First Ballon d’Or
At the age of 22, Messi won his first Ballon d’Or and FIFA Award for Best Player of the Year, both awards with the largest voting margin in the history of each trophy at that time.
A Record Breaking Year
Messi ended the season as the top scorer in Spain and Europe with 50 goals, a record in La Liga, while his 73 goals in all competitions surpassed 67 goals from Gerd Muller in the 1972-73 Bundesliga season, making Messi the best scorer in European football history in a single season.
At the end of the year, Messi had a record of 91 goals in all competitions with Barcelona and Argentina, surpassing Gerd Muller’s 85 goals in 1972 for Bayern Munich and Germany.
Fifa World Cup 2014
Substitute Mario Götze scored in the 113th minute and Germany won the game 1-0 to win the Fifa World Cup. At the conclusion of the final, Messi was awarded the Golden Ball as the tournament’s best player.
Top Scorer in La Liga
Messi scored a hat-trick against Sevilla on November 22 which made him the top scorer in La Liga after surpassing the 59-year record of 251 goals held by Telmo Zarra.
Top Scorer With National Team
At Copa America 2016, in the quarter-final against Venezuela, Messi performed another great performance by assisting two goals and scoring another in a 4-1 victory, which made it equal to the 54-goal record held by Gabriel Batistuta.
That record was broken three days later, when Messi scored a free-kick in a 4-0 win against USA in semifinals.
