Ligue 1 has announced that Lionel Messi, aged 36, has been crowned as the Best Foreign Player of the Season. Despite his departure from Paris Saint-Germain, the legendary former forward showcased his immense talent throughout the 2022/23 season, scoring an impressive 16 goals and contributing 16 assists. 

Messi's tenure at PSG may have come to an end, but the accolades continue to pour in for the iconic veteran. Not only did he help secure two consecutive Ligue 1 titles during his time with Les Parisiens, but he has now been recognized as the league's top foreign player. Remarkably, Messi led the league in assists, with Neymar closely trailing him with 13. While several players outscored him, including Kylian Mbappé and Alexandre Lacazette, Messi's impact on the game remains unparalleled.
