Barcelona football forward, Lionel Messi won a record third European Golden Boot for scoring the most goals in Europe's domestic leagues last season.
The 26-year-old Messi helped Barcelona win the 2012-13 Spanish league by scoring 46 goals despite missing several games with a right hamstring injury near the end of the season. Messi also won the award for 34 goals in 2009-10, and a Spanish record 50 in 2011-12. Former Barcelona star Hristo Stoichkov presented the prize to Messi on November 20, 2013.
The first player to receive the award three times, Messi dedicated his latest trophy to his family and his teammates, calling it a team award. Messi is recovering from a left hamstring tear that will probably keep him sidelined for the rest of 2013. It was his third leg injury of the season. Before his latest injury, he had eight goals in 11 league appearances.
