Lionel Messi and Neymar Junior forged a great friendship when they shared a squad at Futbol Club Barcelona. The Argentine and the Brazilian formed a luxury South American trident together with Luis Suárez. However, the relationship transcended football and the man from Rosario remains linked to both of them despite the fact that they no longer share a team, although with Suárez it is very likely that he will share a team again from 2024. In the relationship between 'Ney' and Leo Messi There is a big difference and it is the Brazilian's love of partying, something in which he invests a lot of money.

This year he announced that between December 26 and 29 he will organize an impressive party on a cruise that will take place in Brazil. The striker himself who now plays for Al-Hilal will be there. In addition, the celebration will have DJ's, different entertainment shows, alcohol sales for those of legal age and a series of swimming pools that will give a special touch to the stay.

Recently, a former teammate of Messi like Mariano Andújar revealed what Messi's mentality was like. When they practiced penalties in the run-up to the Brazil 2014 semi-final, Andújar and Messi had a special session. “Leo told me: 'I'm always going to kick you high to the left and hard.' He will have kicked about 40 penalties," the goalkeeper began describing in AFA Estudio.

Although Messi practiced kicking to the left, in the definition he executed it to the right, which surprised Andújar. "In the field where we were, Cidade do Galo "There were some mountains in the distance and I'm sure he thought someone was watching him," deduced the goalkeeper. Messi's meticulous planning speaks to his level of competition, something that made him stand above players like Neymar.

Messi's investment

That sharp mentality that Messi has on the playing field transferred to business. The Argentine maintains an investment in the world of gaming. Through the company Play Time Sports-Tech HoldCo LLC, Messi invested $21 million in a startup called Matchday, according to El Cronista. This company specializes in combining Web 3.0 games and mobile games to design new soccer games, which could have a FIFA license.
