Lionel Messi was awarded the FIFA Ballon d'Or 2012?

Argentine sports daily Diario Ole has just made a shocking revelation when it published an image of the 2012 FIFA Ballon d'Or with the winner being Lionel Messi.

The photo clearly shows the positions of the three players in the race for this noble individual title. Cristiano Ronaldo's name is placed on the left, Andres Iniesta's on the right and in the middle, the largest plaque is engraved with Lionel Messi's name.

If this is true, the Argentine striker will be honored for the fourth consecutive time in the race for this year's most prestigious award.

However, this could also be a mistake as the person who made this trophy accidentally put Lionel Messi's name in the middle position - the position reserved for the winner.

But who knows, it might just be a sign of the results before the awards are officially announced on January 7 next year.

Less than a week ago, before the draw for the Champions League round of 16 by UEFA, Sky Sports News reported a draw result and said that this was a test draw result by UEFA to prepare for the official ceremony to take place smoothly.

Surprisingly, the results of this trial draw matched exactly to each match compared to the official results./.
