Lionel Andrés Messi, born on June 24, 1987, in Rosario, Argentina, is a professional footballer widely regarded as one of the greatest players in history. He currently plays as a forward for Inter Miami and the Argentina national team. He is set to visit Mumbai and is expected to participate in a star-studded seven-a-side cricket match.
