Will there be a new winner of the Super Ballon d'Or.
French Football, which hosts the Ballon d'Or, recently left a significant post on social media. 'Super Ballon d'Or, which no one has had since a player received it in 1989. If presented again today, who is most qualified?'
The Ballon d'Or is an award given to the best player in the world. It is an award given to a player who has performed best in a season, and it is also the most honorable award you can receive as a player. The trophy is called the "Golden Ball" because it is in the form of a golden ball. Despite the recent controversy over the award criteria, Ballon d'Or's status is still great.
It was once combined with the FIFA Player of the Year award, but it is now separated again. Recently, Man City and Spain's engine Rodri won the Ballon d'Or. The Ballon d'Or is decided by a vote of journalists from each country.

This great Ballon d'Or has been upgraded. It's the Super Ballon d'Or. France Football selected the best player in European football in 1989, beating Johan Cruafi, Michel Platini and Franz Beckenbauer, with Alfredo D'Stepano. France Football awarded the Super Ballon d'Or in honor of d'Stepano's achievements.
There have been no Super Ballon d'Or winners since then. Lionel Messi was mentioned, but France Football did not move. Once again, French Football is talking about 'Super Ballon d'Or', drawing attention to whether a new winner will come out in 36 years.
If the winner is decided, Messi is also likely. Messi has won a total of eight Ballon d'Or awards so far. It's the most awards ever. He is far ahead of second-place Cristiano Ronaldo (five times). It was also observed that Messi could receive the 'Super Ballon d'Or' at the time of the last eight awards. As much as he wrote a legend, he is second to none as a winner.

Ronaldo also achieved a feat that could be mentioned as a candidate for the Super Ballon d'Or, but he is likely to be excluded as he has recently conducted several interviews showing skepticism about the Ballon d'Or.
