Barcelona star Lionel Messi last night received the Golden Boot award as last season's top scorer in Europe's domestic leagues at a ceremony here.

The 23-year-old Argentina striker's 34 La Liga goals made him a clear winner ahead of Chelsea's Didier Drogba and Udinese's Antonio Di Natale, who both achieved 29.

Messi is the second player to win the Golden Boot while playing for Barcelona after Brazil's Ronaldo in 1996-97.
