Lionel Messi was crowned the FIFA’s Best Men’s Player of the Year, during the awards on Monday night.
Lionel Messi won the award, with Kylian Mbappe finishing behind him, and Karim Benzema ending up in 3rd place.
David Alaba sparked a controversy, after it was revealed that he voted for Messi in first place rather than teammate Benzema.
With Real Madrid fans blaming Alaba for voting Messi, the Austrian international revealed he was told by his federation to vote for Messi.
After the award night, Benzema posted a rather cryptic video on his Instagram story.
The video shows a man speaking at the camera, saying in French ‘Liar, yes, you Liar’, and Benzema captioned the post ‘good night’.
Many are now wondering if the message was targeted at the award or Alaba.
