Lionel Messi Wins 2015 Award for Best Player in the World

Barcelona star Lionel Messi has been named as the 2015 winner of Goal 50, an annual award given to the best player in the world.Chosen by editors and correspondents from across Goal.com's various titles, the award recognises Messi's contribution to Barcelona's treble-winning season and his role in helping Argentina reach the Copa America final."I always say that, for me, the important awards are the ones achieved collectively, Messi told Goal. When the season ends, the fulfilment of goals is what really matters. But it is also true that it's nice to receive individual recognition like this. I am very grateful and very happy."Messi has won the award a record four times since its inception in 2008.[h/t Goal]
