According to AS, Barcelona's Lionel Messi has joined an elite group of players by picking up the Onze d'Or award.
The award is chosen by readers of French magazine, Onze Mondial for the player of the year in Europe. Previous winners include Michel Platini, Diego Maradona, Zinedine Zidane and Ronaldo.
Messi was runner up in the award last year, losing out to Cristiano Ronaldo, but has edged out his Portuguese rival as he looks set to clean up in the end-of-year awards this time around.
The Argentine has already picked up a host of trophies including the Trofeo Alfredo Di Stefano, the Premio Don Balon and the UEFA Club Footballer of the Year.
He is also widely tipped to win the forthcoming FIFA World Player of the Year award after being the runner-up for the last two seasons.
