Lionel Messi won his eighth Ballon d’Or and, in this way, consolidates himself as the top winner of the individual trophy. However, not everything was happiness and celebration for the Argentine, because hours after the gala, he surprised with a publication on his official Instagram account.
“Joan Laporta and Leo Messi spoke at the end of the Ballon d’Or gala. The president thanked Leo for his words during the speech and they met to find the best possible date for the tribute,” indicated the Jijantes account, a media outlet that directed by streamer and journalist Gerard Romero.
The possible rapprochement between Lionel Messi and Joan Laporta caused a stir among Barcelona fans, due to rumors of a tribute from the institution to the star who now plays for Inter Miami.
Just minutes after the publication, the ‘Flea’ through Instagram was blunt and denied it: “You lie… once again…”, accompanied by an emoji with a long nose, in clear allusion to Pinocchio.
