Ballon d’Or 2026: ‘There’s no outright favourite, give it to Messi’ – Arshavin tells organisers

Former Arsenal player Andrey Arshavin has said that Lionel Messi merits the 2026 Ballon d’Or award. The Russian contended that no clear favourite exists for this prestigious individual accolade and maintained that the Argentina captain should receive the honour based on his performances during the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Arshavin’s position diverges from the prevailing discourse established by Lamine Yamal and Kylian Mbappe regarding the 2026 Ballon d’Or competition. Barcelona’s Yamal has publicly declared that he deserves the award over Mbappe due to the trophies he secured during the previous season. Mbappe, conversely, has referenced his goal-scoring record as justification for why he should claim the Ballon d’Or ahead of Yamal. The French forward did not secure a trophy during the previous season; however, he achieved top scorer status in La Liga, the Champions League, and the FIFA World Cup. England captain, Harry Kane, is an additional formidable contender following his achievement of scoring the highest number of goals across Europe last season. Nevertheless, Arshavin does not regard any of these three athletes as definitive favourites for the award this month. The former Arsenal player emphasised how Lionel Messi independently propelled Argentina to the World Cup final as the principal justification for his selection. Arshavin further noted how the eight-time Ballon d’Or recipient facilitated Inter Miami in securing their inaugural MLS championship. In remarks to Sports.ru, Arshavin said, “It appears to me that no clear favourite exists for the Ballon d’Or this year. However, I would award it to Messi. He delivered an exceptional World Cup, propelling Argentina nearly independently. “Regrettably, he was unable to guide the team to ultimate victory; nevertheless, he

Lagos seals 14 properties for discharging untreated sewage into public drains

The Lagos State Government has sealed 14 properties across Ikotun, Ikoyi, Isheri-Osun, Lagos Island, Ikorodu and Amuwo-Odofin for allegedly discharging untreated sewage into public drains and carrying out other wastewater management violations. According to the statement by the Lagos government, the action was carried out by the Lagos State Wastewater Management Office, LSWMO, as part of intensified monitoring and compliance activities against the indiscriminate discharge of untreated wastewater. The operations followed public complaints as well as findings from routine monitoring and investigations by the Office. LSWMO said the exercise was aimed at protecting public health, safeguarding the environment and ensuring compliance with Lagos State wastewater management regulations. Speaking on the exercise, the General Manager of LSWMO, Adefemi Afolabi, said the affected properties were found to be releasing untreated sewage from septic tanks and other wastewater systems into public drains, ongoing drainage works and nearby areas. He said some of the violations involved broken or dilapidated sewer chambers, illegally connected sewer pipes and the deliberate pumping of septic tank contents into public drainage channels. According to him, the practices resulted in foul odour, faecal contamination and environmental nuisance, while also posing potential risks to public health. Afolabi said the agency would continue to take decisive action against practices capable of exposing residents and communities to environmental and public health risks. “Wastewater management is not optional. It is a public health responsibility. Where untreated sewage is deliberately discharged into public drains or the environment, the consequences go beyond the property involved. It creates environmen
