Didier Drogba Drops Clues About Ballon d’Or Winner Upon His Arrival in Paris for the Gala

The excitement around the upcoming Ballon d’Or ceremony is growing as fans and experts speculate about the potential winner. Didier Drogba, who is set to present the award, provided some intriguing hints during a brief speech.

Drogba shared his message from Paris, saying, “Good afternoon everyone, I’m Didier Drogba here in Paris.”

In his message, Drogba referenced two significant events, sparking curiosity among fans. He stated, “And on Monday we’re going to present the 67th ceremony of the Ballon d’Or France Football. And we are going to talk about the last two World Cups. We are going to talk about the treble of Manchester City.”

The reference to the “last two World Cups” likely alludes to the 2022 FIFA World Cup for the men, won by Argentina with Lionel Messi leading the way, and the FIFA Women’s World Cup held in Australia and New Zealand, which saw Spain’s women’s national team emerge as champions.

On the other hand, Drogba’s mention of the “treble of Manchester City” has left fans guessing. Many believe it could be a hint at Erling Haaland’s remarkable impact on the Premier League and the impressive season Manchester City had.

However, despite these hints, the consensus among most fans and experts remains that Lionel Messi is the frontrunner for the 2023 Ballon d’Or, given his spectacular performances and achievements during the year. The anticipation continues to build as the world awaits the official announcement of the Ballon d’Or winner.
