Exactly 37 years ago, on 24 June 1987 in the Argentine city of Rosario, one of the most outstanding players in the history of football - Lionel Messi - was born.
Despite the fact that Leo has been playing outside of Spain for three years, his loudest achievements are associated with the Catalan Barcelona. It was in the camp "blaugrana" he won seven of the eight "Golden Ball", and in another four times he triumphed in the Champions League.
With the departure from Barcelona to PSG in 2021 at the club level, he did not reach great heights, but it was as a player of the Parisian club to victories in the Champions League and Copa América, he conquered the most important achievement - a gold medal at the World Cup in 2022.
Now, Leo at club level represents Inter Miami of MLS. His influence on the kit of the team is so great that without the legendary Argentine, his teammates are very difficult.
Messi is currently focused on winning another trophy - the Copa América 2024. The Argentine national team are recorded as favourites for the tournament, so who knows, perhaps Leo will add another gold medal to his already considerable shelf of medals....
