Messi, who was recently named
Goal 50 winner last week, also won the best overall player in addition beating Ronaldo
to that also. While receiving the award, he said: 'I dedicate this award to my son Thiago, when
I leave home, he always gets mad and says, 'You're again going to the goal’.

of 2014-15.
