MESSI WINS AGAIN

The Barcelona striker Lionel Messi recently managed to win the FIFA Ballon d’Or award for the fourth consecutive occasion, while also managing to beat his teammate Andres Iniesta on the way. The Spaniard was more successful than Messi in terms of trophies last season after he managed to win the Euro 2012 with the Spanish national team. However, Messi managed to win the FIFA Ballon d’Or award courtesy of his 91 goals in a calendar year. Recently, Iniesta has praised Messi by saying that it is an extreme pleasure to play with him.

Iniesta has praised the attitude of Lionel Messi by saying that he is capable of doing something out of the ordinary yet he is always grounded. He has also recalled how long he has been training with Messi at Barcelona. Messi has been one of the main reasons for Barcelona being hugely successful in recent seasons. Iniesta has said that it is what matters at the end of the day. He has also said that there is nothing called as the perfect player and he believes he can improve even more. Iniesta has been one of the vital cogs of the Barcelona team along with Messi and Xavi over the last few years.

“I’ve played with Leo for a long time and there’re no words to properly describe him. His best attribute is how he’s able to do something out of the ordinary on a daily basis. He also makes the difference in a very natural way and having this sort of player in your team is incredible. We understand each other really well and I hope he can continue doing what he’s doing and bring more success. At the end of the day that’s what really counts,” said Iniesta, who was nominated alongside Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi for the award.
