Lionel Messi says that "it's a shame" to see Sadio Mane finish fourth in the Ballon D'Or list.
The Barcelona star won the award for a record of sixth time as Liverpool star finished 4th, behind Virgil van Dijk and Cristiano Ronaldo.
Messi told Canal+: "It’s a shame to see Mane finish in fourth place.
"But I think there have been a lot of great players this year. That’s why it was difficult to choose a particular player. But I chose Sadio Mane because he’s a player that I like.
"Mane achieved a great year that was exceptional for the entire Liverpool team. That’s why I chose him. I repeat, there were a lot of very great players this year, so the choice was difficult."
