Lionel Messi, the legend of Barça, completely freed his brother in particular and his family in general from want by becoming a professional footballer and rich.
The man who, at a young age, experienced growing pains and caused his parents to spend a lot of money on care, has today become the hero of an entire people.
Within his family, Lionel Messi has logically become the member on whom everyone can count in times of financial need, because the Pulga is one of the richest athletes in the universe.
His brother Matias Messi told an anecdote about him to explain how Pulga allowed him to realize his childhood dream when he played his very first season with Barça.
“When Messi was young, he heard me tell my father that I love the Dodge car, I want one, but we were poor.
My father used to tell me: ‘We want to treat your little brother (Messi). We don’t have the money to treat him.’
-“When Messi went to Barcelona, in his first season, he came back to Rosario.
He gave me some money and said, ‘You can now have your own Dodge.’
I couldn’t believe it. I never thought that my little brother, who had difficulty growing up and was small, and who I thought I would work my whole life for his medicine, would now be the one paying for me.
He bought me a house and many cars. I owe him everything. It is a miracle that has happened to us. His name is Leo”said Matias Messi about his little brother.
