Lionel Messi’s Unique Life Habits Revealed: From Strict Table Manners to Being Barefoot at Home
Lionel Messi is one of the most iconic figures in football, known for his incredible skills on the pitch. But despite his superstardom, he leads a relatively quiet and private life off the field. In a recent interview with TN30, Messi shared some interesting insights into his daily habits, and boy, are they quirky!
The Man of Rituals
Messi starts his day by leaving the table ready for the next morning, making sure everything is perfectly set, even before he goes to sleep. And when it comes to breakfast, there’s a specific routine to follow. The entire family sits in the same places, with Messi, his wife Antonela, and their three kids – Thiago, Mateo, and Ciro – always in their designated seats. As he said, "Breakfast… everyone in their place, always sit in the same place, everyone has their place at the table, the kids, Antonela, me."
Sweet Tooth
Who wouldn’t want to indulge in their favorite foods when they’re one of the best players in the world? Messi confessed that he has a major sweet tooth, and his favorite foods include asado, milanesa, pasta, chocolate, dulce de leche, and ice cream. When asked about his diet, he humorously said, "I am very simple when it comes to meals… I like everything that is sweet, I’m in love with it. I try to eat little, but every now and then, I like it."
Mate for the Modern Man
The traditional South American drink, Mate, is a staple for many Argentine footballers, and Messi is no exception. He used to drink the sweet version, but recently, he switched to bitter Mate, stating, "I used to drink sweet Mate, but then I got used to bitter Mate, and now I drink bitter Mate."
The Unconventional Approach
And then there’s the weird and wonderful world of Lionel Messi’s personal habits. He doesn’t like wearing shoes indoors, taking them off as soon as he arrives home, no matter where he is or who he’s with. In his own words, "It’s about coming home and taking off my shoes right away, whether it’s at my house or at someone’s I trust."
Quirks and All, a Legend Remains a Legend
Despite his quirky nature, Messi remains an awe-inspiring figure, dominating the pitch and our imagination. It’s interesting to see how these peculiar habits shape his daily life and interactions. So, who knows what other fascinating aspects of his life are still waiting to be revealed?
