Lionel Messi finally wins La Liga Player of the Month
Lionel Messi has been named Spain's La Liga player of the month for January - the first time.
The award has been given out since the beginning of the 2013-14 Primera Division season, but the five-time FIFA Ballon d'Or winner had not won it until now.
Barcelona's talisman finally won the award at the 23rd time of asking after scoring six goals in as many league games in January.
Messi is only the second Barcelona player to win the award following Neymar's success in November.
