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.

The situation quickly escalated when flashes from cameras startled Osimhen, prompting him to charge at the group.
Bozduman recounted the incident, saying, “I was filming Osimhen at the door with three of my colleagues. When the flashes went off, all hell broke loose. He rushed towards me screaming and tried to grab my camera.
I managed to hold onto it, but he then threw a punch that hit me in the head. My right side still hurts. He started sweating and then offered to pay me to delete the footage. When I refused, he threatened me, saying, ‘I’ll destroy you.”
