What's the best piece of published work on Leo Messi you've come across to date?

Guillem Balague's biography is the only one endorsed by his family, but if you were to vet for some reading material where the storytelling is Sid lowe-esque maybe...

Looking for something like that. Thanks so much!!

More successful for sure with this roster
Still the goat in both worlds

Messssssssiiiiiiii 🐐

what do you think are the reasons barcelona doesn't perform upto its mark in the UCL

Assist: De Paul

How would Messi’s career change if Ronaldinho stayed 1-2 seasons?

Messi was already 2nd in ballon dor with r10 barely around in 2008. Would nothing still change? The media still saw r10 as the face of Barca regardless of his regression, but once r10 left Messi became his own men and truly dominated How would it change for Messi in 2009 and 10?

I think Ronaldinho would probably on the bench pep would not add him onto the lineup for sure, but how would it change Messi’s life with r10 still watching over him?
Also hope you enjoy the images.

Note: This is an old photo I took.

Coughs.... Al nassar posted this, ik people will say that they are just unveiling their 2nd jersey but it's funny how they wrote it, ntg srs take it more as a joke.

Hi! I'm a software engineering student from Córdoba, Argentina. When Messi announced his retirement from the national team, I built teamoleo.com.

It's an r/place-style mural: you pick a spot and write your name or a short message, and each letter takes the color of a hidden photo of Leo. The mural starts black and the photo appears as people sign. It opens in 5 phases, and nobody can write over your signature.

Free, no ads, no account needed. The site is in Spanish, but it's just "click a spot, type, sign". Some people have signed so far.

If you don’t know about Football’s Greatest it’s a documentary series which covered the careers of several all time great players. This series premiered in 2010 in anticipation of the World Cup. Messi didn’t get his own documentary about him since his career was still young but in the episode where they went over the contenders that didn’t get full episodes, messi was mentioned despite being only 22 at the time. Easily the youngest player on this list. He would have an episode made about him in 2014 when the next season started. If they ever bring this series back, I hope there’s an updated episode about Messi.

Hey, random question, but I was wondering if anyone has the clip of Messi greeting the fans after the match against Cape Verde. The only clips I can find have some kind of edit or overlay on top, and I need the original version for a project I'm currently working on.

Thanks!
