Barcelona superstar Lionel Messi on Wednesday was named the best player in the Spanish football league for the month of September, La Liga said in a statement.
Messi is to receive the award in Barcelona's Camp Nou stadium ahead of Saturday's clash with Sevilla, reports Efe.
"Leo Messi, the FC Barcelona forward, has been named the La Liga Santander Player of the Month for September," La Liga said via their website.
"The Argentine scoops the first prize of the 2018/2019 season after an impressive start to the campaign which saw his side go to the top of the standings," the statement added.
Messi scored three La Liga goals last month, one against Girona and a brace against Huesca, as well as collecting four assists.
Barcelona holds the second spot in the Spanish league table with 15 points, one point behind Sevilla.
