Incredibly, he maintains the same humility as when he first began progressing through the Barcelona academy.
Lionel Messi, considering all the accolades he has received throughout his career and his emergence as arguably the greatest player in history when he hoisted the World Cup trophy in Qatar in December 2022, it is incredible that he still maintains the same level of humility as when he first began progressing through the Barcelona academy.
The recently crowned champion was sporting a pair of Argentina slippers bearing the No. 10; the slippers were a present from a fan who had created them, especially for him the previous year but couldn’t have predicted that Messi would really wear them. As he saw the private messages on his Instagram account, he was even more shocked.
“I wanted to thank you for the slippers. They are super good, and so is the box. I’d like to see if you can make one for my sons and the pink Paris [PSG] one for my wife.
