Messi on his "special moment"
Lionel Messi is (obviously) delighted to win the trophy again.
“It’s a very special moment to be back here, winning another Ballon d’Or,” he says.
“Especially after watching from the crowd as Cristiano won last year.
“It’s incredible win a fifth... more than anything I ever dreamed of as a kid.
“I want to thank those who voted for me, plus my team-mates. Without them this wouldn’t be possible.
“Football has always made me learn and grow.
“Thank you and good evening.”
The Barcelona superstar enjoyed an incredible year and has now scooped the prestigious prize for a fifth time.
Messi has been beaten by Cristiano Ronaldo in the last two years but has edged out the Real Madrid superstar and team-mate Neymar this time around.
His previous wins came between 2009 and 2012 with the latest triumph indicating his return to the top of the world game.
“A lot of time has passed since 2009. I’ve grown and learned a few things,” he said.
“We grow and learn from everything. I’m trying to add things to my game.”
