A few weeks ago there was, held in Monaco, a draw for the Champions League groups and also an award ceremony for the best players in Europe for sporting achievements in 2011. First place, which was not surprising, because the best tipsters from around the globe picked him, took Lionel Messi playing day in/day out in Barcelona, Spain. Second place was awarded to Xavi Hernández, Messi’s team-mate. The third place took another player from the Spanish Primera Division, Christiano Ronaldo called CR7 playing at Real Madrid. All three of these footballers were so-called favourites to win the main trophy, awarded by vote of journalists each year. This year, 53 European journalists voted.
Messi in the Champions League scored 12 goals last season and was top scorer of that league. These goals are only a supplement to the entire list of goals from the season 2010/2011, in which he hit the net 53 times. It's an amazing achievement, of course, it would not be possible without his team-mates, Xavi and Iniesta. Xavi, as I mentioned, was second and Andres Iniesta fourth in voting by journalists. In the top ten, four football players were honored from Barcelona because in 8th place yet settled Gerard Piqué. Barcelona's players fully deserved the awards as they won the Champions League in the 2010/2011 season for Barcelona by defeating Manchester United 3-1.
Amongst the punters offering their sport picks there were many tips for Barca players, which later proved to be the best club in the world, winning 4-0 with brazilian Santos.
Congratulations Mesii and the whole Barcelona team!
