Lionel Messi collects 2017/18 La Liga MVP Award after hitting 34 goals last term

Barcelona captain Lionel Messi has received his La Liga MVP award for 2017/18 season today.

Javier Tebas, President of La Liga, 

presented the award to Messi for being 

the best player in Spanish top division last 

season.

2017/18 was yet another fruitful season 

for the 31-year-old Argentinian, who 

scored 45 goals and made 18 assists in 

54 appearances across all competitions.

Barcelona scored 99 goals in La Liga last 

season, with Messi scoring 34 and made 

12 of them.

His massive contribution helped 

Barcelona win the La Liga and Copa del 

Rey titles last term as well.

Speaking at the ceremony, which is 

organized by Mundo Deportivo starting 

from this year, Messi says: "It is my 

pleasure to be here and it's a very nice 

recognition for what it means because of 

the importance of the league."

"It is a very equal league from the bottom 

to the top, each team is seperated by very 

few points. We will follow our dynamics 

and get victories to get more points so as 

to become champions."

"(As for Copa del Rey,) It's going to be 

hard. Sevilla - with very good players - have

 a 2-0 advantage over us, so we'll need the 

best form from us and the best players 

from us, because we want to go through."
