Winner!
Early Tuesday, Messi was a near-unanimous pick to win the Golden Ball, or Ballon d'Or for you
traditionalists.
Out of 480 possible points, the Argentine wonder got 473.
After the triple-trophy winning season Barca had in 2008-09, it was all but locked up months ago.
He's the sixth Barca dude to win and first since Ronaldinho four years ago.
