Lionel Messi will soon become the star of an animated series as Disney has announced the release of a cartoon featuring him as the main character, reports Bild.
The series, titled "Messi and the Giants," will follow the adventures of a 12-year-old Leo as he battles tyrannical giants who control the 10 Kingdoms.
While the official release date has not yet been revealed, the project promises to captivate audiences.
"I've always dreamed of being part of a project that shares the values of sports with younger generations, values that have been crucial in my career. With teamwork, persistence, discipline, and hard work, nothing is impossible. I’m excited to share this series with children worldwide and hope to inspire and motivate them to pursue their dreams. As a kid, I loved cartoons, and I’d love to watch this series with my own children," Messi said about the project.
In the most recent MLS season, Messi played 25 matches, scoring 23 goals and providing 13 assists. At the FIFA The Best-2024 awards held recently, Messi ranked sixth in the race for the title of the world’s best player.
