Lionel Messi – latest news
Football player Lionel Messi was born on June 24, 1987 in the Argentine city of Rosario – his father was a worker at a steel mill, and his mother worked as a cleaner.
Messi started playing football at the age of five in his native Rosario. He progressed rapidly despite the disease (at the age of 10, he was diagnosed with growth hormone deficiency and required long and expensive therapy). At the age of 13, together with the parents of the Messiah, he moved to Spain to continue training at the Barcelona academy.
Much of his career has been associated with this club: Messi made his first team debut in 2003 before leaving the club for France’s Paris Saint-Germain in 2021. Together with Barcelona, the footballer has won ten Spanish titles, four UEFA Champions Leagues, seven Spanish Cups, eight Spanish Super Cups, three European Super Cups and three Club World Cups.
Five years after moving to Barcelona (where Messi, in addition to his native Spanish, had to learn Catalan and improve his English), the football player received Spanish citizenship. However, he chose to play for the national team of his native Argentina. His success in the national team turned out to be more modest than at the club level. With the Argentina national team, he played in the finals of the World Cup (2014) and the America’s Cups (2015 and 2016), and his team failed three years in a row. In 2021, the Argentinean team led by Messi still managed to win the America’s Cup, and the player himself became the top scorer and the best player of the tournament.
The Argentinean is one of the most titled, recognizable and highly paid football players in history. He received the Ballon d’Or six times (as of 2022) and the Golden Boot seven times. Time magazine included him several times in the list of the 100 most influential people in the world, and in 2019 Forbes magazine named Messiah the highest paid athlete on the planet. According to the same Forbes calculations, by 2020, Messi’s total career earnings have exceeded a billion dollars.
