Barcelona Star Lionel Messi Wins Trofeo Pichichi & Premi Di Stefano Awards

Barcelona star Lionel Messi was honoured with the Trofeo Pichichi award by Madrid-based Spanish sports daily Marca on Monday for topping the Primera Division scoring charts with 34 goals last season.

The Argentina international was also awarded the Premi Di Stefano as La Liga's best player for the second year in a row.

The 23-year-old revealed that his favourite league goal of 2009-10 was his second against Real Zaragoza in a match that the Spanish champions won 4-2 at la Romareda on March 21.

"It’s true that it’ll be difficult this year, but I really want it to be one of our players who wins the 'Pichichi' this season too," Messi is quoted as saying by Barca's official website after receiving the awards. “It’s hard to choose from the 34 [goals], but I guess the second one against Zaragoza was the best."

Messi netted a hat-trick in that match and for the second goal he ran from midfield leaving three Zaragoza players in his dust.

Summer signing David Villa was awarded the Trofeo Zarra as the top Spanish goalscorer in 2009-10 with 21 goals for Valencia and he said, “You just try and score as many goals as you can and let’s see if Leo, or myself, or any other of my team-mates can pick up the trophies next season too."

Barcelona goalkeeper Victor Valdes collected the Trofeo Zamora after conceding just 24 goals in 38 league games.
