Lionel Messi: The One Who Was Destined for Greatness

Lionel Messi is undoubtedly a dominant force in World Football and you might know that this star player was once a malnourished child suffering from poverty before some Barcelona insiders discovered his unmatched talent and gave Lionel Messi his first contract on a tissue paper.

The club offered him money, medical care and unintentionally, an opportunity to achieve greatness. Lionel Messi accepted the offer and the rest is history. His name became synonymous with modern football. Maradona himself declared Messi as his successor in football and the player is living upto the expectations.

From being the youngest top scorer for Barcelona to be the youngest player to clinch a hat trick of Ballon d’Or, Lionel Messi has done it all. He has come a long way from being a child with growth hormone deficiency to being one of the highest paid athletes in the world and Barcelona has given us present by uploading an unseen video where Lionel Messi can be seen developing his skills or we can say showing his dazzling skills because you are going to see will prove that Lionel Messi was destined for greatness and to take World Football to new heights.

It can be seen clearly that Lionel Messi is giving other junior players, who are almost double his size, a run for their money and is leaving the defenders bamboozled. He is dribbling the ball easily past most of his opponents while netting some sublime goals.

Barcelona has created a statue of “greatness” in the form of Lionel Messi, making him a standard to measure the worth of every other footballer, including Cristiano Ronaldo. However, there is no denying the fact that when it comes to driving runs and mesmerizing footwork, Cristiano Ronaldo has also redefined the meaning of perfection.

In short, Lionel Messi vs Cristiano Ronaldo is a never ending debate and one should acknowledge both players when it comes to being the best in Football.
