Marca (newspaper)
announced that it will pay tribute to Messi at home in Miami on Oct. 17 (local time) with an award ceremony for Messi to present
special prize
A career like Messi's deserves special recognition, as does the award that Marca will give to Messi, the best of the best and the first of the first, writes Marca. Messi has won 46 crowns since starting his career, a record in world soccer history. This award from this newspaper only proves that we have before us not only a legend, but the greatest legend in the history of soccer.
His addition to Miami International has revolutionized MLS and has been a huge boost to the American league since it was confirmed that Lionel Messi would be leaving Paris to join David Beckham's side. His arrival has multiplied interest in the tournament. In addition, Messi continues to show mastery in every game: goals, assists, pure magic in every game.
Messi will always be remembered as a Barcelona player. For so many years, Messi has scored so many goals and won so many titles in a Barcelona shirt that he has left an indelible history at the Camp Nou. This is where it all started, from his debut against Espanyol in 2004 until now, we have never stopped witnessing players making history.
If we talk about the riches left behind, what better memory than the 2022 World Cup in Qatar? It was the biggest moment of his career so far and he won the trophy he had been dreaming of.
But let's not forget that he also won his second Copa America with Argentina this summer. He also won the MLS Supporters' Shield with Miami International earlier this month.
All that and more, and he's the number one player. He is Lionel Andrés Messi Cusitini.
