The Argentine maestro ended Real Madrid rival Cristiano Ronaldo's two-year grip on the FIFA Ballon d'Or award at Monday's awards ceremony in Zurich, also heading off Barcelona clubmate Neymar.
"It is a very special moment for me to be back here on this stage, winning again another Ballon d'Or after being there in the audience watching Cristiano win," the 28-year-old said, as his young family watched in the crowd.
"It's incredible this is my fifth. It's much more than anything I've dreamed of as a kid. I want to thank everyone who voted for me and I want to thank my teammates. And lastly, I want to thank football in general for everything it has brought me. Both the bad and the good. Because it has made me learn and grow."
