Argentina and Barcelona forward Lionel Messi won FIFA’s Ballon d’Or award on Monday as the world’s best player of 2010.
Messi won the trophy for a second straight year, finishing ahead of Barcelona teammates Andres Iniesta and Xavi Hernandez.
“It’s a very special day for me,” Messi said through a translator on receiving the award at a gala ceremony in FIFA’s home city.
The 23-year-old Messi helped an exciting Barcelona team retain its Spanish league title and lead the standings again this season.
