Happy birthday to Leo Messi, 36 years old today.
In order to understand how good Messi is you only need a pair of eyes since he is much more than numbers. His statistics look pale in comparison to his actions on the pitch. But they are still more impressive than any footballer who has ever stepped on the pitch.
1164 goals and assists in 1028 games. The highest goal contributions ever for a football player. But he’s much more than goals ans assists.
