Vid en stjärnspäckad gala i Zürich utsågs Lionel Messi till världens främste fotbollsspelare under 2015, framför Cristiano Ronaldo och lagkamraten Neymar i Barcelona.

“It is a special moment to win another Ballon d’Or after watching Cristiano win. It is incredible it is my fifth, more than I dreamed of as a kid. I would like to thank all who voted for me, my teammates and football in general for everything it has brought me, bad and good, it has made me grow and learn always.”
