Lionel Messi Attributes His Football Success to Divine Gift
Lionel Messi, the star forward for Inter Miami and Argentina, recently shared that he believes his remarkable football talent is a gift from God. Currently competing in the Copa América in the US, the 37-year-old discussed his perspective in an interview with podcaster Juan Pablo Varsky.
“It’s very clear to me that I was born like this because God chose me. It was a gift he gave me,” Messi explained. Reflecting on his early years, he added, “I was always different. People came to watch me. I didn’t realize it, but I only began to understand that as I grew older.”
Messi emphasized that while he has worked to hone his skills, his natural talent was evident from the start. “Of course, I tried to take advantage of it [talent], I tried to squeeze the most out of it, but the truth is, I did nothing to become the player that I already was when I was little.”
Though Messi credits his success to divine intervention, his dedication and relentless effort have undoubtedly contributed to his status as one of the greatest footballers of all time.
Captain of the Morocco national team, Achraf Hakimi, has shared his thoughts on the controversial topic surrounding AFCON 2025.

Hakimi expressed his disappointment over the situation, stating “I don’t feel proud about the image we gave off with the towels. Even though that happened, the team did well in the competition. We showed respect for our opponents in the tournament.”
