Amidst speculation linking him with a move to Chelsea, Barcelona star Lionel Messi last night finished 2nd in the Ballon d’Or main award.
His votes for Manager of the Year left plenty of Chelsea and Barcelona fans eyebrows raised.
Messi voted Argentina coach Alejandro Sabella first, Bayern coach Pep Guardiola 2nd and Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho 3rd.
The Argentine superstar has obvious ties with Sabella and Guardiola but has never played under Jose Mourinho.
Asked about his vote for Jose Mourinho afterwards, Messi said “Mourinho is a great coach. Whether you like him or not as a person, you have to recognise he’s a great coach”.
