This is how Messi, Benzema and the rest of the Ballon d’Or winners voted for Cuba

Days after the Ballon d’Or ceremony at the Chatelet Theater in Paris, the magazine France Football magazine revealed the votes for all the awards that make up the ceremony. Among them is the Copa Cup, which rewards the best under-21 player in the world and in which all Ballon d’Or winners participate to determine who, in their opinion, is the best young player.. Real Madrid’s Jude Bellingham won the final vote over Musiala and Pedri, thus succeeding last year’s winner, Javi.

Leo Messi, who was confirmed for the eighth time as the best player in the world, chose Musiala as the best young man, placing Pedri in second place, and winner Bellingham in third place.. Karim Benzema, winner of the 2022 Ballon d’Or, chose Eduardo Camavinga in first place, ahead of Pedri and Bellingham, second and third, respectively.

There was an expectation in turn to analyze the different votes for the other Ballon d’Or awards. Modric, for example, preferred to place Bellingham and Camavinga, his Real Madrid teammates, in first and second place, and gave third place to Gavi. For his part, Ronaldinho chose Bellingham as the best young man, Camavinga in second place, and finally Pedri. Who closed the platform.

Zinedine Zidane, one of the most anticipated votes, chose to give first place to Bellingham, second to Pedri and third to Camavinga. Igor Belanov, the 1986 Ballon d’Or winner, made one of the most interesting votes, selecting three Barcelona players in the top three positions, Gavi, Pedri and Balde, in that order. The 1969 winner, Gianni Rivera, was one of the few who dared to choose Xavi Simons, from Leipzig, among the top three, and ranked him, in his opinion, as the second best young player in the world.
