PSG or Barcelona Star? Journalist Reveals Potential Lionel Messi Stance for Ballon d’Or

Despite the turnover in players, there are a few players on the current PSG squad that have played with Messi, one being Ousmane Dembélé during his time at Barcelona. Moreover, the two remain close friends, but L’Equipe’s Loïc Tanzi states whether the Argentine will support Dembélé in the player’s push to win the Ballon d’Or.

“Messi and Dembélé are very close friends,” Tanzi said (via Le10port). “They still talk. Messi had deep respect for Dembélé. He always felt he was an extraordinary player, capable of playing alongside him and making him shine… Today, I’m not sure Messi would choose Yamal for the Ballon d’Or.”
