Lionel Messi, current Barcelona footballer, gave an interview to journalist Jordi Évole before the end of the year and addressed several issues that caused people to talk, such as his future in Barcelona, his state of mind and much more.
In one of his most striking responses, the Argentine star told how he is as a fan and revealed the names of the athletes he most admires nowadays: “When I started to be a professional and really dedicate myself to this, the passion or the fan inside, I put it aside a bit. Today those who make me get up from the couch are my children, ha. There are three, one more character than the other, ha. “
“I admire many athletes who are admirable. Rafa Nadal, (Roger) Federer, LeBron James … I do not know, of all sports there is always an athlete who stands out and is admirable. Cristiano (Ronaldo) in football … There are many players that I can name you who give the maximum, “said Messi.
Far from getting into controversy, Messi surprised everyone and admitted that he admires Cristiano Ronaldo, one of his greatest sports ‘rivals’ of the century. However, they always had a respectful relationship and Leo made it clear in the interview. A crack.
