"Barcelona" striker Lionel Messi on Monday received the top goalscorer award in the national championship in Barcelona - the "Golden Boot statue". The Argentine received this award for the second time. Last season, 25-year-old L. Messi scored 50 goals in the Spanish championship, surpassing Real Madrid's striker Cristiano Ronaldo by four goals. After receiving the award, L. Messi dedicated it to his teammates Xavi and Carles Puyol. "It is an award for scoring goals, but I would not have done it without my teammates. I share it with them, as always. I do not fight for individual awards, I fight for team titles", said L. Messi. L. Messi won his first "Golden Boot" award in 2010, scoring 34 goals.
