In this post I will be talking about accomplishments that Messi has achieved.Messi has accomplished a countless number of things so now we have to determine what accomplishments are the to most noteworthy. I've analyzed what he's done and found what I think his five greatest accomplishments are.
5 - Messi joins F.C Barcelona
Something that really shaped Messi and was a huge accomplishment for him at the young age of thirteen was when he was recruited by the famous soccer team F.C Barcelona. He was signed in September 17 2000. F.C.B signed him because they scouted him at a young age and they thought he'd be a great aspect to their football program. Messi excepted the deal because F.C.B offers to pay for the growth hormones that he needed and he was exited to join such a great football club. Stated in givemefootball.com "it didn't take long for Barca's scouts to make up their minds and Messi and son were soon arranged accommodation - Barca as their new home".

4 - Messi signs with EA sports
For the last couple of years Messi has been the star for the Pro Evolution soccer franchise. P.E.S is a big soccer franchise but not as big and famous as the EA sports FIFA franchise. Because of how good of a franchise EA sports is, when Messi was offered to be the face of FIFA in November 24 2011, he signed with them. EA sports signed Messi because they classify him as the best footballer ever so it's nice to have someone working with them with that capability and celebrity status. Matt Bilbey the GM of the football department for EA sports states on www.eurogamer.net "With Messi on our team we have the worlds best and most exiting player to help EA sports maintain its global leadership in the years ahead" read more about this at http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2011-11-24-ea-sports-signs-messi-as-global-face-of-fifa.
3 - Messi wins his second golden boot
As the great player that Messi is, he's obviously had a lot of awards. One award that Messi has been given twice is the golden boot. Messi got this award last year in 2011 for how well he played and now on October 22 2012 he was rewarded his second one for scoring the most goals in Europe's domestic leagues last Sunday. Messi praises his teammates for helping him get his awards. As he states from thenews.com "It is a prize for scoring goals, but without my teammates I couldn't have scored them".

2 - Messi scores a record of most goals in a calendar year
Fourth years ago in 1972 Gerd Muller set a world class soccer record with scoring eighty five goals in one calendar year. This calendar year for 2012 Messi beat that record. December 1 2012 Messi scored eighty sixth goal of the year to beat the record. Messi had an outstanding year for goal scoring so it's great hat he could achieve this record. This is such a big accomplishment for Messi because it shows how outstanding of a player he is and how he praises his teammates for it, as he states here newsday.com "The record is nice, but the important thing is that the win keeps us on the path we want to continue on".

1 - Messi wins 3 Ballon D'or trophies
With all of Messi's accomplishments I think that there is one that stands out from the others, and that would be his three Ballon D'or trophies. The Ballon D'or award is a trophy that is given out to the best footballer in spain. Messi didn't just get this trophy once. He got it in 2009, 20010, and 2011, and is the favor for getting it again for the 2012 year. When Messi praises his teammates from Spain for this, Jerome Valcke a FIFA security officer states "This shows how strong football is in Spain, not only in the clubs but in the national team" if you'd like to read more then go here at http://msn.foxsports.com/foxsoccer/world/story/lionel-messi-cristiano-ronaldo-andres-iniesta-ballon-dor-three-man-shortlist-112912
Whether its be owing the face of EA sports FIFA, getting awards, breaking records, or joining FCB, Messi made a lot of accomplishments throughout his life even though he's at the young age of twenty five. Messi has some great accomplishments but getting three Bollan D'or trophies is probably his best accomplishment of all.
