To learn more about and understand this extraordinary athlete, Sebastin Fest and Alexandre Juillard traveled the world, from Qatar to Brazil, South Africa, Germany, China, Switzerland, Russia, the United Kingdom and, of course, Spain and Argentina. They spoke with family members who watched him grow up in Rosario and Barcelona, his teammates, trainers, former agents and physicians, the reporters who dog his steps, and opposing players. Messianic analyzes the reasons that make Messi a great player, but also the disputes between his agents and his family; the myths that have become part of his official story; the role of his wife, Antonela; the controversial handling of his image and fortune; and the latest glorious phase in his career following his big win with Argentina's national team. A complete and surprising biography that reveals new and unexpected facets of a unique life and career. A figure who, at the peak of his powers, has opened up to the world and, most important, rediscovered the joy of the game.
