Lionel Messi received a heartwarming welcome from his Inter Miami teammates following his return from Paris after winning his eight Ballon d'Or title.
The Argentina star beat off competition from Manchester City forward Erling Haaland and former Paris Saint-Germain teammate, Kylian Mbappe, to win the 2023 award.
Messi's inspiring role in leading Argentina to the 2022 FIFA World Cup gave him the edge over his rivals at the ceremony at the Theatre du Chatete.
In a video shared on social media, Messi was welcomed by his teammates with a beautifully carved placard of eight, with the signatures of the players.
