In the video, Lionel Messi can be seen playing on the muddy grounds in Argentina and displaying the same kind of magic on the field which we have become so accustomed to seeing from him. The most interesting thing to notice in the video is that there has been very little change in the playing style of Lionel Messi since when he was 10 years old.

Currently, Lionel Messi has been keeping himself in isolation with his family in Barcelona due to the outbreak. The Argentina national team captain also donated 1 million Euros to hospitals in Barcelona and Argentine to help them in the fight against Coronavirus and along with his team-mates at the Spanish club agreed for a 70 per cent pay-cut to guarantee that the non-playing staff gets their salaries.
