Today in Monaco not only the groups of the UEFA Champions League were clarified - the best player of the last season playing in Europe was also chosen. As expected, Lionel Messi became the main candidate to win the Golden Ball.
The star of "Barcelona" led his team to gold in Spain and Europe this year, and "blaugrana", after winning the country's king's cup, enjoyed a treble.
The Argentine scored 58 goals in all tournaments in 2014-15, and in the Champions League he shared the title of top scorer 10 times with his teammate Neymar and Cristiano Ronaldo from "Real" Madrid.
It is true that the Portuguese scored three goals more last season, but Messi's team won the most important club trophies, and the Argentine also made the most assists in the strongest European tournament - six.
