Messi: My Faith Fueled Eight Ballon d’Ors and 900+ Goals
Argentine icon Lionel Messi attributes his record eight Ballon d’Or awards and more than 900 goals to his deep Catholic faith. He says he always turns to God before every match to stay humble and focused. Messi’s journey began as a teenage prodigy in Barcelona and reached its pinnacle with Argentina’s 2022 World Cup victory. He believes divine guidance played a decisive role in that triumph. He maintains personal rituals of prayer and quiet reflection before each kickoff. This devotion remains at the heart of his routine, even as he continues to shine on the field. Most recently, Messi marked his 901st goal with a stunning free-kick that sparked Inter Miami’s comeback win over New York City FC. He thanks God for every milestone and victory in his career.
