The Argentine international has managed to add another significant accolade to his splendid tally by winning his third consecutive LFP player of the year award.
Barcelona’s http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Lionel-Messi-c22296 has become the LFP Player of the Year for the 2011/2012 season once again. The forward who was able to win the first edition of the coveted prize has managed to remain consistent in retaining it.
In addition to this, the footballer also won the Best Forward award for the preceding season.
La Pulga has managed to overcome Real Madrid’s http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Karim-Benzema-c20350 as the two athletes were named among the runners-up.
Messi’s contribution towards his success is nothing short of immense. The Barca number 10 has shown that he can score under any circumstances as he is considered one of the most prolific and clinical finishers in the world.
Last season was probably the best season in the career of the 25-year-old as he managed to break a significant number of records. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Leo-c22011 broke the record for the highest number of goals scored in the Spanish La Liga by one player. He was able to find the back
of the net 50 times.
Moreover he also broke Gerd Muller’s record of scoring the highest number of goals in one season across all of Europe. The Blaugrana talisman scored a whooping amount of 72 goals in last season’s campaign.
"For those two awards I want to thank the coaches that voted me the best forward and to my colleagues who voted me the best player," Messi told reporters.
"It's a very big honour to be able to receive these awards. I won it last year too, it's a great satisfaction and an enormous joy."
Messi’s teammate, Andres Iniesta, was also among the players who managed to win an award and he was named the LFP Playmaker of the Year.
While talking to reporters, the midfielder quoted:
"It's something very special because one's work is noticed and valued, and it makes you very happy.
“I hope that I can have this opportunity again in future, because that would mean that I have kept growing as a player and that is what I am most concerned about."
