Messi winning the ballon d'or

  Lionel Messi won his fifth Ballon d'Or. Messi is said to be one of the world's best soccer players, and he proved it by wining the Ballon d'Or. On January 11, 2016, Lionel Messi won his fifth Ballon d'Or award. Messi had 41.33% of the votes, with Real Madrid's Cristiano Ronaldo 27.76% followed by Barcelona's Neymar 7.86%. In my opinion, Messi deserved to win the Ballon d'Or award. Sure he was injured half the season but the other half that he wasn't injured, Messi showed great skill in his dribbling. On the other hand, Ronaldo also played great, but his skill this year would always end up in him getting slide tackled or losing the ball. Neymar, an outstanding, uprising star showed great resilience, and skill during 2015. He dribbled so many players out to score the goal or either assist Luis Suarez. When Messi got injured, Neymar and Suarez were the ones who carried the team. When Messi returned on El clasico, Barcelona was already winning 4-0 over Real Madrid, so that shows how well Neymar and Suarez play together. Even statistics show how well Messi played:

Messi's 2015 in numbers

• 61 games, 52 goals and 26 assists.
• A goal every 101 minutes and an assist every 202 minutes.
• Best minutes-per-goal rate - 80 - of anyone scoring a minimum of 10 goals across Europe's top five leagues during 2015.
• Directly involved in 49 goals in La Liga - 34 scored and 15 assists - which was the joint-most with Ronaldo in 2015 across the top five European leagues.
• Scored in all six club tournaments in 2015, as Barcelona won five of them.

Messi also won the Ballon d'Or four years in a row.
