Lionel Messi, born in Rosario, Argentina, in 1987, is not just a soccer player, he is a global
icon. His story is that of a child with extraordinary talent who fought against the odds to
become the best player in the world.
The first steps of a genius:
The passion for soccer began at an early age. At the age of 5 he was already playing in a
neighborhood club, dazzling everyone with his ability to handle the ball. His growth was
affected by a hormonal deficiency, but his determination was unwavering. At the age of 13,
FC Barcelona's prestigious La Masia academy took him under its wing. There, away from
his family, Messi polished himself and grew as a player.
Explosion at Barcelona:
In 2004, at just 16 years old, he made his debut in Barcelona's first team. His magical left
foot and ability to dribble past opponents captivated the fans. Along with other talents such
as Xavi and Iniesta, he was part of a dream team that dominated world soccer for a decade.
A golden era:
Under Pep Guardiola, Messi's Barcelona reached unsuspected heights. They won leagues,
King's Cups and, above all, Champions Leagues. Messi became the team's goal scorer par
excellence, breaking records and collecting Ballon d'Or (award for the best player in the
world) year after year. His understanding of the game and his ability to create and define
plays were unmatched.
The quest for glory with Argentina:
Despite his successes with Barcelona, Messi's big debt was winning a title with the
Argentine national team. Although he reached a Copa America final and a World Cup final,
victory eluded him on several occasions. Finally, in 2023, he managed to lift the coveted
World Cup in Qatar, settling a pending account and filling an entire country with joy.
Beyond soccer:
Messi is an idol for millions, but he is also a caring person. Through his foundation, he
helps children and adolescents in vulnerable situations. His humility and simplicity make
him a reference not only on the field, but also off it.
An indelible legacy:
Lionel Messi is still playing and adding pages to his history. But his legacy is already
written. He is considered by many the best soccer player of all time, a ball magician who
captivated the world with his talent and magic. His story is an inspiration to all those who
pursue their dreams with passion and dedication.
The rivalry between Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo is one of the most intense and
debated in the history of modern soccer. Both are considered two of the greatest players of
all time and have dominated the world soccer scene for more than a decade. Here is a
summary of this rivalry:
Parallel Beginnings and Trajectories: Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo began their careers at
different but equally prestigious clubs. Messi emerged through FC Barcelona's youth
academy, while Cristiano Ronaldo came through clubs such as Sporting Lisbon,
Manchester United and then Real Madrid. Both players showed exceptional talent from the
start and quickly became the most outstanding players in their respective teams.
Dominance at FC Barcelona and Real Madrid: For many years, Messi led Barcelona
while Cristiano Ronaldo was the star of Real Madrid. This rivalry was further intensified
due to the direct competition in the Spanish league, where both teams faced each other in
the famous "Clasico" several times a year. Their performances in these and other high-
profile matches helped fuel the rivalry.
Individual and Collective Successes: Both Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo have won
numerous titles both individually and collectively. Both have been awarded multiple Ballon
d'Or awards, setting records in the process. In addition, they have contributed significantly
to their teams' successes, leading Barcelona and Real Madrid respectively to league titles,
domestic cups and the UEFA Champions League.
Comparisons and Debates: The Messi-Cristiano rivalry has generated numerous debates
among soccer fans and pundits. Their playing styles, technical skills, statistics and
contributions to their teams' success have been compared. Some argue in favor of Messi
because of his exceptional dribbling ability, vision and ability to create chances for his
teammates. Others favor Cristiano Ronaldo because of his scoring ability, physical strength
and versatility in different positions.
Mutual Respect: Despite their on-field rivalry, Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo have
expressed on multiple occasions their mutual respect and admiration for each other's skills.
Both have publicly praised the other for their achievements and contributions to soccer.
In short, the rivalry between Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo is a remarkable chapter in soccer
history that has captured the attention and passion of millions of fans around the world. As
both players continue to make their mark on the sport, their legacy will continue to be
