Was there any doubt? The man is 31 and still continues to astound fans with that magical left boot of his.

While Lionel Messi failed to find the net against Real Madrid in LaLiga, he more than made up for it with stunning displays against Vallecano, Betis and Espanyol.

6 league goals in the month of March took the Argentine's tally to 31 goals in just 27 appearances and he is a shoo-in for LaLiga's Golden Boot.

The little magician also left his mark on the Champions League, netting a brace and providing two assists to guide his side past Lyon after a surprising 0-0 draw in the first leg.

Barcelona are closing in on a historic treble and if they do indeed manage to get their hands on three trophies, there is simply nothing that will stop Messi from lifting his sixth Ballon d'Or.
