The Camp Nou crowd rise to their feet to acclaim the man himself with a giant flag bearing the world ‘Congratulations Messi’ – in homage to Lionel Messi, the best player in the world and his fifth Ballon d’Or award recently claimed in Zurich, Switzerland.
That was the setting on Sunday night, just moments prior to kick off of FC Barcelona’s match against Athletic Club.If anyone had a sense of déjà vu, it would have been understandable. Messi was already the most decorated player in the history of the award when he won his fourth Ballon d’Or three years ago. Now, at just 28 years of age, Messi has added another, putting some distance between himself and the handful of others who have won the award three times.
This is the fifth such time that Messi has had the honour of presenting the trophy to the fans at Camp Nou. And they hope it won’t be the last.

Leo Messi y su quinto Balón de Oro. Esta es la imagen que ha ofrecido el crack argentino en el césped del Camp Nou, momentos antes del partido ante el Athletic Club. Si bien Messi, con cuatro trofeos, ya era el jugador de la historia con más Balones de Oro, ahora ha completado una repóquer que reafirma su condición de crack mundial.
Con sólo 28 años, el delantero azulgrana ha conseguido un reconocimiento que ningún otro jugador del fútbol mundial ha alcanzado. Como no podía ser de otra forma, la afición le ha agradecido la hazaña desplegando un ‘tifo’ en el que se ha podido leer “Enhorabona Leo!”.
