Football Update: I Can Always Do More Say’s The Sixth Ballon d'Or Winner Lionel Messi

It’s no longer a things of speculation, Lionel Messi has been given the prestigious award for 2018/2019 football season. While giving his speech after receiving the record sixth Ballon d'Or award on Monday, the Barcelona talisman Messi, states that, he can still improve more on the game.

Messi defeated Liverpool’s defender Virgil van Dijk and Juventus forward Cristiano Ronaldo to win the 2019 prestigious award.

According to what Messi told the pressmen "I'm happy to live this, on a personal level and also on the sporting side. I try every time to improve myself. I have the belief that I can always do more. This prize is always special, but what matters most is collective success."

Messi, the Argentinian went further praise his team-mates, his family and those who voted for him, who "allowed me to have this distinction."

"A few years ago, I received my first Ballon d'Or in Paris," he added. "And it was unthinkable what I was living at the time. Now I have a sixth. It's a different moment."

If you recall, the Barcelona superstar won the award in 2009 at first, and he has been a constant contender ever since then.

With this recent victory on Monday, he has moved clear of C. Ronaldo, who had equal him on five Ballons d'Or award in 2017.

C. Ronaldo who is currently at the age of 34-year-old never looked likely to contending Messi's claim this year. Although, the Barcelona superstar biggest running this year was Liverpool centre-back defender Virgil van Dijk, who won the UEFA best player of the year.

Van Dijk, the Dutchman captain was aiming to be the second defender to win the Ballon d'Or after Fabio Cannavaro won it in 2006. Many People believes he had a strong claim to the award, after playing a vital role in Liverpool's UEFA Champions League win last season and also ending their Premier League campaign with 97 points, but unfortunately could win the league with such great point.

According to Ryan Baldi the Football writer, felt Messi was the right winner of this year Ballon d’Or,

Van Dijk has had an amazing year. He’s the best CB in the world by a mile and worthy of the recognition he’s getting. Like so many before him — Robben, Ribery, Xavi, Iniesta, Sneijder — he’s unfortunate to be around at the same time as Messi when it comes to the Ballon d’Or

Also, Gary Lineker the former Barcelona striker also believed Messi was the correct choice to win the ward this year.

Messi wins his 6th Ballon d’Or. His numbers this year are once again truly extraordinary. He’s head and shoulders the best player in world football. He plays a game that is both joyous and incomprehensible to mere mortals. The award is totally meritorious. 👏🏻👏🏻

As we all know, Ballon d'Or is a season year award and Messi, who is presently at the age of 32, has reverted 46 goals and 18 assists so far in 2019 season for both club and nation.

Messi hasn't scored less than 50 goals in a season year since 2013, however, Barcelona has five additional matches this year in which he can build his effectively mind-boggling count.

At the point when the Barcelona come back from their winter break on January 4, we probably would be hoping and believing that his run for the 2020 Ballon d'Or will start.

Messi will win the ballon dor today but let’s not forget that Ronaldo’s 2018 was clearly better and somehow modric got the award, and with more points than Ronaldo’s 2016 win. Another failed ucl campaign and worst international competition of Messi’s career is apparently enough
