Just like in the World Cup final, Paris Saint-Germain teammates Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappe go up against one another for The Best FIFA Men’s Player prize for 2022 on Monday, with Ballon d’Or Karim Benzema the other contender.

Paris Saint-Germain’s French forward Kylian Mbappe controls the ball past teammate Lionel Messi during the French L1 football match between Paris Saint-Germain and Lille LOSC at The Parc des Princes Stadium in Paris on February 19, 2023.

Messi has won the Ballon d’Or seven times and claimed the FIFA award -– inaugurated in 2016 following FIFA’s split with Ballon d’Or organizers France Football –- once in 2019. Mbappe became the first player to score a World Cup final hat-trick since Geoff Hurst in 1966 as he dragged France to a 3-3 draw after extra time –- despite two goals by Messi — before they eventually succumbed in a shoot-out.

Dutchman Gullit was speaking in his role as a member of the Laureus Academy, which recently included Mbappe and Messi among the nominees for their own awards. The Real Madrid striker, now 35, scored 44 goals in 46 games for his club last season, inspiring them to glory in the Champions League and La Liga.“I am really, really proud of my journey,” he declared after claiming the Ballon d’Or.
