JAKARTA Argentina national team player Lionel Messi has the support of winning the rare Super Ballon d'Or award after winning the Qatar 2022 World Cup.
In history, the only player who has ever won this award is Argentine Real Madrid legend Alfredo Di Stefano.
Di Stefano won this rare award on December 24, 1989 on his 30th anniversary of France Football Magazine as the awarder of the Ballon d'Or.
He won the award after defeating two European big names Michel Platini and Johan Cruyff in the vote.
Actually, only players from Europe are entitled to the award. However, Di Stefano was nominated because he was a Spanish citizen.
The Super Ballon d'Or was won at Stefano amid Real Madrid's dominance in the 1950s. Prior to being awarded the award, the legend had already brought home the Ballon d'Or awards in 1957 and 1959.
Di Stefano is a player who helped Los Blancos between 1956 and 1960 to lift the European Cup (now European Champions League) trophy five times in a row.
Despite players from outside Europe, Messi now has the support to follow in his predecessor's footsteps due to his collection of titles in his extraordinary career journey.
The World Cup trophy that Messi and Argentina have just won is the culmination of his achievements. Therefore, he is considered worthy of receiving this award.
