The Untold Story of Jorge Messi: A Father's Life Before Lionel Messi's Rise

Kathmandu. Lionel Messi's story often begins with his feet. With his relationship with the ball, from the alleys of Rosario, from the field of Newell's Old Boys or from Barcelona's La Masia. But the story of a great footballer had already begun before his birth. That story is of his father, Jorge Messi.

A simple laborer. The son of an immigrant family. A young man in love. A father who had already had two sons. A responsible person in a family struggling with financial difficulties. And, finally, a father who would build and run a home for his family with his own hands.
