You’ve surely heard of Messi, but what you may not know are some of the more personal details about him like his height and net worth.

Who Is Lionel Messi?

Lionel Andres Messi, also known as Leo, is the captain of the Argentinian national football team and one of the best football players in the world.

He has played for Barcelona for his entire professional career, and has the records for most goals scored, most hat tricks, and most assists in La Liga. Combined, he has scored more goals for a single club than any other football player in history!

How Tall Is Lionel Messi?

Lionel Messi is 5 feet 7 inches tall, and he weighs just under 160 pounds.

This shorter stature gives Messi a low center of gravity, giving rise to an agile play style where he can change direction more quickly than his opponents.

What Age Did Messi Join Barcelona?

Messi has been playing with Barcelona since he was just 13 years old. He began playing for the FC Barcelona under-14 team as soon as his family relocated to Spain.

How Many Red Cards Has Messi Got?

Leo Messi has received three red cards in his career, in 2005, 2019, and 2021 — two of which are still considered controversial. Compare this to Cristiano Ronaldo, who has a whopping 11 red cards in his career, and you’ll see that Messi plays with a relatively clean record.

What Is Lionel Messi’s Net Worth?

Messi’s net worth has been estimated at between $400 and $600 million, making him one of the richest football players in the world.

Forbes even ranked him as the highest paid athlete in the world in 2019! And during his career, he has earned over $1 billion in winnings, as only the second footballer ever to do so.

Who Is Better, Messi Or Ronaldo?

Both Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo are recognized as some of the best football players of all time. Their rivalry runs deep, and the competition pushes both men to constantly improve their game.

Can you really say that one player is better than the other, though? I don’t think so. Both players have distinct styles, and huge numbers of awards to their names. And even after they both retire, Messi and Ronaldo will forever be known as some of the best footballers to have ever lived.

One thing’s for certain, though: Lionel Messi’s achievements extend far beyond the football field. In fact, just last year he was crowned Champion for Peace because of his work with the Messi Foundation, a non-profit with a goal of improving the lives of impoverished youth in Argentina and abroad.
