The 25-year-old Messi scored a Spanish-league record 50 goals for Barcelona, edging out fellow Spanish league star Cristiano Ronaldo of Real Madrid by four goals.
Messi dedicated the award to his teammates, with Xavi Hernandez and Carles Puyol present for the ceremony in Barcelona.
“I don’t fight for individual awards, I fight for titles. My goals are reclaiming the league crown, winning the Copa del Rey and the winning the Champions League again. Those are my goals, team goals.” The Argentina international won his first Golden Boot in 2010 for his 34 goals that helped Barcelona win the league title. Messi is among the favorites to win the 2012 Ballon d’Or for the world’s best player. “We won’t see another player like him, and if we do, it won’t be for a very long time,” said Barcelona coach Tito Vilanova.
“It’s not just for the goals he scores, but for how he sees and understands the game, that is what makes him so great. On Saturday, he ran 50 meters to defend a corner in the 89th minute with a 5-0 lead. Not many players would have done that.”
Luis Suarez Miramontes, the former Spain international and 1960 Ballon d’Or winner, presented the award.
Messi, nicknamed “The Flea” for his uncanny ability to dribble through defenders, has shattered a number of records over the past year.
