Lionel Messi earns his 17th Ballon d'Or nomination, exactly 20 years after his first. So far, he has won IT HALF THE TIMES HE’S BEEN NOMINATED!
His great World Cup might not be enough to take home the award this time, but what insane longevity.
After missing out on the last two, and at 39 years old, you'd think we wouldn't see him here again... yet there he is once more. Mind-blowing🤯🐐
