The moment Lionel Messi arrived at the venue of the 2023 Ballon d’Or award ceremony in Paris, France has been captured on camera.
Messi arrived with his wife, Antonella and their three kids.
It is the first time Messi has returned to the city after leaving Paris Saint-Germain as a free agent in the summer.
The 36-year-old is widely expected to win the men’s award ahead of PSG’s Kylian Mbappe and Manchester City’s Erling Haaland.
This will make him the footballer with the most Ballon d’Ors, as it would be the eighth time he is taking it home.
His nearest rival is Cristiano Ronaldo who has five.
