Lionel Messi is ageing like fine wine. Even at 36, to many, he is still the world’s best player and the recent Ballon d’Or serves as proof.
The accolades keep piling for the Inter Miami ace, who was recently selected in the IFFHS World XI. On this note, Messi has made it into the IFFHS Conmebol team of 2023, based on the best South American Players. The Argentine is also joined by some of his national teammates.
Following their World Cup victory, Argentina had a stunning 2023. They lost just 1 game all year while beating Brazil on their home turf.
Lionel Messi & 5 other La Albiceleste teammates in the IFFHS Conmbol Team of 2023
IFFHS has released their list of the best South American players for 2023, with the list boasting a major Argentine presence. Brazilian Goalkeeper Ederson is the man in the sticks while the 3-man defence features Nicolas Otamendi, Cristiano Romero & Ronald Araujo.
The midfield has an interesting selection, with Alexis Macallister and Frederico Valverde joined by Lionel Messi. A right-winger by trade, the inclusion of Messi as a midfielder is quite surprising. However, it has to be noted that Messi drops deep a lot more now and plays similarly to an attacking midfielder rather than an orthodox winger.
The 4-man attack features Darwin Nunez & Vinicius Junior on the flanks. German Cano & Lautaro Martinez are the chosen centre-forwards.
