    Lionel Messi Quotes

"You have to fight to reach your dream. You have to sacrifice and work hard for it."  I think that this quote is completely true and this helped him be a pro in soccer. 

"When the year starts the objective is to win it all with the team, personal records are secondary." I think that this is the thinking that helped Messi set team and personal records and why he is such a help to his team.

"What I do is play soccer, which is what I like." I think this inspires people to do what they like and what they are passionate about. 



                          Messi Life Accomplishments

  1. When Ronaldhino left Barcelona, Messi was given number 10. During that season Messi had placed second in the 2008 FIFA World Player of the Year. He had scored 678 goals and also placed third in the 2008 IFFHS World's Best Playmaker Award for the second year. I think that this proves why Messi is arguably the greatest player. This inspires me by showing me that you can do anything if you put the time and effort into it.
  2. In 2012, Messi was given the title of most hat-tricks in the season. I think that this shows that Messi 
  3. Messi had gotten the title of most goals scored in a year. He had beaten Gerd Muller's record of 85 goals and made a world record of 91 goals in one year.
