Superstar Lionel Messi admits he earns a lot of money but lives normally like many people, somewhat boring revolving around his loved ones.
On December 27, Spain’s La Sexta channel attracted attention when it aired an online interview more than an hour long between the very secretive superstar Lionel Messi and reporter Jordi Évole.

The fact that the father is a public figure also makes his first son Thiago, who resembles his father, is introverted and shy. However, the boy got used to it and was fortunate to have close friends since childhood by his side, protecting and sharing. Meanwhile, the second son Mateo adapts quickly to the fact that his father is a celebrity.
As a football superstar, Messi is different from many of his colleagues who like to party out after every game. The 33-year-old striker’s life revolves around a small home with his wife Antonella and three children Thiago, Mateo, and Ciro. Messi confided that he likes to play with his children, play football or other sports, and is happy when his children ask his father to take a bath or ask him to sleep with him.

When asked if he knew about the consequences of the pandemic, Messi affirmed that he and his family are well aware of people’s lives, not indifferent as many people think. “We make a lot of money, that’s true, but it’s wrong that we don’t care about everything. We also live realistically like everyone else, some live like this, some live like that, everyone has their own path. We also pay attention to everything that is going on around us,” Messi said.
When asked about daily life, the Barca superstar confided: “It is very ordinary, somewhat boring. In the morning we get up, eat breakfast and take the children to school. I go to practice and then come home with my wife to pick up the kids, do a little exercise. Thiago and Mateo play soccer twice a week so we take the kids and come home at 7 or 8pm, have dinner and watch a little TV.”
Messi also talked about his family, sharing that his family is not poor, not rich, but his parents always try to give the best for their son. The Argentinian striker confided about the new time when he went to Barcelona to pursue a career as a player. At first, the mother and sister and then the brother had to return to their hometown of Argentina, leaving only Messi and his father.

Messi also admits he has lived longer in Barcelona than in his hometown and is home to many sweet memories both in his private life and in his career. For the Messi family, Barcelona is life so when he made the decision to leave the club in August, his wife and children cried and begged not to go.
Messi admits that he is a difficult person to make friends, an introvert, so he often keeps everything in his heart, does not like to share. The Argentine striker said his wife repeatedly advised him to see a psychologist and he realized that he should have gone to psychological treatment but so far has not. Messi said that he gets along with all Barca players including Antoine Griezmann, although there are many bad rumors about their relationship, but he is closer to the old people who have been with the club for a long time. Messi still chats with Suarez, Neymar and his old teacher Pep Guardiola.
