The Best FIFA Football Awards 2022 will occur on February 28. Meanwhile, reports suggest that the result of the winner has been leaked. Check out of the winner is Lionel Messi, Kylian Mbappe and Karim Benzema.
The first significant football award of the year will be The Best FIFA Football Awards 2022, which will take place in Paris on Tuesday. As for the standout men's player of the year award, Lionel Messi, Kylian Mbappe and Karim Benzema are the three shortlisted players among the finalists. Most fans desperately hope for the former to take it home.
Argentine superstar Messi has been phenomenal for French champion Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) this season. At the same time, he continued the same momentum with Argentina in the FIFA World Cup 2022 in Qatar, where he helped his side win its third global title and the first of his exemplary career, thus making him an outright favourite to win The Best award over Kylian Mbappe, who finished as the tournament's highest goal-scorer.
As for Benzema, he won the Ballon d'Or honour last year for his superb performance throughout the years, where he helped Real Madrid win both La Liga and the UEFA Champions League (UCL) before unfortunately missing out on the World Cup with an injury.
In the meantime, Argentine journalist Francesc Aguilar has seemingly leaked the winners of The Best award for this year, claiming that Messi will be taking home his second honour under the revamped name. He also claimed that the International Federation of Association Football (FIFA) wanted to remind the organisers that it did not nominate Messi for the previous year's recognition.
