By

The Amazing Story of Leo Messi Who never gave up on his dreams, despite his small physique. Today, let's delve into the incredible journey of Leonel Messi.  From a small wonder to one of the goat,

The Goat of Football

In the vibrant city of Rosario, Argentina, on a sunny day of June 24, 1987, a young boy named Leonel Messi entered the world. His father, Jorge Messi, worked as a manager in a steel factory while his mother, Celia Cuccittini, dedicated her time to a magnet manufacturing workshop.  Surrounded by his tight-knit family with a passion for football, Leonel discovered his love for football at a tender age. And he played tirelessly in the streets of Rosario with a tattered ball along with his brothers and cousins. Even as a little boy of four, Leonel's talent shone brightly as he joined the local club Grandoli  where he honed his skills for a couple of years. Then at six, he joined the team Newell's Old Boys where he showcased his exceptional skills for the next six years by scoring nearly 500 goals. So far, it seemed all is well for this young prodigy. However, his future as a professional player was threatened when aged 10, he was diagnosed with a growth hormone deficiency, which affected his physical development. Due to this, he remained much smaller than his peers, making it harder for him to compete on the field. His parents, Jorge and Celia sought help from doctors who prescribed hormone injections to stimulate his growth. Though they agreed, however, it wasn't an easy journey for the family as the cost of the medication caused financial hardships as Messi had to take growth hormone injections every day. Messi showed great discipline and commitment to adhere to his treatment and continued to practice. Just when things started improving, another tragedy struck right before Leonel's 11th anniversary. Birthday when his beloved grandmother passed away. 

Though the loss left a lasting impact on him, he kept playing and decided to honor his grandmother after every goal he scored by gazing and pointing toward the sky as a symbol of gratitude for her support. In 2001, Messi moved to Barcelona, Spain and faced initial challenges due to a transfer conflict. He couldn't play official matches which made it hard to fit in with the team. Additionally, Messi experienced home sickness as his mother returned to Rosario while he remained in Barcelona. It was a challenging period for Messi but after joining Barcelona's prestigious youth academy La Masia in 2002, Lionel Messi's talent and determination began to shine as these early experiences laid the foundation for his remarkable journey in the world of football as he went on to play many records. But there was still one dream left to fulfill for Lionel Messi and that was to win World Cup for his beloved Nation Argentina. So determined to bring joy to his country and lift the prestigious trophy, Messi continued to work hard for it. And then on that glorious day of 18th December 2022, Messi's dream finally came true. In an extraordinary display of skill and teamwork, Argentina lifting the coveted World Cup trophy, it was a moment of pure joy for the entire nation and Messi became a symbol of hope, perseverance. Did you know Lionel Messi holds the guinea's world record for the most goals scored in a calendar year? Yes! In 2012, he scored a staggering 91 goals in various competitions. Hope you felt inspired today.

Top 10 most expensive cars ever sold, Number 10. Pagani Huayra Cotalunga Let's start the top of this car that was born in a joint project between Pagani customers and the Pagani Grandi Completiona department. The company's special projects division. The aim of this collaboration was to create a Pagani Huayra with a long tail inspired by the 1960s Italian bodywork. The result was this superb two-seater with doors that open in the shape of a gull. It has a 12-cylinder, 6-liter, twin-turbocharged ceramic-coated engine. The car outputs 840 horsepower and 811 pound-feet of torque and its top speed is 230 mph. Despite its large size, it weighs only 2821 pounds, which is significantly less than the original Pagani Huayra, so apparently it will take less than 3 seconds to go from 0-62 miles. Part of this weight reduction is thanks to be using titanium in the exhaust system. If only 5 units have been manufactured, all of them sold for $7.4 million even before their presentation. Number...
