About

Eight-time Ballon d'Or winner, World Cup champion and widely regarded as the greatest footballer of all time.

Lionel Messi does things with a football that should not be possible.

Born in Rosario, Argentina, he grew up at FC Barcelona and turned La Masia into a dynasty — then carried Argentina to the 2022 World Cup, the one trophy the world demanded he win.

The legacy
- 8 Ballon d'Or awards
- 2022 FIFA World Cup champion
- 700+ club goals

Now in Miami, he made football the biggest show in America.

"I start early and I stay late, day after day, year after year."
