Music Is Present In Everything I Do As A Footballer – Messi

Barcelona legend, Lionel Messi has come out to say that music is present in everything he does as a footballer. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.

According to him, footballers listen to music before and after matches for club and country, and he has personally had that habit for the entirety of his football career.

Messi added that football and music will always co-exist because they are 2 amazing forms of entertainment.

On Music, “We listen to music in our everyday lives or before the matches and after the matches as well. The football environment and the locker room has music constantly. Some listen to their own music before the matches, on trips. But generally music is present in everything we do. I’ve always had that craze, of listening to music going to the games, listening to music before the matches. I think that during my whole career, it’s been always this way and that football and music coexist a lot in these moments and places.”

On family, “To be frank, I am always myself, and beyond the repercussions that my actions, my conduct may have I think the best way I always saw, is to be my own self, and obviously when I enter into my house, and my family, I try to be a normal dad, a normal husband, like anybody else, assuming the responsibilities we all have, as a father, as a husband, like anyone else, and be a normal person, like I am, beyond everything else that happens to me, the fame, the recognition I may have outside, inside my house I am a very normal person, like anybody else. I discipline the children, I put limits, play and share with them, with my wife, and I live a very normal life as well.”
