Messi is football and football is Messi

Whenever I look at Lionel Messi, it’s as if I am seeing him for the

very first time. 

It’s as if I’m looking at that young timid boy whose

face is covered by his long hair and who only cares about having the

ball at his feet. 

I see that tiny kid who went against all the odds and

became the greatest player to ever grace this game.

 He might be 32

years old, but what I see is a young 16-year-old who is hungry to

conquer the world, who never falls down and who always fights until

the very end.

That little boy, that I still see every time my eyes fall on Messi, the

player, who has given the world of football eternal smiles and

memories that will last a lifetime, broke yet another record on

Monday. 

The Argentinian won his sixth Ballon d’Or, a feat never

achieved before. 

But for Messi, it’s not about the prize, nor the

recognition, it’s about the football. Nothing else matters.

 Messi is

football and football is Messi.

Congratulations Leo, you will forever amaze the world with your

undying talent.
