Messi: I would prefer a World Cup over five Ballon d'Or trophies. Lionel Messi has stressed he would rather lift the World Cup with Argentina than win a fifth Ballon d'Or trophy
The Argentine came close to being crowned a world champion in 2014, but Germany eventually proved to be too strong in the final, much to Messi's frustration.
"I would prefer to win a World Cup rather than five Ballons d'Or if I had to choose," Messi said at a news conference.
"I have always said that I prefer team achievements and the World Cup is the biggest trophy out there."
Messi has made the podium of the Ballon d'Or in each of the last nine seasons and he feels proud of his achievements over the past decade or so.
"Every year I try to do my best and improve on my numbers from the previous year," he continued.
"Last year, thankfully, we managed to reach all of our goals.
It’s hard to single out one moment, my year was full of happiness. We had very special moments throughout the year.
"I feel proud of everything I have achieved at club level and of all the titles and so forth. It is always harder to win again after you have achieved something big before.
