<p>Inter Miami forward, Lionel Messi set at least four new records after winning the 2023 Ballon d’Or on Monday night.</p>
<p>Messi saw off competition from Erling Haaland and Kylian Mbappe to claim the prize in Paris.</p>
<p>The latest individual accolade means that the 36-year-old forward has now pulled three away from Cristiano Ronaldo as the record holder.</p>
<p>Messi is now officially the oldest player to win the Ballon d’Or in the modern era. The only person to have edged him in this regard is Sir Stanley Matthews – of ‘Matthews Cup final’ fame- who received the prize in 1956, at the age of 41.</p>
<p>The Argentina talisman is also the first player based outside of Europe to win the prize following his summer move to Inter Miami.</p>
<p>On top of this, he is the he first player to win the Ballon d’Or with three clubs, having reigned victorious at Barcelona and PSG previously.</p>
