Barcelona’s wonder kid Leo Messi has won the prestigious European Player of the Year Award famously known as Ballon d’Or.
The 22-year-old has now occupied all of the top three places, having debuted in third in 2007 before rising to second last year.

At 22, he now is elevated to the Ballon d’Or status, succeeding Real Madrid’s Cristiano Ronaldo, the man he largely overshadowed in Sunday’s league encounter at the Nou Camp which left Barca top of the league clear of their megabucks rivals.

Check out this video of Messi’s Top 10 goals in 2009:
