In a Ligue 1 feast at dawn on Monday (27), the
Paris Saint Germain
(PSG) swept Marseille 3-0 away from home, with Argentine soccer legend Mes unlocking his 700th goal for the club with a goal and two assists. The FIFA awards ceremony kicks off in Paris in the early hours of Tuesday morning (28th), and according to insiders, Mez will undoubtedly win the honor of World Footballer of the Year (best men's player).
Despite Nyima's serious injury, PSG were able to take the game by storm thanks to the firepower of Mace and Kilian McBarbie. McBarbee opened the scoring on 25 minutes with a direct ball from Mace, and then four minutes later, he made it easy for Mace with a sublime assist. In the 55th minute, Mace scored again with an assist from McBarbee, and the two soccer superstars combined to give PSG a 3-0 win.
Mez's goal was his 28th for PSG and, together with his previous 672 at Barcelona, took his club career total to 700, making him only the second player in history, after Cairo, to reach this milestone. The annual FIFA awards ceremony will be held on Tuesday, and it is understood that Mays will take home the World Footballer of the Year trophy for the seventh time by a wide margin, while the other two candidates are McBarbie and Benzema.
The 35-year-old has won the World Footballer of the Year six times, including the first time in 2009, four times after it was merged with the Ballon d'Or from 2010 to 2015, and once more in 2019 after it was awarded independently. After winning the World Cup in Qatar, he was dubbed "The King" and this year's World Footballer of the Year honor is well-deserved for him.
The competition for the best coach award is fierce, with the final battle between Scarloni, Carlo Ancelotti and Pep Guardiola. Scarrani, who led Argentina to the World Cup title in Qatar, is also looking forward to taking home the honor for the first time.
After Mez and Scaloni, another Argentine player is expected to win the award, goalkeeper Damian Martinez. Facing challenges from Thiago Silva and Yair Sinephenu, Martinez, whose popularity has soared after the World Cup, is expected to win another award for Argentina.
Other awards include Miss World Soccer, Best Goalkeeper in Women's Soccer, Best Coach in Women's Soccer, Puskas Award, Best Fan, Best Men's Soccer Team, and Best Women's Soccer Team.
