Lionel Messi wins World Footballer of the Year 2012...

He breaks records as easily as he finds the back of the net. Barcelona and Argentina’s Lionel Messi, the soccer player many believe is the best of all time, won the prestigious Ballon d’Or for a record fourth time (in a row, no less) in Zurich on Monday, beating out his club teammate Andrés Iniesta and Cristiano Ronaldo, his great Real Madrid and Portuguese rival. “To tell you the truth, it’s really quite unbelievable to win this award,” he said on stage in Spanish. “The fourth award that I’ve had is just too great for words.”


He won it in 2009, 2010, 2011 and now in 2012. The only player in history to win it four times. Bow to the king! Though a lot of people think Christiano Ronaldo should have won.
