Description
Lionel Messi ha vuelto a ser feliz. Y para qué jugar al fútbol si no es para ser feliz? Con cuatro Champions League, la Copa América 2021, el récord de goles de un jugador para una selección sudamericana y el pase al PSG, el mejor futbolista del planeta ya le había insuflado nueva vida a su carrera, pero ahora además ha conquistado el único gran trofeo que le faltaba: la Copa del Mundo. Para conocer y comprender a esta figura extraordinaria, Sebastián Fest y Alexandre Juillard recorrieron el mundo: de Qatar a Brasil, pasando por Sudáfrica, Alemania, China, Suiza, Rusia, el Reino Unido y, por supuesto, España y Argentina. Hablaron con su familia, con quienes lo vieron crecer en Rosario y Barcelona, con sus compañeros de equipo, con los responsables de su preparación física, con sus exrepresentantes y médicos, con los periodistas que lo siguen obsesivamente y con sus rivales. Messiánico desmenuza las razones futbolísticas que hacen de Messi un jugador único, pero también las disputas entre los agentes y la familia, algunos mitos de su historia oficial, el papel de Antonela, el polémico manejo de su fortuna y su imagen, y esta nueva y gloriosa etapa después de su gran triunfo con la selección argentina. Una biografía completa y reveladora, con aspectos desconocidos e intimidades inesperadas de una vida y una carrera inigualables. Un personaje que en lo más alto de su recorrido se ha abierto al mundo y que, por encima de todo, ha recuperado la alegría y hoy se divierte y divierte jugando al fútbol.
