Adidas have marked Lionel Messi’s Ballon d’Or triumph by presenting the Barcelona star with a new platinum football boot.
Messi fought off long-term adversary Cristiano Ronaldo and team-mate Neymar to win world football’s biggest accolade for an unprecedented fifth time in Zurich on Monday.
Having beaten Cristiano Ronaldo to the Ballon d’Or, 2015 saw Lionel Messi get back on top.
The Argentina international stands alone with the most Ballon d’Or titles, two clear of Ronaldo and a host of footballing legends, including Johan Cruyff, Michel Platini and Marco van Basten.
