No matter the titles, trophies and honors, Leo will always be the boy who grew up in Rosario, Santa Fe, Argentina. It was there that Leo learned to walk just to be able to chase a dream. But being smaller forced him to be faster. Disbelievers, critics and naysayers made him more determined than ever. With the support of his family he moved to Spain with the chance to play for Barca. It was an oppo
rtunity to be the player that Leo always dreamed he could be. Football still means exactly the same to him. He can only think of the next game, of giving all he have got for Barcelona and for Argentina. It's an honor and a responsibility to be considered the best player in the world, but he would not be where he is without my team mates of Barcelona and the National Team. It is for them, his family and fans that keep working hard. He also understand the special and important role of a public figure and how he can help those in need. That is why Leo's family and he created the Leo Messi Foundation. Putting smiles on the faces of disadvantaged children and helping them maintain hope is always one of his greatest achievements.
