Cristiano Ronaldo has officially been crowned the winner of the inaugural B.O.A.T. (Ballon d'Or of All Time) award following a global fan vote. The legendary Portuguese forward saw his iconic 2008 campaign at Manchester United recognized as the greatest individual year in the history of the prestigious trophy.

Lionel Messi has once again proven that class is permanent after securing a stunning fifth-place finish in the 2026 Ballon d’Or rankings. Despite playing his football in Major League Soccer with Inter Miami, the legendary Argentine outperformed a host of elite European stars to remain among the world's top five players.

With the playoff race tightening, there were some significant results across MLS.

Lionel Messi saw his impressive streak of goal contributions come to an end after a substitute appearance in Inter Miami's 2-0 defeat to Red Bull New York. Manager Kily Gonzalez revealed the Argentine was benched as a precaution following a hectic travel schedule to Spain.
