Messi, living legend!



Since he won the World Cup with Argentina on December 18, 2022, Lionel Messi can claim Goat Statt. “Greatest of All Time”, that is to say the greatest of all time. And yet, the octuple winner of the Ballon d’Or left far. Son of a worker of a manufacturing plant and a cleaning lady, the native of Rosario suffered from a growth problem during his childhood. Benefiting from a growth hormone treatment to fill his size deficit, Messi signed his first professional contract with FC Barcelona in February 2004, a club in which he had arrived three years earlier to finalize his training at the Masia.

With the Blaugrana, the one we nicknamed “the pulga” (“the chip”, in Spanish) wins at least once all the possible competitions: the liga, the Spanish Super Cup, the King’s Cup, the Champions League, the European Supercup and the Club World Cup. Often unhappy in selection, he finally granted himself the two major trophies to which he could claim: COPA America in 2021 and the World Cup the following year. In terms of statistics, the International Albiceleste has an impressive number of records, mainly those concerning its number of goals scored. Back in pictures on several moments of his immense career.
