Lionel Messi took home a record-breaking fifth Ballon D'Or trophy today, as he was praised around the world by some of his footballing colleagues.
Obviously, some of his team-mates in Barcelona had something to say about who they believe to be the best footballer ever to step inside the pitch, but a number of his opponents also congratulated the Argentinean for adding another piece of silverware to his trophy case.
