Barcelona maestro, Lionel Messi was undoubtedly the most impressive Argentine superstar during the 2017/2018 season. The 5-time Ballon d'Or award winner reminded us of his greatness once again, with his unbelievable achievements and performances during the campaign.

The playmaker helped Barcelona to overcome a poor start to the season, producing brilliant displays and finally re-establishing the Catalans as one of the most dominant clubs in Europe. Messi bagged an incredible 34 goals and 12 assists in the La Liga, 6 goals and 2 assists in the UEFA Champions League as well as 4 goals and 2 assists in the Copa Del Rey.

He also led the Catalans to claim both the Spanish title and the Copa Del Rey trophy, as well as leading them to the quarterfinals of the Champions League. Once again, the Argentine will lead his nation into the World Cup next month.

Honorable Mentions: Gonzalo Higuain, Angel Di Maria, Ever Banega
