Argentine superstar Lionel Messi has won a record eight Ballon d'Or trophies. However, several of those wins have been embroiled in a number of controversies of different forms. The latest issue that has come to the surface is the alleged involvement of Ligue 1 side Paris Saint-Germain FC (PSG) in influencing the results of the 2021 edition of the award.
It may be remembered that Messi won his seventh Ballon d'Or trophy back in 2021. For those unaware, the award is handed out in a ceremony hosted by France Football usually around November of each year.
