Speaking directly to the player, the President told him: “Leo, in the name of all the Barcelona club. I want to thank you. You have praised the work of La Masia and you are a faithful reflection of what we want -the first player who has come through the club to win the Golden Boot , Golden Ball and World Player of the Year. Thank you also for the person you are – you are a Golden Person too”.

Friends and teammates

Board advisor Migueli wasn’t surprised by the award: “Leo can’t surprise me anymore– he did the first day I saw him. He has tremendous quality. He’s thrilled us all and he’s the best in the world – I wish him all the best for the future”.

Finally, first team trainer Juanjo Brau, who has shared many of Messi’s highs and lows, stressed Messi’s “sense of being a part of the team, his humility and the friendly way he treats everybody. He’s the best in the world, but he’s got his feet firmly on the ground”.
