Lionel Messi is the best sportsman of 2023, says the jury of the Laureus Awards. The Argentine captain of the Argentine National Team was the great figure in the evening in Paris.

Carlos Alcaraz, Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce and Christian Eriksen, among others, also won. It's the second time Messi, 35, has won a Laureus after the one he won in 2020. However, on that occasion, La Pulga shared the recognition with the British Formula 1 driver Lewis Hamilton.
