Barcelona striker Lionel Messi has said that it is unlikely that he will be able to reach the same dizzying heights he achieved in 2012, but admitted he is aiming for a fifth Ballon d'Or.
The Argentina star blew everyone away with a phenomenal year in which he managed to net 91 goals, breaking Gerd Muller's record for number of strikes in a calendar year in the process, which saw him pick up the Fifa award for a record fourth time.
And while Messi concedes it will be hard to top last year, he is determined to add more silverware and success.
