The latest award was decided through a vote of players who played at least 23 games between Dec. 19, 2022 (local time) and Aug. 20, 2023 (local time). The vote was attended by as many as 28,000 players from 69 countries. The main player was Messi. He was named the eighth FIFA player of the year in his career. Messi did not attend the ceremony due to his personal schedule. French legend Henri was the deputy winner.

At that time, Henri made a barking joke. After receiving the award, he said, “Unfortunately, the winner (Messi) is not here, so someone has to take the trophy. I’m here, so I’ll take it.”

“In fact, there are two reasons why I take the trophy. I’m taking it because I’ve never won this award,” he said, jokingly speaking to Leshmin Chouduri, who was next to him, “Aren’t you a Tottenham fan? I don’t usually have a chance to get a trophy, so I’ll take it. Thank you.”

Henri is a striker who will go down in French history. After playing for AS Monaco and Juventus, he was in full swing at Arsenal. Since joining Arsenal in the 1999/00 season, he won the Premier League, the English FA Cup and the English FA Community Shield.

Notably, Henri was a major contributor to Arsenal’s unbeaten win of the PL in the 2003/04 season. He scored 30 goals and six assists in 37 matches to win the PL top scorer and the player of the year. He stood tall as the best striker in Europe by winning the European Golden Shoe.

Henri played 377 games as a member of Arsenal, scoring 228 goals and 103 assists. As he mentioned, Arsenal’s rival Tottenham didn’t win the title in the PL. Its last record was the 2007/08 English Football League Cup.
