The Awards

So in a season which has brought us so much - which players were the best.

Well I think this argument starts and ends with Messi and Ronaldo. Both were the complete superstars their respective teams needed them to be this season.

Messi was by far and away the best player in La Liga, although Ronaldo certainly came home strong. It took 4 goals in his second last game for Messi to seal the Golden boot award.*
(Ronaldo may yet have won Golden Boot, season concluded with one match remaining.)

However Ronaldo clearly dominated Champions League football this season. His tally of goals has rarely been seen at this level, and was the catalyst which propelled Real Madrid into the final.

So who takes home the top individual award of the season - Player of the Season.
Well the winner is......

Lionel Messi.



Messi wins the top award

Trophies count for everything in the game, and Messi has it in spades. A back to back La Liga crown sealing Messi the top individual honour this time, but only by the skin of his foreskin.
Congratulations.

Sometimes winning is actually losing...if you know what I mean
