Messiánico

Why play soccer if not to be happy? With four Champions League, the 2021 Copa América, the record for goals by a player for a South American team and a move to PSG, the best footballer on the planet had already breathed new life into his career, but now he has also conquered the only great missing trophy: the World Cup.To get to know and understand this extraordinary figure, Sebastián Fest and Alexandre Juillard traveled the world: from Qatar to Brazil, passing through South Africa, Germany, China, Switzerland, Russia, the United Kingdom and, of course, Spain and Argentina. They spoke with his family, with those who saw him grow in Rosario and Barcelona, with his teammates, with those responsible for his physical preparation, with his former managers and doctors, with the journalists who follow him obsessively and with his rivals. Messiánico breaks down the football reasons that make Messi a unique player, but also the disputes between the agents and the family, some myths of his official history, the role of Antonela, the controversial management of his fortune and his image, and this new and glorious stage after his great triumph with the Argentine National Team. A character who, at the peak of his career, has opened up to the world and, above all, has regained his joy and today has fun and has fun playing football.
