Lionel Messi wins the Ballon D'or 2012 for the 4th consecutive year. It's a great achievement for the little player from Barcelona. A player who has worked really hard to be a true brand name in the world of soccer. I use to be a professional soccer player too. I know what it takes to be on the top. I have experienced it at my local, state & national level. I myself am a die hard Cristiano Ronaldo fan. But I am happy with the result only because Messi does deserve the recognition. He respects the game & respects the other achievers too.
P.S: I hope Cristiano makes it as a winner in 2013. *fingers crossed*
