Former England footballer David Beckham said Argentine footballer Lionel Messi should win the 2026 Ballon d’Or. "You've got great players there like Harry Kane, like Kylian [Mbappe], like Jude Bellingham and other players there, but you know when you're talking about Leo, I'm his biggest supporter," he added.
