Ten Things You Did Not Know About Leo Messi

Lionel Messi is widely considered to be the best player in the world at the moment and some even believe the Argentine is the best to have ever played the beautiful game.

At 23 years of age he has accomplished much more than anyone could have hoped for and his life is pretty much an open book for soccer betting fans around the globe. However, there are some things that you probably didn’t know about the Barcelona star.

1.) Messi’s style of play, impressive technical skills and small physique earned him comparisons with the legendary Diego Armando Maradona, and it is interesting that the Barcelona forward managed to mimic Maradona’s two most famous goals he had scored in the World Cup game against England. Messi first scored a brilliant goal after a solo effort against Getafe, before scoring with his hand against Espanyol in the very same season.

2.) Messi was asked to play for Spain national team, but decided to wait for a call-up from Argentina. Had he accepted a call from La Furia Roja, the Argentine would now have probably owned a World Cup winner’s medal.

3.) His debut for Argentina only lasted for around 40 seconds. That was the time he spent on the pitch before being sent off. The fact that he hadn’t deserved the red card was probably poor consolation at the time.

4.) You may be surprised to hear that not only girls drop their pants in front of Messi, but some guys as well. A man was so desperate to get a picture with Messi that he chased the Argentine around the airport and when he finally thought he had caught him, a clothing failure prevented him from accomplishing his mission.

5.) In March 2010 Messi became UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador and he now works with the organization helping children around the globe.

6.) While the whole world loves watching Messi from the comfort of their homes, the Barcelona star once said that he never watched highlights of himself.

7.) In the Champions League game against Panathinaikos, a Greek fan invaded the pitch only to show Messi the middle finger, probably tired of constantly watching the Argentine making fun of PAO’s defence.

8.) He won the 2009 Ballon d’Or award in front of Cristiano Ronaldo, by collecting 473 out of possible 480 votes. How do you think the Portuguese handled the results?

Since then, Messi went on to notch three consecutive Ballon d’Or awards which came as another recognition for the incredible Argentine, whereas Messi completed his collection of five coveted trophies in 2015.

9.) Barcelona signed the Argentine when he was just 13 with the scouts needing just half an hour to realize the player’s massive potential. That will soon prove to be one of the best decisions in the history of football.

10.) Following Barcelona’s 6:2 victory over Real at Santiago Bernabeu, Messi achieved the unthinkable and received standing ovation from the home fans, having scored two goals to help his side record a memorable win. Cristiano Ronaldo would have nothing against getting the same treatment at Camp Nou, but Real will first have to beat Barca for that to happen.

    It beatz my imagination how he does his things,one thing i greatly cherish in his game is chorester,and this is something Christiano Ronaldo does not and will never have,one game i will never forget is the game against Arsenal in the champions league,where he scored four goals(that’s if my memory is still in tact),and also the header against Man-Utd @ Wembley in the finals,he’s absolutely one of his kind,thank God my Eden Hazard has emerge,he also has portrayed some of Messi’s chorester,and d@z a sign he will one day win de greatest honour in the world of football,but am very optimistic d@ twill not be in Messi’s time,because for now,i between Messi and Ronaldo,de next generation will be between Neymar,Jamez Rodriguez,and Eden Hazard,can’t wait
    Ride on Leo,as far as 2014-2015 season is concerned the Balon d’Or is yours

    leo and cristiano are both football greats. but leo had suffered a lot in his life to be where he is now. and i love his footballing stlye. we cant compare leo and ronaldo. they hav written different chapters of different books in the footballing world. but leo’s humbleness and ‘not diving’ attitude makes him betr. i love him and wish that he comes out on the top. he will always be remembered as the decent guy yet a monster who scared the shit out of other footballers on the pitch. and ronaldo is one of them for sure.

    Burrna, if your comment was actually worth the time, I’d have read it. Not only is your English horrible, but you don’t seem to give any real argument. yeah, I see facts and numbers, but you’re obviously someone who hasn’t bother to watch Pele highlights, nor will you unless it is to spite me.
    Come back with a real argument that not only is worth the reading, but can also be read clearly.

