Lionel Andrés Messi is an Argentine footballer who plays as a forward for
Spanish club FC Barcelona and the Argentina national team.He also serves as the
captain of the Argentinian national team. He was born June 24, 1987 in the small town of Rosario, Argentina, when he was younger he was diagnosed with a growth deficiency but fortunately he was invited to train with powerhouse FC Barcelona that agreed to pay for his treatments. On the field they call him 'la pulga' mostly because of his height and small size. He went on to become one of the best, or even the best footballer ever known and he has shattered many world records and has won four of the prestigious Ballon d'or awards. The most anyone has ever won. Although he is famously quiet on and off the field, Messi also takes time to help others that are in need. In 2007, he formed the Leo Messi foundation that helps disadvantaged youths. In 2010, UNICEF named him a goodwill ambassador with a goal for helping children's rights across the world.

I chose this as my abstract picture because the lion represents the dominance and strength out in the open. Although Messi is a small player, he has the skills to be a threat. He is a king at what he does, like a lion is the king of the savanna. There is a reason they call him Leo right?
