Although Leo Messi is still the favourite to claim the 2021 Ballon d’Or, according to bookies, there’s at least one thing that could shake his chances of winning a bit.
It’s the UEFA Nations League.
The point is that Italy will get the chance to win 2 international trophies in a single year – and so does Jorginho who’s said to be among the candidates to win the Ballon d’Or (as a reminder, he also won the Champions League with Chelsea).
N’Golo Kante won’t stand in Messi’s way as he’s missing the finals because of contracting the coronavirus.
Italy will face Spain on Wednesday (20:45 CET), Belgium will take on France on Thursday (20:45 CET).
