Lionel Messi is probably the greatest footballer to have ever graced the field of play, his skill and talent are unrivalled. The fantastic Argentine has millions of fans across the globe, who would do anything to be him. But no one is Messi and no one can be Messi. It’s time to unfollow him and create your own game, so you one day can be his competition.
