Leo Messi secured a record breaking fourth Ballon D'or has been celebrated by his sponsors Adidas in a brand new video. Messi capped off a record breaking 2012 with his fourth World footballer of the year, staving off the competition from the arch rival Cristiano Ronaldo and team-mate Andrea Iniesta.
Messi added to his prestigious 91 goals in a calender year title with the world player gong, as 2012 seen the diminutive Argentinian win the title for a unprecedented fourth time. To celebrate such a momentous achievement Adidas, who have sponsored Messi since 2006 have created a short video animated video of some of moments of Messi Magic. Which include goals in the Champions League against Manchester United in the 2011 final, and Arsenal in the same year. The video which was released on Monday and has has already notched just over two and a half million views, which you can see at the bottom of the post.
Along with the viral video the football giants have also created some special boots to celebrate all four Ballon D'or awards. The boots are embellished with the four consective years that Messi has won the award, all fully branded on his signature F50 Adizero boots along with the players own branding.
It was not the only accolade that Messi picked up on the night, as he was part of the World XI which was made entirely out of players from La Liga. On the night Twitter was awash with vitriol on the team, which was primarily made out of players from Real Madrid & Barcelona, aside from Athletico Madrid striker Falcao.
The team did suffer a backlash on Twitter with some fans who argued that Robin Van Persie should be getting a starting place in the team. Especially after a fantastic goalscoring season and a half with two of the Premier Leagues most successful teams Manchester United & Arsenal.
Despite the outrage across Twitter many people still managed to see the lighter side of the game, when it came to talking about Messi and his choice of clothing on the evening. With a bold Polka dot jacket & bow tie being the hot topic of conversation for many with the like of Esquire in the USA voicing disgust on the flamboyant nature of the jacket.
So another year, another Messi triumph in the world of football. With the Argentinian aged at just 25, we wouldn't be surprised if he dominated for further half decade in world football.
