developed his passion for football playing games with his brothers

grow. But nothing was going to stop Leo from following his dreams.
He debuted with FC Barcelona in 2004 and across the next 17 years
scored 672 goals for the club and helped them to win 35 trophies.
Leo has also received seven Golden Ball awards, more than any other
football player in history, and won 4 trophies with Argentina's
national football team, including the 2022 World Cup, where he
captained the team to victory. Messi's next chapter will be spent
training under the Florida sunshine, having joined the US team
Inter Miami CF. Today, he is considered by many to be 'The Greatest
of All Time' – and is a hero off the pitch, too, as a committed
ambassador for UNICEF and founder of his own children's charity.
