NAME: MIGUEL CARRIL SNCHEZ

LIONEL MESSI
His name is Lionel Andrs "Leo" Messi is an Argentine professional soccer player who
plays as a forward for Spanish club Barcelona and the Argentina national team. Lionel
Andrs Messi was born on June 24, 1987 in Rosario, Santa Fe, the third of four children of
Jorge Messi, a steel factory manager, and his wife Celia Cuccittini, who worked in a
magnet manufacturing workshop. On his father's side, he is of Italian and Spanish heritage,
the great-grandson of immigrants from Marche and Catalonia, and on his mother's side, he
is of primarily Italian descent. Growing up in a tight-knit soccer-loving family, "Leo"
developed a passion for the sport from an early age, playing constantly with his older
brothers, Rodrigo and Matas, and his cousins, Maximiliano and Emanuel Biancucchi, both
of whom became professional soccer players. Since 2008, when he was 20, Messi has been
in a relationship with Antonella Roccuzzo, a fellow native of Rosario. He has known
Roccuzzo since he was five years old, as she is the cousin of his best friend since
childhood, Lucas Scaglia, who is also a soccer player. Messi and Roccuzzo have two sons:
Thiago (born 2012) and Mateo (born 2015). To celebrate his partner's first pregnancy,
Messi placed the ball under his shirt after scoring in Argentina's 40 win against Ecuador
on June 2, 2012, before confirming the pregnancy in an interview two weeks later. Thiago
was born in Barcelona on November 2, 2012, with Messi attending the birth after being
given permission by Barcelona to miss training. In April 2015, Messi confirmed on
Facebook that they were expecting another child. He missed training ahead of a match
against Atltico Madrid to attend the birth of his second son, Mateo, on September 11, 2015
in Barcelona. Hes often considered the best player in the world and rated by many in the
sport as the greatest of all time, Messi is the only soccer player in history to win five FIFA
Ballons d'Or, four of which he won consecutively, and the first player to win three
European Golden Shoes. With Barcelona he has won eight La Liga titles and four UEFA
Champions League titles, as well as four Copas del Rey. A prolific goalscorer, Messi holds
the records for most goals scored in La Liga, a La Liga season (50), in a year (91), a single
season (73), and a Champions League match (5), and most Champions League seasons (5).
I chose him because he is a humble and modest person who inspire confidence and he
doesnt care who help, an example of that is, in 2007, Messi established the Leo Messi

Foundation, which aims to help children and teenagers at risk especially in the areas of
education and health.
