Celebrated as the greatest soccer player in the history of the game, Lionel Messi’s record-breaking career is a story of unprecedented goals and glory. The Inter Miami CF and Argentina superstar’s remarkable achievements have made him one of the world’s most famous athletes and a player who is always synonymous with entertainment, style and passion. When Messi joined MLS in the summer of 2023, his transfer to Inter Miami made headlines worldwide and with his first full league season starting in February, renewed Messi mania is set to sweep America. The thousands who descended on the stadiums during the Herons’ global preseason tour to catch a glimpse of the club captain only underlined the Argentinian’s incredible popularity. No one has been named FIFA World Player of the Year more than the eight times Messi has won the coveted award, while his seven Ballon d’Or triumphs are also a record. The scorer of more than 800 goals for club and country, he captained Argentina to victory at the 2022 World Cup and boasts more than 40 major domestic and international winner’s medals in his extraordinary personal collection. THIS BOOK CELEBRATES A ONCE-IN-A-LIFETIME GENIUS AND HIS DAZZLING CAREER, CHARTING HOW LIONEL MESSI REWROTE THE SPORT’S RECORD BOOKS AND REDEFINED HOW SOCCER COULD BE PLAYED.
