The Golden Awards...

In the aftermath of what was a very successful Batalla De Titanes: Super League season, we can now award the individual and team awards.

Golden Boot  (currently commercially termed "adidas Golden Ball") for best player;

• the Golden Boot - (Top Goal Scorer)

LIONEL MESSI (Barcelona)

Messi collects and kisses his well deserved Golden Boot award.

Messi was oustanding in this Super League, with a total of 27 goals to his name. This included a bunch of hat tricks and man of the match displays. With Barcelona next best being Neymar on 7 goals - it is clear without a doubt Messi carried Barcelona through the back half of the season.

Who knows what could have been if he had been able to find some of those 27 goals in the first half of the season.

Messi's closest rival to the Golden Boot award was of course Real Madrid's Cristiano Ronaldo, on 17 goals.
However the biggest difference would be Ronaldo's contribution to the team, having gifted many a goal to his fellow team mates including Benzema (12 goals) and Bale (8 goals). Which is a clear reason why he was given our next award.

• the Golden Ball - (Player of the Season)

CRISTIANO RONALDO (Real Madrid)

Without doubt the best player on the planet this season - Real Madrid's Ronaldo

• the Golden Glove Award (for best goalkeeper)

DIEGO LOPEZ (Real Madird)
