Messi – 2014 Updated Edition (Paperback)
The Inside Story of the Boy Who Became a Legend
Luca Caioli
Lionel Messi is the greatest player of his generation – perhaps of all time. The talisman of a Barcelona team that has dominated Spanish and European football, and the winner of the FIFA Ballon d’Or an unprecedented four times in a row, he is fast, elusive and mesmerising.
Luca Caioli draws on numerous exclusive testimonies to tell Messi’s story, including his parents and extended family, his coaches, those who have played alongside him and even Messi himself.
Messi is a revealing portrait of football’s most exciting star, updated to include the electrifying 2012/13 season in which the humble young sportsman rewrote the record books to the delight of fans across the globe.
Fully revised and absorbing … a portrait of a young man who overcame a childhood dogged by health problems to become a global superstar.
Very thorough, with author Luca Caioli racking up the air miles in pursuit of those who've seen Messi grow.
