The most recognized records of Messi

In this entry, I will talk about the most recognized records of Lionel Messi, because if I talked about all of them, they would not enter in just one.

Top winner of the Ballon d'Or 

In the years 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2015, and 2019 he won the Ballon d'Or, 6 in total, the highest amount a player has achieved in history. It also counts within itself the record of most Ballon d'Ors won consecutively, with 4 won between 2009 and 2012.

In the 2009/10, 2011/12, 2012/13, 2016/17, 2017/18, and 2018/19 seasons he won the Golden Shoe, again having 6 in total, 2 more than Ronaldo, his closest competitor.

Top scorer of the Argentine team 

With 71 goals in 142 games, Messi surpasses Batistuta as the top scorer for the albiceleste. He broke the record after his renowned free-kick against the United States in the Copa América Centenario (or against Colombia in the Qualifiers months later if he is counted 56 goals).
