Who are Lionel Messi’s 3 idols

La Pulga might be the inspiration of many young players and current emerging stars. But who are his 3 idols.

1. Ronaldo Nazario

Messi said “Ronaldo, the Brazilian was my idol when I was younger he was incredible with Barca and Brazil. I’ve never seen such a talented striker. He scored goals from nowhere and his kick it’s one of the best I’ve ever seen in Football. He was also a great guy off the pitch.”

2. Zinedine Zidane “I loved watching him play. He was a French hero and a great man. I’m not the kind of player who asks to swap shirts. At the end of the match I did it once. It was for Zidane’s jersey!”

3. Pablo Aimar

“My Idol was and still is Pablo Aimar. I love how he plays with such finesse. It’s all technical without ever being too much. I’m really inspired by him when I play.

He is also inspired by many Argentinians

Gabriel Batistuta, Juan Roman Riquelme and Ariel Ortega.
