Seems a bit of a con now, Messi was not even the best player for Barca in La Liga in his last season there, never mind La Liga on the whole, a league which is declining year by year, ok, he did win Copa de america, but even then , he wasnt Argentinas best player of the tournament, for me it was Angel Di Maria, but I agree with most people, Lewandowski should have had the award, suppose the excuse was there for him not winning it, with Bayern failing to win the champions league.
