FIFA announced the three finalists for 'The Best' for the best player in the world in 2022. After winning the World Cup in Qatar, being the main figure of the Argentine team, Lionel Messi is among the three candidates along with Kylian Mbappé and Karim Benzema, who reacted immediately to the nomination.

As was logical, the top winner of the Ballon d'Or (7) was among the finalists for the best player of the previous year. The 'Flea' was key to the title of the Albiceleste in the Middle East. In addition, he started the season with PSG in spectacular fashion and won the French Super Cup. The Argentina captain will compete for the prize with Mbappé and Benzema.
