Argentina and Paris St-Germain forward Lionel Messi has been named Men's Player of the Year at the 2022 Best FIFA Awards.
The 35-year-old beat French forwards Kylian Mbappe and Karim Benzema to the prize.
Messi captained Argentina to World Cup glory in Qatar, and scored 27 goals in 49 games for club and country in 2021-22.
Barcelona's Alexia Putellas was named Women's Player of the Year.
Messi, who won the award for a second time, says it has been a tremendous year and it's an honour for him to be here and win this award.
Messi adds he has achieved the dream he had been hoping for so long and very few people can achieve that and he has been lucky to do so.
