This is about a man who defied all the odds and conquered the minds of everyone around the world.

This is also the man who taught me the true definition of success. I have heard different definitions and ways of interpretation of success.

Messi showed the world that a person could be called successful when everyone (even those living in the opposing team's countries) is praying for you to win a big trophy like the world cup. He showed us the rewards for humility are exponential. I literally watched all the finals where Messi played from 2010 onwards (yeah, every single one of them).

I was never a true soccer fan until I saw Messi play for the first time.

If you ask me about the most heartbreaking moment in the last 20 years, I will show you these three photos.

Only the best of the best can achieve the remarkable feat of bringing happiness into a billion people's lives. Messi, in my opinion, is truly the definition of GOAT.

Where are my Lionel Messi fans out there? Ronaldo fans step aside, this book is a must read for us Futbol fans, especially those with immaculate taste in talent and class. This biographical book about Argentine superstar soccer player Lionel Messi is a must read for any elementary school classroom. Arguably one of the most celebrated and respected athletes in our time, students will most likely know about him as a Barcelona FC player. This book speaks about his upbringing in Rosario, Argentina as well as the path he took to get to Spain, in addition to all of his success playing for the Barcelona football club. In my school, on any given day, one can find a Messi shirt amongst the students playing soccer outside. He is a legend for many of our students, so this book would be extremely captivating and interesting for them. At an age range of 7-11, it is accessible for many students and the high-interest nature will naturally push students to tackle a harder text. Filled with awesome real-life photos, this book will maintain the attention of Messi fans all over the world. A perfect book to teach biographies or to use as a mentor text to teach nonfiction text features such as captions, diagrams, charts, headings, etc. I read this book on Epic!

This book was a biography about Lionel Messi. He is one of the best soccer players in the world and this book tell you about how his early life was as to when he played in Newell's Old Boys and when he had to move at age 13 to Spain. Also when he was little he discovered what his boy had that made him not grow as tall as other kids. Also in the book it says when he was called the flea when playing since he is short and he ran fast. I recommend this book since it really gives good facts about the soccer player so the book is interesting.

High-interest biography about one of the world's most recognized soccer players. Messi led his team FC Barcelona to several world championships and received the FIFA Ballon d'Or award five times. Messi is a positive role model and stresses the importance of hard work, exercise and good nutrition. Messi was the first Barcelona player to be named a United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) goodwill ambassador. Learn about Messi’s life on and off the field.

This book was a biography on Lionel Messi. He is one of the best Football players in the world and he got there because of his determination he also grew up in a very poor neighbourhood and this just proves that money doesn’t always buy you success this book tells you about his struggles he went through growing up when he was young. He played in Newell’s Old Boys and when he had to move at the age of 13 to Spain. Also when he was little he discovered he had a height disease Thea made him not grow as tall as the other kids. Also in the book it says he was called the flea when playing he is shirt,skilful and he can run very fast. I would definitely recommend this book to anybody that is interested in football or anyone wanting to learn more about Lionel Messi’s childhood. I would recommend this to anyone that likes Lionel Messi because it is he is not just a good Footballer he also has a awesome personality.
