Barcelona forward Lionel Messi has been
presented with his third Golden Boot
award for scoring the most goals in
Europe's domestic leagues last season.

The 26-year-old Messi helped Barcelona win the
2012-13 Spanish league title by scoring 46 goals
despite missing several games with a right
hamstring pull near the end of the season.
.
Messi also won the award for the 2011-12 season
when he set a Spanish league record with 50 goals.
.
The Argentina international earned his first Golden
Boot for the 2009-10 season when his 34 goals
powered Barcelona to the league title.
.
Messi is recovering from a left hamstring tear that
will probably keep him sidelined for the rest of 2013.
