And Ballon d’Or goes to… Lionel Messi
Out of the Barcelona trio, Andres Iniesta, Xavi and Lionel Messi, Messi was revealed as the 2010 FIFA Ballon d'Or winner. This is Leo's second back-to-back Ballon d'Or win and the first time since 1994, when Hristo Stoichkov won it, that a non-World Cup winning player won the award in a World Cup year.
