"Barcelona wizard Lionel Messi was awarded the ESPN Deportes Latino Athlete of the Year last night in Los Angeles. Though the 22-year-old was delighted to have bagged another individual accolade, he has his sights set another clean sweep with the Blaugrana."
“This honour is fantastic, as all awards are important and special,” Marca quoted him telling reporters during the gala.
“But I hope to repeat the season that we just had, although it will be very difficult to replicate our accomplishment last campaign.” (Source)
