Lionel Messi was named Best FIFA Men\'s Player at a ceremony in Paris on Monday.
\"It\'s amazing. It was a tremendous year and it is an honor for me to be here tonight and win this award,\" said Messi, who sat next to Kylian Mbappe throughout the ceremony at the Salle Pleyel.
Monday\'s award was Messi\'s second FIFA The Best title, his first coming in 2019. He has also won a record seven Ballon d\'Or awards.
\"I want to express my thanks to [coach Lionel] Scaloni and my teammates; without them I would not be here,\" Messi added.
\"I achieved a dream I had been hoping for so long and finally I achieved it. It\'s a dream for any player; very few people can achieve that and I was lucky enough to do so.\"
