Lionel Messi
I am 33 years old
I don't know, my greatest success I think the titles, both the League and the Champions League,
the Cup,… I was lucky to win everything and I think those were my greatest successes.
I think the goal against Manchester United with a header, for what it meant, for the moment, for
everything. I think I keep that one, or it was one of the most special.
Argentine music of everything a little Kumbia, Quartet and National Rock. The truth is that I hear
about everything.
What advice would you give to young footballers who look up to you?
Enjoy football, a game, training and more when you are little and have no responsibilities for
anything, just enjoy what football is, which for me is the most beautiful thing in the world.
Apart from soccer, what other sports do you like the most?
I like all kinds of sports. I like tennis, basketball,… the truth is that I like everything.
Who is the person who inspired you to be who you are and how you are?
My family. I think they are the ones who made me who I am, especially my parents. I am a normal
person like any other, very familiar, I like to be very much in my house and lead a normal and
ordinary life.
I don't know, many times I said that if I hadn't been a footballer, I don't know what I would have
done. I never thought of anything other than not being a footballer. I always dreamed of this as a
child, it was what I liked and I always fought to get it.
Would you like your son Thiago to follow in your footballer footsteps?
Newborn obviously yes, like any father who has a son, he would like him to play football, but he
will do whatever he wants. I'm not going to put anything in it either. He will choose what he likes
the most.
