Barcelona forward Lionel Messi has won an award as the best player in last season's Spanish league.

The Argentine international was also awarded a prize as the league's best forward in a ceremony in Madrid late Monday.

Lionel Messi has thanked Pep Guardiola and the Barcelona squad for keeping his
confidence up after a demoralising few days that saw him criticised in both Argentina and Spain.

















The Blaugrana forward was deeply affected by attacks in the media, which questioned his ability, attitude and desire while playing for Argentina in the recent World Cup qualifiers.
That saw his form for Barca dip, and the criticism continued after a lacklustre display against Valencia. However, he bounced back on Sunday against Real Zaragoza.


“I did not have the happiest of times with the national team, nor in the Valencia game, but I always knew I'd bounce back," he was quoted as saying by Barcelona's official website.
"The most important thing is my team-mates - they showed total confidence in me, which makes me feel more comfortable.

"Pep [Guardiola] too. It's important how he makes you feel, both on and off the pitch. He takes particular interest in you as a human being, not just as a player."

Messi is the favourite to win the Ballon d'Or in December, but the diminutive forward is not concerned about winning individual trophies for himself.

Messi said he knew everything would return to normal after the thrashing of Zaragoza to give Barca a three-point cushion at the top of Primera Liga. A superb lob late in the second half capped a fine performance from Messi as a brace from strike partner Zlatan Ibrahimovic and a hattrick from Seydou Keita secured a fantastic victory for the champions.


“We enjoyed that a lot, especially with the outcome in our favour. It took a while, because sometimes we score in the first minute but finally I got a goal,” said Messi. “I’m not tired except emotionally after the things with the national team and bad match in Valencia but I knew it was time to be calm.”

Ronaldo said :"Messi is favorite for Golden Ball"

Real Madrid winger Cristiano Ronaldo thinks Barcelona striker Lionel Messi could succeed him as the best player in Europe by winning the Golden Ball award.


The Portugal winger, who joined Madrid from Manchester United during the offseason, said Tuesday in an interview with France Football magazine that Barcelona players have the best chances to win the prestigious trophy this year.

"Messi is the favorite," Ronaldo said. "Why not him? If he wins it, it will be well deserved."

Six players from Spanish and European champion Barcelona are chasing the Golden Ball, whose list of nominations was released last week and included Messi, Xavi Hernandez, Thierry Henry, Andres Iniesta, Yaya Toure and Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

Ronaldo has also been selected. The winner will be announced on Dec. 1.
"The favorite is a player from Barcelona," Ronaldo said. "To win a trophy like this, you need to have won collective trophies, a league title, the Champions League. That's why many players from Barcelona could win it."

Restricted to players in Europe, the Golden Ball winner is decided by an annual poll of football journalists compiled by the magazine.


Ronaldo also admitted that Barcelona was better than Real Madrid.
"But why? Because they are playing together for several seasons," the Portugal winger said. "Not just for two months like us. We respect Barcelona but let's wait until the end (of the season)."
