Argentina skipper Lionel Messi has won the Golden Ball at the 2022 World Cup after being named the tournament's best player.
Messi, 35, led Argentina to their third World Cup title, scoring twice in the final as they beat France in a dramatic penalty shootout.
He netted seven goals in seven games and became the first player to score in each round of the same World Cup since the last-16 round was introduced in 1986.
