A golden ball with shining crystals

The legendary Alfredo Di Stéfano won the award, beating out Michel Platini and Johan Cruyff in the voting. Only players from Europe were eligible for the award, and Di Stéfano was nominated because he is a citizen of Spain. France Football, a French publication, has only been given the award once.

The Super Ballon d'Or has only ever been won once, by Di Stéfano. Amid Real Madrid's dominance in the 1950s, the Real Madrid legend also took home the actual Ballon d'Or award twice, in 1957 and 1959. Also, between 1956 and 1960, Di Stéfano assisted Madrid in capturing the first five consecutive European Cups.

Once upon a time in the world of football, anticipation and excitement filled the air as the Super Ballon d'Or ceremony approached. The prestigious award, given to the best footballer in the world, had always been a topic of great debate and speculation among fans, players, and pundits alike.

The contenders for the Super Ballon d'Or were a formidable group of footballing titans. Among them were Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi, Kylian Mbappé, Robert Lewandowski, and Mohamed Salah, all having had exceptional seasons with their respective clubs. Each player possessed unique qualities and had mesmerized audiences around the globe with their skill, goals, and overall brilliance on the pitch.

As the date of the ceremony neared, the footballing world held its breath in anticipation. Fans across the globe passionately defended their favorite players, engaging in heated debates about who deserved the coveted accolade. Pundits analyzed the players' statistics, impact on their teams, and performances in crucial matches to make their predictions.

Finally, the day arrived for the Super Ballon d'Or ceremony. Footballers, coaches, journalists, and football enthusiasts from all corners of the world gathered at a grand venue to witness the crowning of the world's best player.

As the ceremony commenced, the tension in the room was palpable. The awards for various categories were announced, recognizing outstanding achievements in different aspects of the game. The atmosphere was electric, building up to the climax—the announcement of the Super Ballon d'Or winner.

The moment arrived, and the presenter took to the stage, holding an envelope containing the name of the player who would be crowned the best footballer on the planet. Suspense filled the room as the presenter opened the envelope, and with bated breath, they announced, "The winner of the Super Ballon d'Or 2023 is..."

The room fell into silence as everyone eagerly awaited the revelation. The name that escaped the presenter's lips was Lionel Messi.

A wave of emotions washed over the audience. Some erupted into applause and cheers, acknowledging Messi's undeniable brilliance, while others expressed disappointment on behalf of their favorite players. Messi, known for his extraordinary talent, skill, and consistency, had once again etched his name in footballing history.

Lionel Messi stepped onto the stage, a mixture of humility and pride evident in his eyes. He graciously accepted the award, thanking his teammates, coaches, and fans for their unwavering support. Messi spoke of the passion and dedication that had driven him throughout his career, expressing his gratitude for the opportunity to represent the beautiful game.

The footballing world continued to debate the outcome, with supporters of other players discussing their own arguments and reasoning. But one thing was certain—Lionel Messi had triumphed once more, leaving an indelible mark on the world of football.

As the night drew to a close, the Super Ballon d'Or ceremony concluded with a sense of awe and admiration for all the nominees. The footballing world looked forward to the next season, eagerly anticipating new stars to rise, records to be broken, and the timeless debate of who would win the next Super Ballon d'Or.
