Lionel Messi has been at his best despite turning 33. The six-time Ballon d'Or award winner shows no sign of signs of ageing and is blazing guns at for the team. Even yesterday, during the last match of the season against Deportivi Alvares, he scored a couple of goals and played a vital role in taking the team a thumping won of 0-5 in an away fixture. The team will play in the impending Champions League 2019-20 in August and will look to win the contest.
