This Thursday the FC Barcelona Museum will put on display the Golden Boot that will be officially presented to Lionel Messi on September 30, and which accredits him as the top goalscorer in Europe for the 2009/10 season.

A delegation from the magazine ‘Don Balón’, led by Rogelio Rengel, who is in charge of the international editions, visited the FC Barcelona Museum on Thursday morning. The Golden Boot was deposited in a specially structured space, the editor of ‘Don Balón’ and the director of the Museum, Jordi Penas. Messi will be officially presented with the award at a ceremony on September 30 at 19.15 in the old Estrella Damm factory in Barcelona.

On display for a week
The original trophy that will be received by the Argentinian star for topping the continent’s goalscoring charts in the 2009/10 season will be on show for a week on the first floor of the Museum, and all visitors will be able to see it in person and have their photographs taken with it. The golden trophy will be in a cabinet just in front of a huge display showing Messi’s picture and a list of the 34 goals that the Barça number 10 scored last season.
