It is often associated, rightly so, with the number 10 which has adorned its back for many years. Lionel Messi and 10 is an association that happens almost automatically. Lifting the first World Cup of his career, the Argentine once again donned the number 10 flocked jersey.
However, in the conquest of this coronation, it is another number that seems to have brought him luck. And it’s… 13.
The PSG player has indeed scored 13 goals in his career in the World Cup (in 26 games), in the Copa America (in 34 games) and in Ligue 1 (in 39 games). He then won the Copa America and the World Cup title as he scored 13 goals in the history of the tournament.
A nice resemblance that will make more than one smile and that will fascinate the most superstitious.
