They considered him better than Lionel Messi, he was able to win a World Cup and he got bored with soccer. He now sells coffee.

Lionel Messi made history at the World Cup in Qatar and confirmed that he is the best player of all time. However, when he started in the Argentine team, he failed to start as a starter. The footballer who was above the top winner of the Ballon d'Or, in the Sub-20 of the Albiceleste, failed to stand out at a professional level, but he can say that Leo was his substitute. Currently he sells coffee.

At 35 years old, the PSG striker played a spectacular World Cup, where he scored seven goals, gave three assists and was chosen as the best player in the competition. However, when he started his way in the National Team he was not a starter.

When he was summoned for the 2005 U-20 World Cup, which took place in the Netherlands, La Pulga was a substitute for an element that failed to stand out at a professional level, although he managed to win the cup with Leo Messi. This is Pablo Vitti.

The former Argentine soccer player can say that Messi was his substitute. During the aforementioned tournament, Vitti started as a starter, but throughout the tournament the talent of the current offensive player from Paris Saint Germain prevailed, who ended up as a figure in the competition.

What category is he in today?

After sharing a dressing room with the best in the world and having won the U-20 World Cup, Vitti failed to have an outstanding career. He played for Rosario Central, Independiente de Avellaneda and Banfield. Outside the country he was in Peru, Canada, Ukraine, Ecuador, Mexico and Greece. After his retirement, the former midfielder dedicated himself to representing players and runs a cafeteria in Rosario.
