π¨π Leo Messi finished in the top five of the Ballon dβOr rankings in both 2007 and 2026β¦ 19 years apart. Nearly two decades at the very top. UNREAL LONGEVITY. π

Who else noticed Messi moved from 20th position to 3rd position in just a year. Unreal hardwork and dedication to make that jump.

Many in Europe football thought Messi was finished until they met him in Worcd Cup. He had to remind them who's the King.
