Messi wins Golden Ball

Update : 14 Jul 2014, 04:24 AM

Lionel Messi has been awarded the Golden Ball at the 2014 World Cup, reports BBC.

Messi, 27, won the Golden Ball after scoring four goals in Brazil, but was subdued in Sunday's final in Rio.

Messi said of the award: "The truth is it doesn't interest me at this moment."

"We wanted to win the World Cup for all the people in Argentina and we couldn't do it."

The Argentine star said: "We tried, but we didn't have the luck we had in other games."

All of Messi's goals at the 2014 Fifa World Cup came during the group stage, with a double against Nigeria following goals against Bosnia-Hercegovina and Iran.

But the four-time world player of the year failed to score in the knockout stages, and he and Gonzalo Higuain were guilty of being wasteful in Sunday's final.
