Italian football legend Alessandro Del Piero spoke about his first meeting with Argentine striker Lionel Messi, who was 17 years old at the time.
— I remember that moment well, people were already talking about Messi then. It was my first and last chance to play against Messi and it was fun.
Lionel shows the highest level throughout his career. My teammates and I talked about Messi, he was magnificent. "I even tried to hit Lionel to knock him off his feet, but I couldn't," said Alessandro Del Piero.
We will remind that Lionel Messi defended the colors of "Barcelona" from 2004 to 2021. Currently, the Argentinian is a player of Paris Saint-Germain.
