Lionel Messi is arguably the greatest player in the word today. The superstar striker of FC Barcelona and Argentina recently won his second player of the year award, for the second year in a row. Messi is a master of control, passing, dribbling and shooting making him one of the world's most exciting players to watch, whether you think he's the best or not.
Messi was the top scorer of the 2005 FIFA World Youth Championship with six goals, including two in the final game. Shortly thereafter, he became an established member of Argentina's senior international team. In 2006, he became the youngest Argentine to play in the FIFA World Cup and he won a runners-up medal at the Copa América tournament the following year. In 2008, in Beijing, he won his first international honour, an Olympic gold medal, with the Argentina Olympic football team.
