PHOTOS: All Ballon d’Or 2023 Winners List in Pictures

Aitana Bonmatí and Lionel Messi have been named the 2023 Ballon d’Or winners at the annual football awards ceremony in Paris.

Bonmatí was widely considered the favourite after being named player of the tournament as Spain won their first World Cup and she was part of the Barcelona Femení team that won the continental treble, scoring 118 goals and conceding just 10 in the league.

 Bonmatí beat Chelsea and Australia striker Sam Kerr into second place, with her Spain and Barcelona team-mate Salma Paralluelo coming third.

Messi’s World Cup‑winning campaign with Argentina made him the favourite and he was on hand to receive his record eighth award and paid heartiest tribute on the 63rd birthday of the legendary compatriot Diego Maradona.
