In Monday's opulent ceremony for the Best FIFA Awards in Paris, Lionel Messi, Lionel Scaloni, and Emiliano Martinez completed a clean sweep for Argentina.

Messi, a forward for Paris Saint-Germain, won the Best FIFA Men's Player award, while Scaloni won Best FIFA Men's Coach, and Martinez won Best FIFA Men's Goalkeeper.

The award period runs from the start of the 2021–22 season until the conclusion of the 2022 World Cup, which saw Argentina snap a 36-year championship drought.

Martinez, who plays for Aston Villa, won the vote ahead of Thibaut Courtois and Yassine Bounou, who represent Real Madrid and Sevilla, respectively. Courtois did, however, make the FIFPro Men's World 11 squad.

Scaloni was next to pick up an award after seeing off competition from Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola and Real Madrid head coach Carlo Ancelotti, who won the LaLiga and Champions League double last season.

La Albiceleste have lost just one of their 23 games since the start of last season, with their solitary loss coming in their opening Qatar 2022 group game against Saudi Arabia.

Messi made it three from three for Argentina by claiming the top prize at the ceremony in the French capital, which started with a poignant tribute to Brazil great Pele.

Madrid striker Karim Benzema and Messi's PSG team-mate Kylian Mbappe had also been in the running for the award.

Argentina's fans also claimed the FIFA Fan Award.

Their domination on the men's side was not quite matched by European champions England in the women's prizes.

Mary Earps was named the Best FIFA Women's Goalkeeper and Sarina Wiegman took the Best FIFA Women's Coach award for a third time.

But Beth Mead was pipped to the Best FIFA Women's Player accolade by Alexia Putellas, last year's winner.

Other winners included Luka Lochoshvili, then of Austrian side Wolfsberger, in the FIFA Fair Play category for potentially saving the life of opponent Georg Teigl during a game after the Austria Vienna player fell unconscious mid-match.

Polish amputee footballer Marcin Oleksy won the FIFA Puskas Award for the best goal for his perfectly executed bicycle kick for Warta Poznan against Stal Rzeszow.
