𝗠𝗘𝗦𝗦𝗜’𝗦 𝗛𝗘𝗔𝗗𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗔𝗕𝗜𝗟𝗜𝗧𝗬? 𝗔𝗡𝗢𝗧𝗛𝗘𝗥 𝗙𝗢𝗢𝗧𝗕𝗔𝗟𝗟 𝗠𝗬𝗧𝗛. 🐐🇦🇷

Because of his 1.70m height, Lionel Messi’s heading ability is often overlooked. And since he takes most of his team’s set-pieces, he is rarely the player waiting inside the box for a header.

But when the opportunity comes, Messi has repeatedly shown that 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗳𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗴 can matter far more than height.

He has scored more than 30 headed goals throughout his career.

The ultimate example came in the 2009 Champions League final in Rome. At just 1.70m, Messi rose above Manchester United’s defence to meet the ball, with Rio Ferdinand and the 6'6" Edwin van der Sar left watching as his header found the net.

Fast-forward to today’s Campeones Cup. Messi produced another reminder of that old heading magic, this time beating Colombian defender Willer Ditta in the air despite the significant height difference.

Messi doesn’t need to constantly position himself inside the box to threaten with his head.

𝗪𝗛𝗘𝗡 𝗛𝗘 𝗗𝗢𝗘𝗦, 𝗛𝗜𝗦 𝗧𝗜𝗠𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗗𝗢𝗘𝗦 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗥𝗘𝗦𝗧. So, “Messi is weak in the air”? 𝗝𝗨𝗦𝗧 𝗔𝗡𝗢𝗧𝗛𝗘𝗥 𝗠𝗬𝗧𝗛. 🐐

Today marks 26 years since this iconic photograph was taken by Jorge Messi in Room 546 of the Hotel Catalonia, with Plaza España in the background.

The boy in the picture is Lionel Andrés Messi. Just 13 years old, he had travelled more than 10,000 kilometres from Rosario to Barcelona with his father, carrying one dream: to earn a chance at La Masia.

“Vino para una prueba de 15 días con Barcelona y sobraron 14.”

— Carles Rexach, the man who signed him.

What followed became football history.

🔵🔴 𝗟𝗜𝗢𝗡𝗘𝗟 𝗠𝗘𝗦𝗦𝗜 𝗔𝗧 𝗕𝗔𝗥𝗖𝗔
⚽ 672 goals — club's all-time top scorer
🎯 268 assists — club's all-time top assist provider

🏆 35 trophies — most in club history

A 13-year-old from Rosario arrived in Barcelona looking for an opportunity. He left behind a legacy that may never be repeated.

Matías Manna, an analyst of the Argentina national team, shared a beautiful tribute to Messi on Instagram — reflecting not only on Leo the player, but on the footballing identity he helped Argentina rediscover.

“Leo, I love hearing how you see and feel the game: ‘Now we make 10 passes and the goal will come, stay calm. Let’s play.’”

Manna recalled Messi’s words about Argentina finding midfielders who had previously played as No.10s, keeping possession, losing fewer balls and gradually becoming stronger.

“𝗪𝗲 𝗯𝗲𝗰𝗮𝗺𝗲 𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘀𝗲𝗹𝘃𝗲𝘀 𝗮𝗴𝗮𝗶𝗻.”

And for Manna, that is perhaps one of the most important parts of Messi’s legacy.

“During this FIFA window, your farewell, one of the many parts of your legacy, I hope is that the Argentina National Team continues to represent that way of playing, that style.”

He described an Argentina built around the ball: short passing, players coming close to the ball, numerical superiority in midfield and creating the conditions for No.10s to thrive.

A style he calls “La Nuestra” — Argentina’s own identity.

Manna hopes that at the AFA training complex that now bears Messi’s name, Argentina will continue developing that football every day, so that 15 or 20 years from now, the team will still be recognizable for the way it plays.

“In a game that is becoming increasingly physical, filled with runners, transitions and wing-backs, I believe you represent this kind of football, one that is becoming endangered.”

And then comes the line that perhaps captures Messi’s legacy best:

“It will be impossible to see someone like you again, but hopefully your way of seeing and feeling the game will live on.”

Lionel Scaloni has announced Argentina’s 28-man squad for the upcoming September–October friendlies — a special squad, as this will be the final Argentina squad featuring Lionel Messi.

Messi, Rodrigo De Paul and Giovani Lo Celso will only feature in the final match against Benin, with the trio set to have their farewell in front of the Argentine crowd.

While much of the discussion has understandably focused on Paulo Dybala’s absence, there is another name who arguably deserved a place in this squad: Máximo Perrone.

The young midfielder has been consistently performing this season and has been brilliant under Cesc Fàbregas at Como. Perrone has already shown that he can handle the international level, having previously been called up by Scaloni and putting in a solid performance after coming on in the second half.

Now, with Leandro Paredes not included and Argentina beginning to prepare for a new era, this felt like the perfect opportunity to bring in a promising young defensive midfielder like Perrone.
