Since then, Messi has gone on to achieve greatness in the sport, including winning the U-20 World Cup in 2005 and the World Cup in 2022. With his move to the United States and Inter Miami in 2023, he broadened his fan base even more. Off the field, Lionel is a philanthropist who started the Leo Messi Foundation, which donates money to children's hospitals in Argentina and Spain.
