Today is a special day for world football. Lionel Messi celebrates his 39th birthday, continuing to be one of the main protagonists of the international scene and one of the biggest names in the history of this sport.
The Argentina captain is enjoying another historic period in his career. In age-defying form, Messi has scored five goals in the tournament and recently moved to the top of the Club World Cup's all-time leading scorers list, reaching 18 goals and overtaking Germany's Miroslav Klose.
He is expected to celebrate his birthday at the Argentine national team's base in Kansas, in the company of his family, teammates and technical staff. The celebrations come after a difficult period for the Argentine star, who recently appeared emotional after scoring a goal against Algeria, due to the health problems his father is going through.
Congratulations for Messi have not been lacking. Through a post on social networks, the Argentine Football Federation dedicated a message to its captain, while Barcelona also remembered the former player who wrote the most glorious pages of the Catalan club's history.
" Happy birthday, captain ," was the message from his teammates to the world champions, while the Argentine media devoted extensive space to this special day. The sports daily "Olé" addressed the fans with the question: " What would you give Messi ?".
On his Instagram profile, Messi published a video showing himself working out in the gym. In the background, a song by an Argentine band called "Land of Champions" was playing, a symbolism related to Argentina's recent successes in the international arena.
During his remarkable career, Messi has won dozens of trophies with both club and country. With Barcelona he has won 35 titles, including 10 La Liga championships, 7 Copa del Rey, 8 Spanish Super Cups, 4 UEFA Champions League trophies, 3 European Super Cups and 3 Club World Cups. With PSG he won two French league titles and one Super Cup.
With the Argentina jersey, Messi has lifted the Copa America twice, won the "Finalissima" trophy and crowned his biggest dream in 2022, when he led the "Albiceleste" to the world champion title.
At the age of 39, Lionel Messi continues to break records and remain a benchmark for modern football. As many fans and sports media describe him: “ Congratulations Leo, the man who changed the history of world football .”
