Lionel Messi is a footballer who plays for FCB in the first division. He is considered the best football player in the world, he has won 5 golden balls and he is the top scorer.



In which team did you start playing as a 
professional footballer? 
I started in Abanderado Grandoli, then in
Córdova, after in Rosario and in Newell's Boys
and finally, when I was thirteen, I moved to
Barcelona. I debuted in the first team (first
division) when I was seventeen.

Can you explain us something important 
about your family?
Yes, my wife Antonella Roccuzzo and I met as
children and now we've got two sons. I have
got three siblings: Rodrigo, Mathias and Maria

Sol. My father's name is Jorge.

Your first contract with the club was very 
"curious."
Oh yes, it was very curious because it was
written on a napkin on december 2000.

Who are your friends here in Barcelona? 
I'm close to my family but it's true that I have
very good friends here on the team. Now I
consider Luis Suárez, Neymar and Cesc
Fàbregas my best friends.

What is the Leo Messi Foundation and what 
is it about?
This Foundation helps children and teenagers
who are in a difficult situation. We have
built parks and helped a lot of hospitals.
When your daily organitzation allows it, do
you participate in public events?
Yes, when I have time I always participate in
charity events to collect money for the
Foundation and for UNICEF.

When you score a goal, you dedicate it to 

someone in your family? 

All the areas that aren't football (money, 

advertising, ...) how do you manage them?

Are you going to renew your 

contract in Barça?
