#2 Lionel Messi
Beating his arch-rival, Cristiano Ronaldo, to the FIFA The Best award, to him, is not enough. He always wants to have one over the head of his Portuguese counterpart. What other way to do that this season than taking home the only trophy that ties them together?
Barcelona is struggling because Lionel Messi is not at his best yet but he is steadily coming close. Still nursing the pains of the disappointing defeat to Liverpool the last time out, Messi is sure to start producing the sort of magic we know him to have up his sleeves very soon. Most especially, with the fact that the only trophy that seems to appeal to him now besides the World Cup is the Champions League.
Anyone who wants to be a stumbling block to him towards achieving this success is sure to feel the venom that is still boiling deep down Messi’s belly. Watch out for him or you’ll be taken by so much surprise that your head will spin.
