Here is the moment Barcelona forward, Lionel Messi received his award for the FIFA Men’s Player tonight in Milan, Italy.

However Liverpool’s Van Dijk’s reaction before and after Messi was announced as the winner is currently making rounds online.

Web users are of the opinion that VVD deserved the award for winning the Champions League title but we belive the Argentine won the award following a great individual campaign that saw him score 51 goals and assist another 22 in just 50 appearances.

In addition, he also lifted the LaLiga and Supercopa de Espana titles. Messi won the award for the first time since 2015 and lifted it for a sixth time overall, going one ahead of his longstanding rival Ronaldo.
