Lionel Messi He does not stop accumulating goals, assists and trophies. This Monday, the ’10 ′ of the Argentine team was awarded at the Laureus Awards as Best World Sportsman of the Year in Paris, the city where he currently resides.

It is the second time that the PSG striker has received this award; in 2020 he shared the trophy with Lewis Hamilton, a motorsport driver.

The last Qatar 2022 World Cup was decisive for leading in this category. The performance of ‘La Pulga’ is considered one of the best in the history of the World Cup. Let’s remember that he also won the Ballon d’Or for this contest.

In the same way, the ‘albiceleste’ team also won the Best Team of the Year award, after being crowned world champion last December.

“I want to thank all my teammates, not only from the national team but also from PSG, I have not achieved any of this alone and I am grateful to be able to share everything with them,” Messi mentioned.
