Argentina famously won the FIFA World Cup last year, defeating France on penalties in the final. Messi completed his trophy cabinet by winning the only title that had eluded him his entire career. As a result, he was named one of the 100 most influential people on the planet in 2023.
Lionel Messi’s goal-scoring records and championship wins are self-evident. What strikes me about Messi, 35, is his consistent greatness over such a long period of time. This is extremely difficult to achieve and then sustain.
His angular passes are works of art, and he dribbles like a magician. Federer wrote to Messi, His awareness and anticipation are almost beyond comprehension.
The retired tennis player also revealed that Argentine footballers such as Diego Mradona and Gabriel Batistuta were his childhood idols.
