Leo Messi is one of the best soccer players the world has ever seen. He isn’t that big of a person, but he sure fights hard on the pitch and he has shown the world that you don’t need to be the biggest player on the pitch to be the best. Messi has shown and taught the world so much from soccer, and it is every kid’s dream to once play like him in the professional leagues someday.

Firstly, Messi has 41 titles, four champions league titles, six Ballon D’Or, and many other trophies that are too long to go on about. Messi has spent most of his career with Barcelona, a Spanish football team that was always one of the better teams in the world, especially with Messi on the team. Barcelona would always be feared as they went on to win their league title for multiple years in a row and often won the title every other year. As of now though, Messi is now on PSG, a French football team with some of the best players in the world and a lot of Messi’s old teammates. Messi is 35 years old and has played the game for 17 consecutive years, and has accomplished so much for the football industry.

In addition, Leo Messi has played 778 games in his life, and over those games he has scored a total of 672 goals and assisted 266 goals as well. He has the most goals ever after  Cristiano Ronaldo and Josef Bican. Messi is also left footed and is known for his famous freekicks and his insane dribbling abilities. Every time Messi is about to shoot, you know it’s going in, and if there is a one-on-one in the corner with Messi, everyone knows Messi is winning. Leo has a habit of scoring off of nearly every freekick, since he puts the ball in the top corner perfectly placed where the goalkeeper can’t get too in time. 

In conclusion, Leonel Messi is one of the best football players to ever exist, if not the best. He has won numerous titles and trophies and has led his team to numerous victories as well. Overall Messi is a great person and an even better player and is an idol for so many.
