The Super Ballon d’Or, an almost mythical trophy awarded only once in 1989 to Alfredo Di Stéfano, could make its grand return in 2029, exactly 40 years after its first edition.
The Ballon d’Or is awarded every year. The Super Ballon d’Or is much rarer. This award would recognize the best player of the last 40 years, a distinction even more rare and prestigious than the classic Ballon d’Or.
France Football has not made anything official, but speculation has been growing since a message from the Ballon d’Or account reignited the discussion. An analysis conducted via ChatGPT established a list of 10 potential candidates: Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo at the top, followed by Zidane, R9, Xavi, Iniesta, Ronaldinho, Mbappé, Modrić, and Lewandowski.
Who will be the true GOAT?
Di Stéfano remains to this day the sole holder of the Super Ballon d’Or—a trophy that was kept at the Bernabéu before being auctioned off in 2021.
And now, the question that ignites the football world: If the Super Ballon d’Or returns… who will be the true GOAT? Lionel Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo?
The votes, the numbers, and the emotions promise a debate that is already shaping up to be legendary.
