Lionel Messi is again the master of the world’s soccer players.

It is a mighty claim for a little fellow. But he deserved to receive the FIFA Ballon d’Or, the recognition as player of the year, in Zurich on Monday night.

This was the second straight year that Messi was so acclaimed and the third time that one club had provided the top three players in the world poll. Runners-up to Messi were Xavi Hernández and Andrés Iniesta, his teammates at F.C. Barcelona.
