Messi gets one past Ronaldo with Uefa accolade

The Argentinian star, who won the Champions League, Spain's La Liga and Spanish Cup with Barcelona, claimed the award for the second time. He also won in 2010/11. Ronaldo won last year.
Barcelona and returning giants Manchester United were dealt favourable hands in the Champions League draw in Monaco.
The Spanish giants' quest to become the first team to retain the European crown began smoothly as Messi and company were paired with Bayer Leverkusen, Roma and BATE Borisov in Group E.
United are back in the competition after a year's absence and coach Louis van Gaal will be more than happy with the three-time winners' Group B sparring partners, PSV Eindhoven, CSKA Moscow and Wolfsburg.
Arsenal have a tough test against Bayern Munich in Group F while Paris St Germain are pitted against 10-time winners Real Madrid in Group A
