Lionel Messi was named Laureus World Sportsman of the Year at the prestigious 2023 Laureus World Sports Awards were staged in Paris on Monday.
The Paris St Germain forward was a joint winner of the award in 2020 alongside Lewis Hamilton, but he took sole honours this time after leading Argentina to World Cup glory last year.
Messi won the World Cup for the first time in his glittering career in Qatar, earning the Golden Ball as the tournament’s best player in the process, and on Monday he also collected the Laureus prize for Team of the Year on behalf of the triumphant Argentina squad.
Jamaican sprinter Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce scooped World Sportswoman of the Year after winning a record fifth 100m gold at the World Championships in 2022.
Manchester United and Denmark midfielder Christian Eriksen won Comeback of the Year following his return to football after collapsing on the pitch during Euro 2020, while tennis world number two Carlos Alcaraz was awarded World Breakthrough of the Year.
The award winners were voted for by the sporting greats who make up the members of the Laureus Academy.

Daqui uns anos passando no canal H2, Lionel Messi em: Alienigenas do passado!๐ฝ
Everybody in the world love Messiโฝ๏ธ๐ฅ๐ except for a few Camels who prefer ronaldo๐จ
Eriksen is one of the best playmakers if not the best, he is so underrated. I think heยดs still up there with De Bruyne, and if he didn't get injured this season, he would have battled De Bruyne, like he did when he was in spurs. Actually he was in front of De Bruyne back then, and De Bruyne himself said, that he hoped to be compared to him.
The greatest showman on earth.
messi winning everything, in and against france
So happy to see Messi! ๐๐๐

I think we should do our bid and start to Unfollow PSG on Everything… Everyone posted something about Messi winning this award except for PSG… the way they disrespected Messi is so naive …. Lets just Unfollow them … And make them feel the heat for disrespecting MESSI….
Francia y Espaรฑa llorando ๐๐๐ Leo se merece lo mejos del mundo. Y cada premio lo demuestea.
Sorry PSG ๐๐๐

Leo is a football messenger, his massage will be forever in football history till the end of the world. I love this messenger and I believe in him.
