Lionel Messi, born on June 24, 1987, in Rosario, Argentina, is widely regarded as one of the greatest footballers of all time. From a young age, Messi displayed an exceptional talent for football, joining the youth team of Newell's Old Boys in his hometown. At the age of 13, he moved to Spain to join FC Barcelona's famed La Masia academy, after the club agreed to cover the medical treatment for his growth hormone deficiency.

Over his illustrious career with Barcelona, he won numerous titles, including 10 La Liga championships, 4 UEFA Champions League titles, and 7 Copa del Rey trophies. Individually, Messi has been awarded the Ballon d'Or, given to the world's best player, multiple times, solidifying his status as a football legend.
In 2021, Messi transferred to Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) due to Barcelona's financial difficulties. Despite the move, he continued to showcase his unparalleled talent on the field. Internationally, Messi has been a key player for the Argentine national team, leading them to victory in the 2021 Copa América and the 2022 FIFA World Cup, fulfilling a lifelong dream of winning a major international tournament for his country.
