- According to Messi, he has tried to take advantage and make the most of the gift he was given
Inter Miami superstar, Lionel Messi, says providence and divine intervention played so much role in his life’s journey.
Messi, who was speaking about his excitable and enviable footballing talent, said he was “chosen by God”.
Speaking during a chat with Argentina podcaster Juan Pablo Varsky, the world best player disclosed that he tried to take advantage and make the most of the gift he was given.
The 37-year-old is currently with Argentina at the Copa América in the US.
“It’s very clear to me that I was born like this because God chose me,” Messi said
“It was a gift he gave me. I tried to take advantage of it, I did everything possible to squeeze the most out of it.
“The truth is, although I did many things, I did nothing to become the player that I already was when I was little.”
Messi began his playing career at Newell’s Old Boys and joined Barcelona’s youth team aged 13.
He is the most decorated football player of all time, having won the Ballon d’Or eight times and lifted his 44th trophy after helping Inter Miami lift the 2023 Leagues Cup in August
