It would be a great pleasure and a rejoicing moment for all the Football fans especially for the fans of Barcelona FC and the fans of Argentinian-Barcelona FC star player Lionel Messi to witness that Lionel Messi ,still only 24 years old, has once again won the 3rd Ballon D'Or or World Player of the Year 2011 award for the third time in a row consecutively on Monday, January 9, 2012.

While Real Madrid’s Portuguese forward Cristiano Ronaldo was second in the vote for the 2011 FIFA Ballon D’Or and Messi’s Barcelona team mate Xavi was at third.

The Argentina and Barcelona forward Lionel Messi also inspired his Spanish team Barcelona to win the Champions League, La Liga and Club World Cup.


“To win it three times running is a very big honour,” Messi, who also won both old awards in 2009, told the audience after being presented with the trophy by former Brazil striker Ronaldo a three-time World Player of the Year. And also he added as  “I want to share it with the people who helped me, my team mates and coach. This is very special, I want to divide it with me team mate Xavi.”


It was also learnt that no player has previously won the FIFA award three times in a row, although Michel Platini claimed the France Football prize three years in succession in the 1980s.

Barcelona’s coach Pep Guardiola won the Best Coach 2011 award ahead of Manchester United’s Alex Ferguson and Jose Mourinho of Real Madrid. And Ferguson took the FIFA presidential award for outstanding service to the sport.


Barcelona’s coach Pep Guardiola said “I would like to share this award with Mourinho and Ferguson and all the coaches around the world who love this game,” . And then he continued “I also thank the thousands of people through more the 100 years who have worked in football in Barcelona and have developed one of the best clubs in the world.”


The ceremony, co-presented by former Netherlands striker Ruud Gullit, also saw Japan’s Homare Sawa voted as the Women’s Soccer Player of the Year 2011, ending a run of five successive wins for Brazil’s Martha.

Brazil and Santos forward Neymar won the award for the Goal of the Year, a stunning effort in a Brazilian championship match against Flamengo.

Messi swept home with 47.88 per cent to votes in the survey among national team coaches, captains and selected media. While Portugal and Real Madrid player Ronaldo took 21.6 percent and the Barcelona's Spanish player Xavi took 9.23 percent.

I think the Argentina and Barcelona forward player Lionel Messi truly deserves and is worthy to be called as the "The god of the Football" and the Barcelona FC is always the Champ. He not only scores goals for his team but in the meantime, he also assist his team mates to score the goals for the team. He is one such rare football star player who is always calm and patience even in the time when other opposition players make a fault deliberately and behave rudely upon him during the matches. He is not such kind of players who approach and demand the referees in the match to award a card (Yellow/Red) to that particular opposition players who committed fault upon him or his other team mates. And I should say that every professional football star players should possess the good qualities and manners like him in the field. Lionel Messi is the greatest football player that have ever been on this planet. My Best Wishes for the best and greatest football player Lionel Messi, the god of the football, and the Barcelona FC which is always the Champ, for the upcoming matches in the year 2012. Keep Winning and Good Luck !!!!!!
