Although he asserts on every occasion that he has achieved everything in football, the reality is that there is one award that Lionel Messi has not succeeded in achieving throughout his career.
Messi won the Ballon d’Or 8 times and the FIFA Best of the Year award 3 times, as well as many individual and team achievements that make him one of the greatest football players of all time.
But the newspaper “Sport” revealed that there is one major award that escaped the flea, and the talk here is about the Puskas Award for the best goal of the year.
Although Messi scored 826 goals in his career, many of which were extraordinary by all standards, this did not allow him to win the Puskas Award over a period of nearly 15 years.
Perhaps this award is one of the few in which Cristiano Ronaldo surpasses Messi, after “The Don” won it in the 2008/2009 season for his goal against Porto, when he was a Manchester United player, thanks to his extraordinary shot at the time.
Logically, there is a chance that Messi will be crowned Puskas, as the 36-year-old does not stop spreading his magic in the American League and with the Argentine national team, and he is expected to score wonderful goals as always, and this time he may enter the competition for the only award that he did not win.