    I am 62 yrs old and have seen players like Sir Stanley Matthews, Bobby Charlton, Denis Law, Bobby Moore, George Best, Pele, Eusebio, Maradonna, Zidane, Puskas, Di Stefano, Jimmy Johnstone, Jim Baxter, Beckenbauer, Muller, Danny McGrain, Larsson, Cristiano Ronaldo, Dalglish, and more. All these players could rightly have been considered the best in their position in the world in their day, but no player has ever come within a thousand miles of Messi. Having missed a quarter of the season last season he still almost beat out Ronaldo for the top spot! I feel blessed to have lived through seeing these players, but especially blessed to be able to watch Leo Messi.

    Hw is pele d best BRAD? Did u see him play? Ave u eva sat dwn 2 see his highlights? Guy dnt tlk wit sentiments k dis messi guy has bein gud rite 4rm d 1st tym he entered lime lyt, he has shown dat he is d best by breakin records dat as bein done 4 decades dere by gven oda generation of footballer target 2 reach b4 bein better dan him so stop dis pele dis pele dat. Wat was pele’s xcuse wen asked him nd maradona hu is beta nd he said him cos maradona plays wit 1 foot is dat t? Pele was gud in his days fyn bt in dis generation messi is far beta cos. 1. Advancement of football has even made t harder if u say ts a lie hw many football clubs do we ave presently? Nd hw many footballers do we ave nw den compare 2 den. 20yrs b4 nw was football a career pple wuld wnt 4 dem selves? So 4 him 2 stnd out among millions of football players pls try nd gve him dat respect cos he deserves t. So 4 me messi nd ronaldo ar world class bt messi has proven 2 b beta dan ronaldo cos he alwaz tend 2 beat him. Example El classico messi nd ronaldo(since his arrival) has both played 21 tyms messi avin 9assist wit 15 goals while ronaldo has 2 assist wit 13goals nd shots tken par does games messi has 56shot while ronaldo has 96shots so messi is a beta team player,more accurate in shots dan ronaldo nd wen t coms 2 breakin records nd settin new 1s messi is a god so u see pele,maradona nd evry oda players has had dere own tym 2 b gr8 bt dis is messi’s tenure so pls u guys shuld let him b ok

    Lionel Messi is the best. WTF has Ronaldo for Portugal? For those of you blabbering that Ronaldo is better just because Messi plays for Barca, Messi has a better record for his national team than Ronaldo. Compare the stats at their respective clubs Messi is way better. And everybody knows who creates more goals and more assists. So all you Ronaldo fans SHUT your mouth and just accept the reality. Messi is the greatest player ever to grace the game.

IN the beginning Real did lose alot to Barcelona but they have learned the ways and I can promise you this! 2013/2014 season Real Madrid will be Barcelona Every-time Just you watch. Messi is the best but please do remember he’s playing with a team that just plays him the ball if you thing I’m wrong then why did David Villa leave? right… so lets think about that for a sec

    Neymar will get mature in a culb like Barcelona. His skill are promising and only in the field will he show if he came to be one of the greatest. Neymar you need to play as a team and not as a one-mans game like you are acostumed at Santos Club. Leonel Messi is the Best in the World, he has proven his mastery in soccer. We can learn from him. Long Live Messi. You are # 1. Here at Belize, Central America we proclaim you the best ever!!!

    Messy, Ronaldo both r great footballer in this time. But they only play well in club football. They will be world class if they play well in their national team, then they can take place with Pele, Maradona, Ronaldo(Brasil) and others.. Always Balon D R could not proved a world class footballer. There is a Huge difference between Club Football & International Football…….

    I think Messi is regarded as a great since he is a great person who is honored and respected by most of his opponent players and coaches. Humility is his great virtue and never try to show off. That’s why spain coach hailed him world’s best player while he had xavi, iniesta, villa, ches in his pocket.

    Messi is no doubt the best. Have you noticed that he is almost always on target and hardly ever ballons the ball? In comparison, Ronaldo is good but he can easily be marked out of a game, not Messi. In case you want to argue, go back and watch the 2009 champions league final between Barcelona and Man U at Wembley. Most defenders will attest to that.

