Messi: "Only at the summit of world football with four Golden Balls"

It's a myth among myths. Four Golden Balls contemplate Leo Messi, a milestone never achieved before by another player. If last year and emerged as the youngest player to win the award three times with 24, three behind Johan Cruyff, the '10 'Barca yesterday signed a historic poker that seems short. At 25, Michel Platini, for instance, had not won yet and the first of the three that scored between 1983 and 1985. The insatiable hunger winner Messi, who in 2012 returned to excel at smashing the record scorer Gerd Muller (85 goals in 1972) and leave it at 91, has no limits.

At this rate, the judgment of Johan Cruyff, who last year ventured that Leo could win "five, six or seven Golden Balls", is true. For now, already has four symptoms are not foreseen that its hegemony in world football stops.

The genius of Rosario, in Switzerland yesterday accompanied by his father, George, and two of his three brothers, Rodrigo and Matias, knows that in his hands is considered the best footballer of all time.

The showcase home is too small. Leo continues to celebrate the victory in any match and get excited when you stop at its endless collection of trophies. Missing the World Cup, yes, but what has already been achieved through the Ecuador when his career and makes him strong contender for the throne forever.

Pele, three World Cups, failed to win the Ballon d'Or to be restricted to European players until 1995. Would have accumulated a few too.

Diego Armando Maradona is one that would now be in a privileged position in the list of winners of the prize but the continuity, regularity and, above all, the capacity to overcome unimaginable Messi own right makes him king of kings.
