Lionel Messi is considered by many to be the greatest sports star. The popular football player played in Barcelona throughout his long career, and towards the end of his career he changed clubs, joining PSG.
The Argentinian did not stay long, and now he is currently building his career in the USA, more precisely with Inter-Miami.
The 38-year-old football player, who many consider one of the greatest ever, drew inspiration from other athletes, and even from those outside of football, as he stated in an interview with NBC News.
Lionel Messi had only words of praise for famous tennis figures like Djokovic, Federer and Nadal, from whom he once drew inspiration.
The experienced soccer player emphasizes that they are the reason why the competitiveness in tennis has increased and made it much more exciting.
Dominating for years in this sport is extremely difficult, especially when you have such fierce competition as the Big Three.
Basketball stars
In addition to tennis players, Lionel Messi is also a big fan of some basketball players such as LeBron James and Stephen Curry, whom he has also followed closely for many years.
Just as they are some of the athletes from whom he draws inspiration, so most today look at Messi as an idol, building a career in the world of sports.
