Everyone one who has played football had an idol growing up and for those who made it professional, it’s no different. And during an interview withSquawka, Barcelona forward Lionel Messi revealed which player was his idol growing up, labelling him as ‘unbelievable’.
Messi, who has enjoyed an excellent season in Spain scoring 43 goals, has revealed that Ronaldo, the Brazilian legend, was his idol growing up. The Argentine described the striker as the “most talented” footballer he has ever seen.
The 27-year-old has missed out on the Ballon d’Or to Real Madrid’s Cristiano Ronaldo for the last two seasons, but is expected to win it next time round after getting his hands on both the La Liga title, Copa del Rey and has the opportunity to win the Champions League on Saturday.
Speaking to Squawka, he said: “Ronaldo of Brazil was my idol growing up. He was unbelievable for Barcelona and Brazil, I have never seen a more talented forward. He scored goals from nothing, and his shot was the best there has ever been in football. He was a great guy off the pitch too.”
