CONCLUSION

Leo Messi is a global star who works hard till date and gives his hundred percent towards his
work that’s what makes him different from other football players from his generation which
so it shows that he is still winning major trophies in the sports industry and young generation
should look towards his life and learn from his efforts and keep watching him play till he
does so as he is the GOAT [greatest of all time] of football to ever be .
