His performance this season is unquestionable and the yearly Balon D'Or award and World Best player is definitely in the bag for Lionel except the world ends before the day or Fifa decided to cancel him out.

Concerning who's the best player ever has always been a difficult question to answer but this type of question is not worth the stress for Barcelona president Bartomeu. Bartomeu in an interview believed that Lionel Messi is out of this world and any award given to player of his kind shouldn't come from this world. According to him he said " There will be 10 of them!" "I wouldn't even give him the Ballon d'Or. He's beyond that now, in a category of his own. There are great players, but he's in a different dimension."
