Happy Birthday Lionel Messi

 HAPPY BIRTHDAY LIONEL MESSI: Lionel Messi was born as Luis Lionel Andres Messi on June 24, 1987 in Argentina’s Rosari. Though from a humble background, he happens to be one of the greatest footballers in the world. In fact, at the age of 11 when he was diagnosed with a growth hormone deficiency, his parents were unable to afford his treatment that costed $900 per month. He could undergo the treatment only after he signed a contract with FC Barcelona and moved to Spain. The football club had paid for his treatment.



In terms of his personal life, Messi is happily married to Antonella Roccuzzo since 2017. The duo is blessed with three sons - Thiago Messi, Ciro Messi and Mateo Messi. He is not only a great player but is also a great human at heart. The footballer has made generous contributions to several noble causes.
