Pulga concluded.
