Yesterday, Lionel Messi was awarded his 7th Ballon d'Or. Messi has had quite a fruitful year last season and has achieved a lot for both his club (Barcelona) and country (Argentina). He captained Barcelona to win the Spanish domestic cup, 'Copa Del Rey' and was also the top goal scorer for the Spanish La Liga.
For his country, he captained them to the Copa America tournament, where he has scored the most goals and gave the most assists (Top Goalscorer and Top Assister). This gave him the honorary award of Copa America Player of the Tournament(POTT). Lionel Messi is unarguably the best footballer in history.
In second place was, Robert Lewandowski (Bayern Munich, Poland) and the second-runner up was Jorginho Frello (Chelsea, Italy). Both had seasons too, with Lewandowski having the most club Goal Involvements(48 Goals and 7 Assists) across all top five(5) leagues and an astounding Goal-to-Game Ratio of 1.33 Goals-per every game.
Jorginho on the other hand, won all the major competitions he participated in, making him the player with the most titles across all the top five(5) leagues. He was also awarded the UEFA Men's Player of the year award. He won the;
- UEFA Champions League
- UEFA Euros
- UEFA Super Cup
