This is a New Venture for Leo Messi
Even though Leo Messi starred in commercials, the animated series is new territory. He is one of the greatest soccer players of all time. Messi isn’t hurting for sponsorships and has inspired all-new content with the Sony animated series. He expressed his excitement for the project and his love for animation since he was a child. From his move from FC Barcelona to Paris Saint-Germain, he has racked up championship after championship. To date, he has the most World Cup appearances with 26 matches and scored 98 goals in 172 appearances for his country. The Sony animated series will show audiences his legacy in a whole new way. Leo Messi scored 474 goals in 520 appearances for FC Barcelona, he has been part of Paris Saint-Germain for just two years. He could end up liking producing, and continue with it after he retires from soccer.
Despite his tax problems, his reputation still remains strong in his sport.
