Ballon d'Or: Nigerian journalist votes Messi and Haaland over Osimhen
Osimhen might have achieved Nigeria’s highest-ever finish in the Ballon d’Or ranking, but even his countryman does not believe he is better than Haaland.
Haaland accepts Drogba’s challenge
The Norwegian disappointedly missed out on the Ballon d’Or by a place, coming second to Lionel Messi. Still, he was awarded the Gerd Muller Trophy for being the most prolific striker of the season.
He was presented the award by legendary England striker Gary Lineker, and while on stage, Drogba, who was the MC on the night, gave Haaland an interesting challenge.
)
“For your next goal, I challenge you: you have to choose between the Didier Drogba celebration and the Gary Lineker celebration,” he told Haaland.
The striker obliged but kept his cards close to his chest, on whose celebration he would attempt. Haaland did not score in the next game he played after the clash, the 6-1 thrashing of Bournemouth, but was on target in the romping of Young Boys and proceeded to do the ‘Drogba’ after the penalty that resulted in his first goal.
