Barcelona ace Lionel Messi has tonight won his sixth Ballon d’Or title.
The Argentine is back to his best this season following an injury during the pre-season that affected his start to the new campaign.
He was the star of the show against Atletico Madrid on Sunday, scoring an 86th-minute winner to take the Catalonia side back to the La Liga summit.
Generally, Barcelona’s number 10 has had a stellar year, even though it was not one of his best.
