Even though he is among the most well-known players in the world, Lionel Messi is nonetheless eager to meet one particular sporting icon.
Throughout his incredible 20-year career, Messi has solidified his place in history as one of the best soccer players of all time. In 2022, he led Argentina to their first World Cup in 36 years.
While winning 11 Spanish titles, 2 French titles, 4 Champions Leagues, the Copa America, and the World Cup, the eight-time Ballon d’Or winner scored an incredible 862 goals in 1,118 career games.
While playing for Inter Miami in the Major League Soccer, one of the biggest names in soccer is Lionel Messi.
However, the Barcelona icon has yet to meet a major celebrity, despite being an all-time great and having met a plethora of famous people in many other sports.When questioned by ESPN Argentina about his dream meeting, Messi said, “From the sports world, I would like to have a photo with [Michael] Jordan — meet him and have a photo with him.”
After 20 years in the NBA, Jordan is still considered one of the all-time greats.
Off the court, the Chicago Bulls icon became a cultural phenomenon because to his ‘Air Jordan’ Nike brand, which is still very popular today. He also won six NBA championships with the team.
Along with being a 14-time All-Star, he was also awarded NBA MVP six times.When questioned by ESPN Argentina about his dream meeting, Messi said, “From the sports world, I would like to have a photo with [Michael] Jordan — meet him and have a photo with him.”

We both grasped the issue, he explained after speaking with [U23 coach Javier Mascherano]. Because we are in the Copa America, it is difficult to consider the Olympics at this time. Two or three months would pass without my participation in the club, and the most important thing is that I am not yet of an age to be involved in everything.
Playing in two consecutive tournaments would be too much for me, so I’ll have to pick and choose. Being able to compete in and win the Olympics alongside Masche was an incredible blessing. As far as football is concerned, it was a fantastic event. Recollections from the Olympics and the U20, experiences I will always preserve.
