Lionel Messi, the young Argentine right winger has in all honest usurped all the glory that once belonged to amazing midfielder Brazilian Ronaldinho. Both the players play hand in hand for Barcelona FC. With Ronaldinho out of form, Lionel Messi took charge and blazed forth on the pitch scoring goals and gifting his side the much needed wins. He thus slowly came to occupy the slot in the hearts of millions of fans that once belonged to Ronaldinho.

In fact, he has come to be adored as the new ‘Messi’ah of the game. True to his brilliant form, at Barcelona Lionel Messi is treated as a shepherd without who the Catalan flock seems to get lost in the wilderness of defeats. In spite of the roaring accolades in the press, Lionel Messi silently does his job and “prefers to do his talking on the pitch.”

At twenty, Lionel Messi the brilliant footballer has plenty of years before him. With his head firm on the shoulders he rightly said, “I want to keep on learning and the thing is to help the team as much as possible.” If Lionel Messi nurtures his passion for the game and maintains the same spirit of enthusiasm that has so far come to be admired by Barcelona officials and fans then the sky is indeed the limit for this amazing striker.