    For those Ronaldo fans, come on what have been smoking? better than messi? are you serious? compare every Ronaldo goal to messi’. Messi can actually dribble, Ronaldo can only out run you in open spaces, his strength and physical prowess allows him to create the neccessary space and chances to score. Messi is just an artist, a composer of beautiful music, his finess, his flare you (Ronaldo fans) will never fnd it in your soulless hero, who seems more like a robot than a footballer. messi by light years.

    you know i love football but what upsets me is people like some of you. i have no doubt in my mind messi is an outstandingly talented and a great footballer n a real asset to the game ,however, i am a cr7 fan n will always be , in my eyes not much seperates the 2 beside ronaldos ability 2 score from just about anywhere , his ability 2 create his own chances most of the time n the fact that he scores off is head ,dribbles with skill n beauty m can score perfectly with both legs makes him the most complete player i have ever seen …. we judging football so stick 2 that his attitude ,pride etc makes him just a human being thats different 2 messi focus on a footballers performance n that only , im not here 2 say ronaldo is better or messi is better we all all have opinions i agree with the article messi is great one 1 of the best ever i just dint rate him above the likes of cr7 , pele , henry n ronaldiniho bt thats just my opinion however ,excellent article messi is amazing

Gone are the days of Ronaldinho, Zizzou, Delima, Jay Jay Okocha, when we use to see leg overs, snake bites, marvelous free kicks and different lots of stuffs. Messi and CR are just pacy but to some extent CR shows some tricks with the ball while messi has the dribble speed and accuracy but no stylish as u ppl said. u wanna know the meaning of the word stylish, Try Ronaldinho.

    For those Ronaldo fans, come on what have been smoking? better than messi? are you serious? compare every Ronaldo goal to messi’. Messi can actually dribble, Ronaldo can only out run you in open spaces, his strength and physical prowess allows him to create the neccessary space and chances to score. Messi is just an artist, a composer of beautiful music, his finess, his flare you (Ronaldo fans) will never fnd it in your soulless hero, who seems more like a robot than a footballer. messi by light years.

    Messi is no doubt the best. Have you noticed that he is almost always on target and hardly ever ballons the ball? In comparison, Ronaldo is good but he can easily be marked out of a game, not Messi. In case you want to argue, go back and watch the 2009 champions league final between Barcelona and Man U at Wembley. Most defenders will attest to that.

    messiis the best at this time no one can match him. Ronaldo is also good but can’t go above messi cause he is the best in this generation.

    I think Messi is regarded as a great since he is a great person who is honored and respected by most of his opponent players and coaches. Humility is his great virtue and never try to show off. That’s why spain coach hailed him world’s best player while he had xavi, iniesta, villa, ches in his pocket.

    I’ve come to notice dat most of CR7 haters ar dose whose club av probably suffered from Ronaldo’s brilliancy or probably Barca fans. I jst cant seperate both of dem. There is nothin one can do dat d other cant do,so why sayin MESSI is d best? Forget about humility or attitude coz it doesnt affect u,dey ar nt ur neighbors,dey ar FOOTBALLERS!

    Messy, Ronaldo both r great footballer in this time. But they only play well in club football. They will be world class if they play well in their national team, then they can take place with Pele, Maradona, Ronaldo(Brasil) and others.. Always Balon D R could not proved a world class footballer. There is a Huge difference between Club Football & International Football…….
    I think, if I will play in RM/Bercelona, I can score some Goals like Messi/Ronaldo……………

    Neymar will get mature in a culb like Barcelona. His skill are promising and only in the field will he show if he came to be one of the greatest. Neymar you need to play as a team and not as a one-mans game like you are acostumed at Santos Club. Leonel Messi is the Best in the World, he has proven his mastery in soccer. We can learn from him. Long Live Messi. You are # 1. Here at Belize, Central America we proclaim you the best ever!!!

