Lionel Messi; I only wanted to play for Newell's [Old Boys] or become a PE teacher

As a 13-year old, Argentina star Lionel Messi first ever interview prior to his move to Spanish giants Barcelona was to be a PE teacher also revealing handball was his second sport and his favorite film was Baby's Day Out.

The PSG star also said he loved listening to music and his favorite TV programme was Primicias, because his hero is his dad Jorge and his god-father Claudio. This was long before he fulfilled a career that has seen him win seven Ballon d'Or titles and four Champions Leagues. So modest in his aspirations despite his footballing aims then was to play in the first division with Newell's [Old Boys].'






Obviously the interview went viral even as he has led Argentina to the World Cup final in Qatar, where he is bids to cement his legacy as the greatest soccer player of all time. So inspirational with jaw breaking and magnificent performances from the 35-year-old who is also the joint top scorer alongside French man Kylian Mbappe as he bids to win the one trophy that still eludes him.
