Lionel Messi (Right Winger) – Barcelona
What can be said about Messi that the world already does not know? The Argentine maestro gave us the most iconic image of the season when he celebrated the winner against Real Madrid in a pulsating Clasico by holding his shirt aloft to the supporters.
That moment has just been one among the many magic moments the Barcelona legend has given us to savour this season. Top of the pichichi standings with an incredible 37 goals, Messi has shown a ruthless streak in his game this season which has made him even more dangerous.

9 assists, a League-high 16 man of the match awards show that the Argentine has been miles ahead of his peers this season. It also shows how the rest of the Barcelona side has failed given that they fell short of the League title even with a player like Messi leading them.
Not afraid to get physical and take the game by the scruff of the neck, Messi has once again evolved his game in this campaign. Although his team did not end up winning the League title, Messi has certainly done enough to show that he is undoubtedly one of the best (if not the best) players in world football.
