MIAMI – Inter Miami’s Lionel Messi gained a file-extending eighth Ballon d’Or on Monday. The annual soccer awards celebrate the very best players in the video game.

The former Barcelona star topped the voting in advance of Manchester City striker Erling Haaland and Messi’s former Paris Saint-Germain teammate, Kylian Mbappé.
Inter Miami’s section operator David Beckham introduced the award. He promised a social gathering in Miami.
