The Barcelona superstar could have an award named in his honour to commemorate the best player in the league
Lionel Messi is "the best in football history" and La Liga president Javier Tebas is open to naming a trophy for the competition's best player in his honour.
Barcelona superstar Messi, a five-time Ballon d'Or winner, is LaLiga's all-time leading goalscorer on 390 and has lifted the title on nine occasions.
The Spanish top-flight's end-of-season awards have not been handed out since the 2015-16 campaign due to a desire to reformat, and Tebas would be keen to show recognition for the 31-year-old in the same way daily sports newspaper Marca have named accolades after Telmo Zarra, Rafael 'Pichichi' Moreno and Ricardo Zamora.
