Lionel Messi has been crowned as the FIFA Best Men's Player for 2022 – two months after winning the World Cup for the first time with Argentina.
The 35-year-old was named as the Player of the Tournament in Qatar after scoring seven goals and has now received yet another accolade following a sensational end to the year for club and country.
Having also scored six times and provided nine assists in just 14 Ligue 1 matches before the World Cup, Messi climbed ahead of his rivals after not even being nominated for the Ballon d'Or back in August.
