After receiving the award the Argentine skipper stated that without his team and teammates, he could not win the award once. The credit goes to his teammates completely. Last season, Lionel Messi won the La Liga title. Besides, he led his team to the Copa del Rey final but could not touch the title. Also, from the semi-final of the Champions League, they faced an unfortunate defeat. Yes, Champions League is always very special but to the Argentine forward, who won the FIFA Best Player award highest six times, La Liga is much more important.
In the ongoing season, Barcelona played a total of 8 matches which consisted of five victories and two defeat. They are holding the 2nd position and 2 points behind than the top-ranked holder Real Madrid.
