Mac Allister makes bold claim: “Only he deserves the Ballon d’Or!”

Argentina national team midfielder Alexis Mac Allister has said that Inter Miami forward Lionel Messi deserves to win the Ballon d’Or.

TodayPress TV reports that he made the remarks in an interview with ESPN:

“Of course, as an Argentine, we would like Messi to win the Ballon d’Or. He had an incredible World Cup, and I see no reason why he should not receive this award. Obviously, statistics play a major role nowadays, although they were not as important in the past, and it is also impossible to know exactly how people will vote. However, all the nominees are outstanding players, and anyone who reaches this level deserves to win.

We all know that Leo has always put team success above individual achievements, so not winning would not be a major problem for him.”
