[Ballon Dor = Golden Ball for the best footballer of the year]
To make sure that his quote was not, yet another political babble, Messi did win it last year beating C.Ronaldo by a historic margin of votes.
And this year, it has only gotten better, with the top three finalists all belonging to Barca - Andres Iniesta, Xavi Hernandez and Lionel Messi - and all of them products of Barca's youth system.
For a fan, this is as good as it gets and probably is once in a life time opportunity to see the team perform, like it does week in and week out.
For starters, I would recommend watching atleast one good Barca game to appreciate the style and beauty of the game. Anyone who has ever kicked a football, could understand how difficult it is to achieve constant precision and power, and how simple Barca makes it appear on the field mixing their skill and creativity to leave the opponents flummoxed and the audience overwhelmed!
