“Individual awards are nice, but the most important thing is the team.” — Lionel Messi
Lionel Messi is often spoken about in terms of records, trophies, and moments of individual brilliance that seem almost unreal. The goals, the assists, the accolades, all of it has cemented his place as one of the greatest footballers the world has ever seen. But if you look closely at Messi’s journey, there’s a quieter story running alongside the headlines, one that is deeply rooted in teamwork.
Despite possessing extraordinary talent, Messi has never portrayed success as a solo achievement. Time and time again, he has reminded the world that football is, above all, a team sport. His greatness did not emerge in isolation, it flourished in teams that trusted one another, worked in harmony, and shared a common purpose.
Another powerful reflection of this mindset is how he celebrates success. Rather than claiming the spotlight, Messi frequently turns toward the teammate who scored, pointing them out, embracing them, or quietly stepping aside to let them enjoy the moment. These gestures may seem small, but they send a strong message of trust and inclusion, reinforcing that every contribution matters.