    Ronaldo has had very great matches against Barcelona! IN the beginning Real did lose alot to Barcelona but they have learned the ways and I can promise you this! 2013/2014 season Real Madrid will be Barcelona Every-time Just you watch. Messi is the best but please do remember he’s playing with a team that just plays him the ball if you thing I’m wrong then why did David Villa leave? right… so lets think about that for a sec

    Lionel Messi is the best. WTF has Ronaldo for Portugal? For those of you blabbering that Ronaldo is better just because Messi plays for Barca, Messi has a better record for his national team than Ronaldo. Compare the stats at their respective clubs Messi is way better. And everybody knows who creates more goals and more assists. So all you Ronaldo fans SHUT your mouth and just accept the reality. Messi is the greatest player ever to grace the game.

    Hw is pele d best BRAD? Did u see him play? Ave u eva sat dwn 2 see his highlights? Guy dnt tlk wit sentiments k dis messi guy has bein gud rite 4rm d 1st tym he entered lime lyt, he has shown dat he is d best by breakin records dat as bein done 4 decades dere by gven oda generation of footballer target 2 reach b4 bein better dan him so stop dis pele dis pele dat. Wat was pele’s xcuse wen asked him nd maradona hu is beta nd he said him cos maradona plays wit 1 foot is dat t? Pele was gud in his days fyn bt in dis generation messi is far beta cos. 1. Advancement of football has even made t harder if u say ts a lie hw many football clubs do we ave presently? Nd hw many footballers do we ave nw den compare 2 den. 20yrs b4 nw was football a career pple wuld wnt 4 dem selves? So 4 him 2 stnd out among millions of football players pls try nd gve him dat respect cos he deserves t. So 4 me messi nd ronaldo ar world class bt messi has proven 2 b beta dan ronaldo cos he alwaz tend 2 beat him. Example El classico messi nd ronaldo(since his arrival) has both played 21 tyms messi avin 9assist wit 15 goals while ronaldo has 2 assist wit 13goals nd shots tken par does games messi has 56shot while ronaldo has 96shots so messi is a beta team player,more accurate in shots dan ronaldo nd wen t coms 2 breakin records nd settin new 1s messi is a god so u see pele,maradona nd evry oda players has had dere own tym 2 b gr8 bt dis is messi’s tenure so pls u guys shuld let him b ok

    I am 62 yrs old and have seen players like Sir Stanley Matthews, Bobby Charlton, Denis Law, Bobby Moore, George Best, Pele, Eusebio, Maradonna, Zidane, Puskas, Di Stefano, Jimmy Johnstone, Jim Baxter, Beckenbauer, Muller, Danny McGrain, Larsson, Cristiano Ronaldo, Dalglish, and more. All these players could rightly have been considered the best in their position in the world in their day, but no player has ever come within a thousand miles of Messi. Having missed a quarter of the season last season he still almost beat out Ronaldo for the top spot! I feel blessed to have lived through seeing these players, but especially blessed to be able to watch Leo Messi.

    Burrna, if your comment was actually worth the time, I’d have read it. Not only is your English horrible, but you don’t seem to give any real argument. yeah, I see facts and numbers, but you’re obviously someone who hasn’t bother to watch Pele highlights, nor will you unless it is to spite me.
    Come back with a real argument that not only is worth the reading, but can also be read clearly.

    leo and cristiano are both football greats. but leo had suffered a lot in his life to be where he is now. and i love his footballing stlye. we cant compare leo and ronaldo. they hav written different chapters of different books in the footballing world. but leo’s humbleness and ‘not diving’ attitude makes him betr. i love him and wish that he comes out on the top. he will always be remembered as the decent guy yet a monster who scared the shit out of other footballers on the pitch. and ronaldo is one of them for sure.

    It beatz my imagination how he does his things,one thing i greatly cherish in his game is chorester,and this is something Christiano Ronaldo does not and will never have,one game i will never forget is the game against Arsenal in the champions league,where he scored four goals(that’s if my memory is still in tact),and also the header against Man-Utd @ Wembley in the finals,he’s absolutely one of his kind,thank God my Eden Hazard has emerge,he also has portrayed some of Messi’s chorester,and d@z a sign he will one day win de greatest honour in the world of football,but am very optimistic d@ twill not be in Messi’s time,because for now,i between Messi and Ronaldo,de next generation will be between Neymar,Jamez Rodriguez,and Eden Hazard,can’t wait
    Ride on Leo,as far as 2014-2015 season is concerned the Balon d’Or is yours
