The market value jumps did not include the 34-year-old Argentine star Lionel Messi, despite taking all the tournament awards as the best player, scorer and passer. Age may have an important role in determining the market value, and the "Bulga" has fallen in recent months to 21st place with a value of 80 million euros.
