Publisher's Synopsis
FROM THE
BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF RONALDO AND NEYMAR
Prolific, cool-headed and unerringly consistent, Lionel
Messi is one of the most revered footballers in history.
But did you know that his transfer to Barcelona was first
agreed on a paper napkin?
Or that an x-ray of his hand was to thank for identifying
his growth hormone deficiency?
And do you know why he refused to collect his first ever
Champions League winner's medal?
Find out all this and more in Luca Caioli's classic portrait
of a footballing icon, featuring exclusive interviews with those who know him
best and even Messi himself.
Includes all the action from the 2017/18
season and the 2018 World Cup
