Barcelona star Lionel Messi gave an ecstatic reaction after winning a record fifth FIFA Ballon d'Or at the 2015 Gala in Zurich on Monday, recapturing the award from Cristiano Ronaldo.
Per the Telegraph's JJ Bull, the 28-year-old said:
It's a very special moment for me, winning another Ballon d'Or after being in the audience watching Cristiano win the last two years.
I want to thank all who voted for me and my team-mates who without none of this would be possible.
It’s incredible this is my fifth.
