Where and how to watch Lionel Messi’s documentary?
There’s no better time to tell the tale of Lionel Messi than now. If any man has achieved so much in their career in such a short time, it’s definitely the Barcelona legend.

The 2022 World Cup triumph has brought Lionel Messi a lot of good tidings, with the former PSG man claiming his eighth Ballon d’Or and, most recently, the FIFA Best Men’s Player award, although many people thought there was a more deserving winner for both awards, including Germany legend Lothar Matthaus.
Messi won’t mind much, as he has a lot of things going well in his life currently. Apple TV+ released the thriller for his much-anticipated documentary yesterday, starring some soccer players, past and present, including Gary Lineker and international teammates like Enzo Fernandez and Emi Martinez.
