Widely regarded as the greatest player in history, the unassuming Argentina forward became a Barcelona legend winning a succession of La Liga and Champions League titles while breaking goal-scoring records practically every season. He's been named FIFA Ballon D'Or winner a record seven times, and joined Paris Saint-Germain from Barcelona in 2021. At international level, Messi led Argentina to Copa America glory in 2021 and followed it up with a World Cup triumph in 2022, being named player of the tournament in Qatar.
