Leo Messi was presented with his sixth European Golden Shoe award by his two sons Thiago and Mateo at a gala event at the Fábrica de Damm in central Barcelona.

Messi scored 36 La Liga goals last season including six against Nigerian opponents in the League.

After receiving his award, the Argentine said,”As is always the case with individual awards, winning this is thanks to my team-mates.”

The Catalan club were represented by president, Josep Maria Bartomeu; CEO, Óscar Grau and directors Javier Bordas and Xavier Vilajoana along with Eric Abidal and Ramon Planes.

Luis Suarez was also on hand to see his colleague presented with his sixth Golden Shoe.
