FIFA World Cup 2022: Golden Ball, Boot & Glove – Full list of Individual Award Winners | Football News – Times of India
Lionel Messi has attained immortality. Argentina have ended a 36 year wait for the FIFA World Cup trophy. Messi’s World Cup journey has had a fairytale ending.
In 2014, when Messi was awarded the Golden Ball for the Player of the Tournament, after Argentina went down to Germany in the final of the World Cup, many thought it was more of a consolation prize for a man who is tagged as the best player in the world and one who was left heartbroken. One school of thought was that Messi did not deserve the award. He scored 4 goals in that edition, but none in the knockouts.
This time in Qatar, not too many can question the decision to give the prize for the best player of the tournament to the ‘little magician’. Messi became the first player ever to score in every round of the World Cup – from the group stage to the final.
