A suave Cisse looked the part in a white suit covered with birds – but that was not the only striking thing about the Frenchman.

Famed for his different colour hairstyles in his career, Cisse is no different in his retirement, having hung up his boots in 2021.

Now Cisse sports blue hair, but fans were complimentary and suggested he has aged well.

One said: “Now that is what you call style, wow Cisse looking very suave.”

Another added: “Djibril Cisse has aged so gracefully.”

A third wrote: “Dripping ”

And another commented: “He doesn’t miss.”

Messi picked up his eighth Ballon d’Or at the Paris ceremony, beating Erling Haaland and Kylian Mbappe to the top award.

England and Real Madrid star Jude Bellingham picked up the Kopa award for young player of the year.

While Manchester City, who has several players in the top ten of the Ballon d’Or voting, won club of the year.
