'God Chose Me' - Lionel Messi Admits His Footballing Superpowers Are A 'gift' by ObaKlaz(op):
Lionel Messi considers his footballing superpowers to be a “gift”, with the Argentine superstar admitting that “God chose me” to be special.
The World Cup winner could never have dreamt of scaling such heights when kicking a ball for the first time in his native Rosario. Even when leaving his homeland for Barcelona at the age of 13, a standing among the all-time greats will have felt out of reach.

Messi has, however, become an eight-time Ballon d’Or winner and the most decorated player in history – with 44 trophies to his name – and has told Juan Pablo Varsky of reaching the very top of his chosen profession: “It's very clear to me that I was born like this because God chose me. It was a gift he gave me. I tried to take advantage of it, I did everything possible to squeeze the most out of it. The truth is, although I did many things, I did nothing to become the player that I already was when I was little.”

The "IDAN" of Football has spoken yet again. The GOAT of the round leather game. Nobody comes close.👌

God did not choose Ronaldo
Rubbish talk

The obvious fact.
It's inborn.
He didn't have to train too hard or spend hours in the gym.
He was born with it, the same way Merlin was born with innate magical powers (didn't have to wave a wand or memorize countless chants to conjure mind bending spells and pure magic), and the same way Michael Jackson was born to become a global phenomenon.

Almost effortless.

Ronaldo chose himself and added hard work to it, and God endorsed him anyway, when He saw Ronaldo's zeal and efforts. 😀

Do you have inferiority complex?

Why drag Ronaldo into a conversation that does not concern him?

Messi may be a genius but contrary to popular opinion, he works really hard.

YOU say there is no fear of Your Creator before your eyes.
For you flatter yourself in your own eyes, until your iniquity be found to be hateful.
The words of your mouth are iniquity and deceit: you have left off to be wise, and to do good.
You devise mischief upon your bed; you set yourself in a way that is not good; you do not abhor evil.
You
A DUST OF THE EARTH, a mere one at that.

my parents created me, not your yeye god... how deluded that you would believe that your imaginary god created human beings. stop showing your foolish mindset. the bible is just a book written by men with many contradiction (showing us all that its a book of fables). the day you bring concrete proof about the existence of your imaginary god then we can talk about "god"....
