Summary
The Golden Ball, soccer’s most coveted individual World Cup honor, has crowned legends like Pelé and Maradona—and this year, Lionel Messi is once again in the running, chasing his third title. From Paolo Rossi’s 1982 heroics to Oliver Kahn’s goalkeeper miracle in 2002, the award has seen wild twists, including Zidane’s controversial win in 2006. Argentina leads with three wins, thanks to Maradona and Messi, while Brazil and Italy each have two. Who will take home the trophy when the dust settles?
