Soccer experts have observed that he is a total playmaker. He does not only have the speed, but also the balance, the strength, and the discipline to become victorious. Messi’s outstanding performance in this year’s World Cup opened a lot of doors for him and his team mates. Now, aside from being title holders and a rise in their net worth, there have been a lot of big brands offering them endorsements.
Undisputedly Deserving
Leo Messi is the lone player who has ever won the title “Player of the Match” in three matches during the group stage. The star player who carries the No.10 is simply unstoppable. He believes that there is always a room for improvement and that a team would not be successful if they do not understand one another—in short, there should be a solid connection between them. Even though he did not score a goal against the Swiss, he played a huge role in their win by slipping the ball to Di Maria who was successful in scoring a goal.
Incredibly Humble

Although he has been recognized as the first to win four consecutive Ballon d’Or awards, first player who bagged 3 European Golden Shoe awards, the only soccer player with the highest score in four successive Champions League matches, and holding the world record for scoring the most number of hat-tricks, he never forgets to keep his feet on the ground. He continues to strengthen their team’s toughness to prove that they are worthy of being called champions.
