Specifically, Messi won the majority of votes with 462 points, while Haaland had 357 points. Third-placed Mbappe had 270 points, while fourth-placed Kevin De Bruyne had only 100 points. The next players in the top 10 were Rodri (57 points), Vinicius (49 points), Julian Alvarez (28 points), Victor Osimhen (24 points), Bernardo Silva (20 points) and Luka Modric (19 points).
Messi (left) won the Golden Ball for the 8th time very convincingly.
Of the 100 countries whose representatives voted for the 2023 Ballon d'Or, corresponding to the position of the national team on the FIFA rankings, only about 20 representatives voted for Haaland. The rest voted for Messi. A representative from Portugal voted for midfielder Bernardo Silva (Man City) to win the Ballon d'Or.
With the announcement of the votes by France Football magazine, the debate between Messi and Haaland, who is more worthy of winning the 2023 Ballon d'Or, seems to have ended.
Ballon d'Or 2023 voting points
At the same time, the Union of European Football Associations (UEFA) announced a partnership with media conglomerate Groupe Amaury, which owns France Football and L'Équipe magazines, to co-organize the Ballon d'Or voting and awarding ceremony from 2024.
The structure of the Ballon d'Or awards remains the same, but two new awards for the best male and female coach of the year have been added. This also means that UEFA will no longer hand out its annual awards in August, as they will be officially merged into France Football 's Ballon d'Or.
This is the second time France Football has merged to award the Golden Ball award after collaborating with the World Football Federation (FIFA) from 2010 to 2015.
