Norway head coach Stale Solbakken has explained why he believes compatriot Erling Haaland should not win the Ballon d'Or this year.
:"If you ask me who I think will win, I will say Messi will win it thanks to his World Cup triumph. It still has an impact."Messi is the heavy favourite to lift the award for a seventh time as a result of his aforementioned exploits with Argentina.
The 36-year-old ticked the final item off his footballing checklist, at least in terms of trophies, before joining MLS franchise Inter Miami this summer., with many believing that achievement alone should secure him the Ballon d'Or. Not everyone agrees, though.
