The Barcelona coach, Ernesto Valverde, said he was surprised that Argentine Lionel Messi was out of competition for the Golden Ball 2018.
Several press articles indicated that Messi had been excluded from the final list of the Golden Ball competition.
"Excluding Messi from the final list of the Golden Ball competition has surprised us all, just like football fans, because it's the best in the world," said Valverde at the Villarreal press conference Sunday night.
The French Football Festival will take place next Monday to select the best player in the world.
"It's as surprising as anyone else, because Messi in the Champions League has achieved an excellent level in the first, second and fifth rounds and has been the best player of all clubs . "
Sevilla leads the Spanish standings with 26 points, one point behind Barcelona and Villarreal with 17 points.
