FIFA The Best: Leo Messi Won Despite Equal Votes With Haaland
On Monday night, Lionel Messi was awarded The Best FIFA Men’s Player prize, edging out Erling Haaland, even though both players received an equal number of votes.
The recipient of the award was determined by voting from media representatives, national team coaches, national team captains, and fans.
Messi and Haaland amassed 48 points each, but Messi emerged as the winner because he garnered more votes from national team captains compared to the Manchester City striker.
Haaland, on the other hand, received more votes from national team coaches and media, while Messi secured more votes from both captains and fans.
As per FIFA’s regulations, the tiebreaker for each award is specific to the category.
It’s worth noting that Messi previously outperformed Haaland to clinch the Ballon d’Or prize last year.
