In a unique gathering at a restaurant, Messi’s former teachers, coaches, childhood friends, and Barça teammates, along with journalists, writers, and notable figures from football history, come together to dissect and discuss his character both on and off the pitch. Through the distinctive lens of Álex de la Iglesia, the film “Messi” revisits the player’s early years, capturing his journey from his first steps with a football at his feet to his pivotal move from Rosario to Barcelona. It also explores the impact of his separation from family and the influence of key figures like Ronaldinho, Rijkaard, Rexach, and Guardiola on his career.
