Messi's Roma goal wins UEFA Goal of the Season award

The Argentine has lifted another prize, this time for an outstanding strike against Roma, in which teammates Neymar and Luis Suarez played a role.

Lionel Messi has won the UEFA Goal of the Season award for a brilliantly worked strike against Roma in the Champions League.

The Barcelona star exchanged slick passes with Neymar and Luis Suarez before dinking an inch-perfect finish past goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny in a 6-1 victory over the Serie A side at Camp Nou last November.

The Argentina international, somewhat surprisingly, is not in the running for the UEFA Best Player in Europe accolade, with Cristiano Ronaldo, Gareth Bale and Antoine Griezmann vying for that honor, with the winner announced at the draw for the Champions League group stage in Monaco on Thursday.
