"Barcelona" and Argentina national team forward Lionel Messi collected the Golden Boot award for the third time on Wednesday, given to the player who scored the most goals in Europe. The 26-year-old footballer scored 46 goals last season in the Spanish league and helped Barcelona secure the champion's title. The Argentine won this title in the 2009-2010 season, scoring 34 goals, and in the 2011-2012 season, breaking the record in the Spanish league and scoring 50 goals. Lionel Messi, who became the first player in history to win this award three times, dedicated the trophies to his family and teammates, calling it a team achievement. "This is a great award and it belongs to all of us. It is more of a team award than an individual one. I wouldn't have been able to achieve it alone this time or before," Messi said.
