Jorginho admitted Messi should win the Ballon d’Or, claims Cassano

Jorginho has privately admitted that Lionel Messi should win the Ballon d’Or despite some media claiming the Italian should win this year’s edition. That’s according to former Italian international and Real Madrid player Antonio Cassano.

Messi is seen as the favorite for the award for his exploits with FC Barcelona and Argentina, plus what’s to come since his transfer to Paris Saint-Germain.

Speaking to Bobo TV, Cassano recalled a chance meeting with Jorginho, fresh off a stellar season in which he won the UEFA Champions League with Chelsea and Euro 2021 with Italy.
