BUENOS AIRES (ARGENTINA) (ITALPRESS) – Lionel Messi will not be in London tonight for the 2026 Ballon d’Or ceremony. The 39-year-old Argentine superstar is certain to be among the top ten, but he has opted to remain in Miami. While this could be a sign that he will not be receiving the ninth Ballon d’Or of his career, his decision was also influenced by the extensive travel he has undertaken in recent days: on Friday—as noted by “La Nacion”—he was in Oviedo to receive the Princess of Asturias Award; he then flew to New York for a league match against the Red Bulls, before returning to Miami for the presentation of the second edition of the Messi Cup. Furthermore, Inter Miami has an MLS match scheduled for Wednesday against Cincinnati.
