Lionel Messi

Leo Messi’s 91^st goal probably clinched for him the FIFA Player of the Year Award, a distinction that he had won thrice before. But even if he doesn’t get it this year, FC Barcelona’s all-time top scorer already has 79 goals for the team and 12 for Argentina. That 91^st goal was an awesome year-ender both for Messi and Barcelona, which currently leads the Champions League. Messi now holds the record, having surpassed Gerd Meuller’s 85 goals which the German held for four decades.
Messi was born Lionel Andres Messi in Rosario, Santa Fe province in Argentina on June 24, 1987. He is the captain of the Argentina national football team and plays forward for FC Barcelona. His mind blowing five-goals-in-one-match achievement this year puts him in the historical annals of the UEFA Champions League. This distinction and his various many records and awards make him the top contender for the ultimate recognition as the best footballer in the world today.
