Lionel Messi, star striker of FC Barcelona, has won the 2018/19 European Golden Shoe award, the sixth of his illustrious career and the third consecutively.
The star striker scored a total of 36 goals in 34 games last season in the league and helped Barca to successfully defend the La Liga title.
On Wednesday, he was presented with the Golden Shoe at a ceremony which took place at Antiga Fabrica Estrella Damm in Barcelona. His family was also present alongside him and it was his children who presented Messi with the trophy.
"Without my team-mates I wouldn't have scored any goals, this is for everyone, it's a recognition for the whole team," said Messi.
