Lionel Messi

The Modern Messiah

Lionel Messi's statistics are not only those of a predator in the area but also of a Balon d'Or and a FIFA World Player - the two trophies that journalists, players and coaches from all over the world will surely crown him as the modern Messiah of Football and the successor to Maradona.

Barcelona's Number 10 has closed the Triple Championship year as the club's top goalscorer with 38 goals - 23 in La Liga, 6 in the Copa del Rey and 9 in the Champions League.

This also makes him Europe's top goalscorer - he put the icing on the cake by heading home the second goal in the Champions League final against Manchester United in Rome.

Squad Number: 10

The goal that meant 2-nil unleashed madness in the Olympic Stadium - because of the incredible piece of finishing between Manchester United's defensive towers that left Van der Saar powerless to react.

Messi was the fifth most used player in Pep's Barça, and throughout season he has honoured his squad number - 10 - a number worn by so many historic players in the past.

The diet imposed by Pep and the fact that the coach rationed the young Argentinian's appearances so sensibly has meant that there have been no serious injuries this season - despite having competed in the Olympic Games in the summer, where he also won the gold medal with Argentina.

The Lionel Messi that will play in 2009-10 is technical, super-fast and lethal in the area.

And there's no price you can put on that!
