Lionel Messi won The Best FIFA men's player prize for 2022 on Monday night while Alexia Putellas retained the women's award at a ceremony in Paris.

The Argentine striker beat his Paris Saint-Germaine teammate Kylian Mbappe and Ballon d'Or winner Karim Benzema to win the award for the second time since it’s inauguration in 2016.

The award, which is voted for by national team coaches and captains, journalists and also fans, recognises Messi’s sterling performance during the World Cup.

Messi scored brace in an epic final in Doha as Argentina beat France on penalties despite Mbappe netting a hat-trick for Les Bleus in a remarkable 3-3 draw.

He also claimed the Golden Ball for the best player at the tournament, although Mbappe was the top scorer with eight goals.

"This year was just mad for me, to be able to achieve my dream that I had fought so hard for. In the end I got it and it was the most beautiful thing that has happened in my career," Messi said of his World Cup win as he collected his award.

"It is a dream for every footballer but something that very few can make come true," added Messi, who was sat in the Paris theatre in between Mbappe and his wife Antonella Roccuzzo.

The seven-time Ballon d’Or winner takes over from Polish star Robert Lewandowski on the FIFA honors list.
