So Messi just won his 8th Ballon d’Or, the highest in the history of football by miles. But when asked if he thinks he is the best player in the history of football, his response was- “I don’t know if I’m the best player in history or not, but to be among the best is a great honor”.
How can a man be so humble, given all the accolades he has achieved, and the un-humanly performances he has given over the years? There are players who are not half his worth, who don’t hesitate for a second before boasting themselves as the self-proclaimed GOAT.
I guess even personality-wise, Messi is out of this world, just like he is on the pitch.

- Na. He has a great PR team and he is disciplined enough to follow their advice. He is also quite dim, so he probably tries to speak the minimum so his mmmmmm dimness isn’t as exposed.
- It was a dream move for him for plenty of reasons; not the least being that he has been given a franchise in the MLS, access to the US (and what that means politically/culturally for him and his family) and of course, stupid amounts of money for basically making an appearance at games.
