World Cup winner Lionel Messi, Kylian Mbappe and Karim Benzema were announced Friday as the three finalists for FIFA’s The Best award for last year.
After making public other nominees in the other categories
over the past few days, the world football governing body has revealed the
three players in the running for The Best FIFA Men’s Player Award.
The three finalists in the fierce contest for one of the
most prestigious awards in football this year are Lionel Messi, Kylian Mbappe,
and Karim Benzema. These three players have had an incredible season with their
respective clubs and countries.
Messi has been an absolute standout for Argentina, with his
exploit culminating in winning the 2022 World Cup where he was also voted as
Most Valuable Player.
Also, with PSG, Messi has consistently delivered exceptional
performances, scoring goals and providing crucial assists week in and week out.
Kylian Mbappe has been pivotal for Paris Saint-Germain’s
journey in the French League and the Champions League, playing an instrumental
role in their success; arguably more than Messi.
His stunning performances also contributed to France going
all the way to the final of the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, where he emerged as
the top scorer.
Karim Benzema has been a key figure for Real Madrid in both
the La Liga and Champions League in the period under review.
His leadership and consistency on the pitch are crucial for
their success.
Despite missing the Qatar World Cup, his outstanding form
earned him his first Ballon d’Or in 2022.
It will be interesting to see who will be crowned “The Best
FIFA Men’s Player of 2023” among the three finalists, who are all deserving of
the award.
