If you look up to your idol, or maybe someone you admire, it is most definitely sure that they have gone through difficulties or so-called “adversity.” Going through adversity is a normal part of our daily lives—some people are fatherless, some have body issues, but we all have faced adversity one way or the other. One person that faced adversity was Lionel Messi, who showed his talent to fix his life at FC Barcelona.

To start with, according to liquidsearch.com, Lionel Messi faced adversity at a young age. He was born in a small town in Rosario, Argentina Santa de Province. If you don’t know Rosario, it is a very bad place in Argentina. It is not so safe place and is full of crime. At the age of 5, Messi started experiencing growth issues or so called “GHD.” This meant that he could possibly stop his career in football. Although he went through this, later on he proved his legacy at FC Barcelona, and he chased his dream. After reaching Barcelona he decided to try his best and become the world’s best player, although pretty much no one believed in him, he knew inside that later they would worship him.

To continue, in sportcasting.com, it says that at the age of 11, is when his condition started striking the hardest. He was explained that he must stop. Fortunately, he was offered a debut at Barcelona and proved that he was worth his price. In April 2005, he had his debut for the team and didn’t fail to impress. He later on went to carry his teammate’s Ronaldinho’s legacy in the club. He ended up becoming a big part for his club later in the future. After his debut, his worth went up to 56,000,000 euros.

Later in the present day, he is one of the world’s best players in the world. He is the best player with the most goals in a single calendar year with 87 goals. He is a 6-time Ballon Do’r winner, and has the most goals for a single club. He is the player with the best conversion rate in the history of football. His highest price on the market was approximately 180,000,000$. Today he is in borderline retirement and plays in the farmer’s league, or also known as ligue. Although he’s a good player, he is struggling to impress at his new club. Also, the 2021 Ballon Dor might be his last one. With better players rising in the horizon, it will be almost impossible for him to participate again. This is his last chance, with Quatar 2022 World Cup.

To wrap it all up, everyone has faced adversity one way or the other and a lot of people end up beating obstacles. Lionel Messi changed his life for the better and made his dreams come true after facing adversity. You can also beat adversity and get out of obstacles you don’t want to be in.
