Lionel Messi is the reigning FIFA World Player of the Year, but he is now the recipient of arguably an even greater honor, thanks to an enterprising Spanish chocolatier. A pastry shop in the town of Lleida is displaying a lifesize sculpture of Messi made entirely of chocolate. At 254 pounds, the concoction weighs 72% more than the FC Barcelona soccer star. Scroll down for photos.

Messi is so overrated. Cristiano Ronaldo is better.

Messi is absolutely amazing! His FOUR goals led the way when Barca obliterate­d a very good Arsenal team in Champions League quarters. Will Messi and Barca be able to sink Inter in the semi-final­s?

No disrespect to Lionel, but..

Goooo Inter!! \o/ :)

Too bad ESPN is still running bowling, I agree. The best game in La Liga got run yesterday and ESPN didn't bother with it.
