Know which religion does Lionel Messi follow
We have witnessed many players on the stage in this beautiful game. Both players who succeeded and those who failed to do so have taken control of that platform. Nevertheless, Lionel Messi is the only player who has not been engaged in any conversation at all.
What is the religion of Lionel Messi and is he a Christian or Muslim as he wins Ballon d’Or number 8
Cristiano Ronaldo liked and laughed in the comments on a video criticizing Messi's eighth Ballon d'Or.

Messi won the Ballon d’Or for a record eighth time.
Lionel Messi, the captain of Argentina, won a record-breaking eighth Ballon d’Or on Monday, defeating Erling Haaland of Manchester City, the winner of the treble and UEFA Player of the Year from Norway. Haaland also took home the Gerd Muller Trophy for being the top scorer in Europe with 56 goals last season.
Argentina won their first championship in 36 years last year after defeating France in the World Cup final, thanks in large part to Lionel Messi of Inter Miami, who last won the trophy in 2021. The 36-year-old presently has a three-title lead over opponent Cristiano Ronaldo after defeating Ronaldo in the final three Ballons d’Or in 2017. Messi has now finished in the top three a record 14 times total, including five second-place finishes.
Lionel Messi is a devoted Catholic Christian
Catholic by faith, the eight-time Ballon d’Or winner is a Christian. Like his parents and brothers, he was raised in the same religion. The star was born in Argentina’s Rosario. A survey indicates that 79.6% of the people living in the South American nation identify as Christians.
That Messi belongs to the majority is also not surprising. Messi even has a tattoo of Jesus Christ wearing a crown of thorns on his right arm as a sign of respect for his faith.
Does Messi like being called “God”?
It’s only a matter of time before you become exceptionally skilled at something for others to start referring to you as “God.” The title serves as an honour to acknowledge someone’s brilliance in something, even though some people might not be satisfied with it. Comparably, over the years, a lot of football fans have referred to Lionel Messi as “God” or the “God of Football.”
Even though everyone is aware of his exceptional talent on the field, it appears that he objects to people referring to him as God. He stated that he is not worried by it, but, indeed, he does not like it, in an interview with RAC1. Messi does not particularly like the word, primarily due to his children, who start mimicking everything they hear due to their age.
The 36-year-old has always been grounded, and his humility is well known. Fans will regard him even more than they do now after hearing his interpretation of the God phrase.
