Lionel Messi first-ever interview given to Rosario-based newspaper Diario La Capital when he was a 13-year-old academy player at Argentine club Newell’s Old Boys has gone viral on social media.

Messi is preparing to play in the 2022 World Cup final, hoping to win the one trophy that has alluded him during his career. If he does, there can be very little doubt that he’s the greatest footballer of all time.

The Argentina captain is regarded by many as the greatest player of all time. Since leaving Newell’s Old Boys to join Barcelona’s academy La Masia in 2000, the forward has gone on to achieve almost every major trophy.

It begins: “Lionel Messi is a player in the 10th division and the attacking playmaker for the team. He’s not only one of the up and coming players in Newell’s academy but has a huge future ahead of him, because, despite his height, he manages to go past one, two, dribble, score goals, but above all he enjoys himself with the ball and as of today he’s being revealed to the world.”

What does Newell’s mean in your life? Everything, absolutely everything.

Messi has surpassed all of his hopes and ambitions. While he has won almost every major trophy, the FIFA World Cup has eluded Messi so far. He led Argentina to the final in the 2014 edition, but they were beaten 1-0 by Germany in extra time.

Messi now has another chance as La Albiceleste have reached the final of the 2022 FIFA World Cup. They will take on defending champions France at the Lusail Stadium on Sunday (December 18).

Messi has scored five goals and provided three assists in six games in the tournament so far. It will be the 35-year-old’s final World Cup appearance, so he will hope to bow out with the trophy
