Lionel Messi has been named FIFA Player of the Year 2010 for the second straight time, beating off strong competition from Barcelona mates Andres Iniesta and Xavi.
The Argentine prodigy scooped the prestigious gong in a FIFA ceremony in Zurich to repeat last year's feat, where he significantly surpassed Cristiano Ronaldo and Xavi.
Messi has been in scintillating form with Barca during the year, even though he only won the Spanish Primera Liga title with the Blaugrana.
A disappointing World Cup campaign with Argentina wasn't enough to persuade world managers not to vote for the 23-year-old.

Mourinho is the best manager in 2010
Real Madrid boss Jose Mourinho was expectedly named Manager of the Year, following his historic treble with Inter Milan last term.
The Portuguese outclassed Spain's World-Cup-winning coach Vicente Del Bosque and Barcelona manager Pep Guardiola.
Turkey and Bayern Munich midfielder Hamit Altintop won the FIFA Puskas Award for best goal of 2010, thanks to a stunning volley against Kazakhstan in a EURO 2012 qualifier.
Brazilian Marta won the Women's FIFA World Player of the Year for the fifth time on the spin.
