Lionel Messi Sends Message to Cristiano Ronaldo As The Barcelona Ace Swims In Pool Of Trophies

Lionel Messi may be the outgoing world best, with Cristiano Ronaldo being the hottest favorite to wrestle the crown from him, But the Legendary Argentine has displayed to the world what greatness is all about.




As the voting for the most prestigious prize in world football closes today, Messi's brother - Matias Messi took it upon himself to make a late campaign for the Barcelona superstar, hence tweeting a picture of his brother’s trophy haul since 2009 alongside a graphic of Real Madrid rival's Cristiano Ronaldo’s from the same time period.

Bayern Munich forward Frank Ribery is also a favourite after a record breaking year with his Bavarian club. With dark horse - Zlatan Ibrahimovic and world most expensive footballer - Gareth Bale also in the running, this year's show promises to be one of the most competetive ever.. I can only employ the captains and coaches of clubs and countries to leave aside sentiments and vote for the guy that shook 2013 the most.
