In Zurich on Monday Lionel Messi claimed an unprecedented fifth Ballon d’Or, making him the most celebrated footballer in history.
And while Messi stands alone with his five trophies, he is by no means the only player to have claimed the gong on multiple occasions.
All-in-all there have been ten players to have won the award at least two times, with Real Madrid legend Alfredo Di Stefano the first to do so when he claimed the prize for a second time in 1959.
