The Barcelona president feels the star player's
latest Ballon d'Or win shows the world realises he is the best player of
all time has plenty more good years left in him
The Argentina international beat Cristiano Ronaldo and Neymar to the individual award and Bartomeu has stressed there is still more to come from the 28-year-old.
"Messi winning the Ballon d'Or is a great triumph for Barcelona, our supporters and mainly, Leo himself," he told reporters.
"And because he is still young, I do believe this will not be his last time here winning the trophy."
Whereas Messi and Neymar found themselves in the limelight in Zurich, fellow Barca attacker Luis Suarez missed out on a spot in the FIFPro World XI and Bartomeu felt the Uruguay international was hard done by.
"I would have chosen all players from Barcelona in the ideal starting XI team of Fifa, but I am not the one who votes," he added.
"Anyway, I missed Suarez there. I think he along with Neymar and Messi have marked a milestone in football.
"He should probably be here enjoying the Fifa Ballon d'Or party. He is a player that will keep doing great things with Barcelona."
