My favourite sportsperson is Lionel Messi. He was born, 24 June 1987, in Rosario, Argentina to a working-class family. His father was a factory steel worker, and his mother was a cleaner. He began playing from an early age. Lionel is one of the most interesting and unequal soccer players of nowadays all around the world what he was loved by lots of people for. Also, there has been counted and stated about 1000 goals Messi has scored for his long career in sports.
