As Argentina’s national team captain, Messi was also given the responsibility of selecting the winner.
He placed Barcelona’s 17-year-old sensation, Lamine Yamal, at the top of his list, followed by his former PSG teammate, Kylian Mbappe, in second place.
Interestingly, Messi included Vinicius, the eventual winner, in his third spot but left out Rodri entirely from his list.
