The Super Ballon d’Or’s most probable winner has been announced

There are specific dates that have been linked to reports about a supposed Super Ballon d’Or Award Ceremony for Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi. 

All the details have been revealed for the 2025 Ballon d’Or. Rodri’s heirs are closely monitoring the situation in Paris.

Nominations will begin to be announced on August 13th. All of this will be accompanied by a general presentation on September 22nd, in Paris, of the 13 Awards conceived by UEFA’s alliance with France Football. Everything will continue to take place at the Théâtre du Chatelet, which has become the home of an awards ceremony that has been fraught with controversy and unexpected twists in the fight for the trophy in recent years. 

One Super Ballon d’Or was awarded

It’s only a few hours since the prizes themselves were discussed in relation to the Super Ball and Ballon d’Or.

Super Ballon d’Or is a special award that was only presented once, in 1989. According to history, it was awarded to the best player of the past three decades. 

Alfredo Di Stéfano is, to date, the only player to have touched the trophy, a fact that has been debated on France Football’s social media channels in recent hours. Messi or Cristiano Cristiano have of course been at the center of attention.

“A Ballon d’Or that is unlike any other. A player won the Super Ballon d’Or in 1989. No one had ever received this trophy before. Who was he, though? And if it were awarded again today… Who would deserve it?” Read the social media post that caused controversy.

The award was presented in 1989

The award was given only once, on December 24th 1989. The sole intention of the magazine responsible for delivering the prize was to honour Di Stéfano’s career and his impact on the history of European football.

Only time can tell. In recent years, there have been rumours about the possibility of a Super Ballon d’Or gala in 2029. Cristiano Ronaldo or Messi are the frontrunners. 

In the Ballon d’Or, the Argentine has an eight-to-five lead over the Portuguese. The football world will be looking forward to the 22nd of September, when Rodri, Manchester City’s Rodri, is expected to give birth to an heir. Thirteen awards are up for grabs.

Ronaldo is the only player to have scored 938 goals in his career for both his club and country’s national side. He is also among the rare players to have appeared in over 1,250 professional games. Ronaldo’s career has seen him win 34 senior trophies.

Messi has 865 goals in his career for both club and nation, including 1,106 appearances. He is also only the fifth and sixth player in history who has won both five and six European Golden Shoes. In his career as a footballer, he has won a total of 45 trophies.

Who was it that I chose?

Will a Super Ballon d’Or finally settle the age-old debate of who the greatest footballer ever was? Marca says that we should first consider the fact there are more players on the list than these two. Rodri Hernández, Karim Bézema, Luka modric, Kaka or Fabio Cannavaro, as well as Ronaldinho, deserve to be included on the finalist list.

Grok chose Lionel Messi to be the winner over Cristiano Ronaldo. ChatGPT also chose Lionel, and said the dark horses would be Cristiano, then Zidane or Ronaldinho, and lastly, Pelé or Maradona. Whom do you think should win? Please leave a comment below.
