Lionel Messi, born on June 24, 1987, in Rosario, Argentina, is widely regarded as one of the greatest footballers of all time. Known for his extraordinary dribbling, vision, and goal-scoring ability, Messi spent the majority of his career at FC Barcelona, winning 10 La Liga titles, 4 UEFA Champions League trophies, and becoming the club’s all-time top scorer.
After moving to Paris Saint-Germain in 2021 and later to Inter Miami CF in 2023, he continued to shine, leading his teams to success and promoting football in new regions. Internationally, he captained Argentina to win the Copa América in 2021 and the FIFA World Cup in 2022, cementing his legacy as a global icon. With 8 Ballon d'Or awards and countless records, Messi's story of overcoming adversity, including a childhood growth hormone deficiency, is an enduring inspiration worldwide.
