Messi – So much achieved, at such a young age

Lionel Messi was announced World Player of the Year, he was far ahead of the nearest rival making him favorite to win the award.

The award to Messi goes probably because of his contribution in the Champions League where helped catalan giants, Barcelona to win the competition for the year 2008-2009. This is not all, Messi was a part of the Spanish team that was the first ever to win all three competitions or the ‘treble’ for Barcelona.

He has since grown there and climbed up the youth ranks to make a name in the first team of the Blaugrana.

Messi is considered now as one of the best players in the world. He has everything right from skill full tactics to speed and he has the capability to single handedly lift a team to victory.

Messi, as most famous players are, has been seen a lot of rumours floating around, linking him another club. Barcelona made a bid for Manchester City Robinho and Manchester City were quick to ask for Messi in a swap deal. There were also reports in Italy linking the Barca ace to Inter Milan where money is not a problem for the Inter owner Massimo Morati. The wildest of rumors have been new Real Madrid owner Florentino Perez trying to do another Figo and break the bank to buy Messi.

But Messi says he will remain loyal to Barcelona since they showed so much faith in him when he was young and brought him to Spain. Messi continues to terrorize the defense and cause night mares to defenders of the opposing team.
