Messi beats Mbappe, Benzema to Best FIFA Men’s Player award

Argentina captain, Lionel Messi won this year’s Best FIFA Men’s Player award at a ceremony in Paris on Monday.

Messi beat Paris Saint-Germain team-mate Kylian Mbappe and Real Madrid captain, Karim Benzema, to the prize.

The 35-year-old won the 2022 World Cup with his country in December, finally getting to lift the only major honour he hasn’t won in his career.

“It’s amazing. It was a tremendous year and it is an honour for me to be here tonight and win this award,” Messi said.
