Lionel Messi recently revealed that his son Thiago assisted the Argentine superstar in regaining balance in his life after “going crazy” because of sport.

Antonella Roccuzzo and infant Thiago are Messi’s two most significant individuals.

Lionel Messi, like many other sportsmen, has experienced periods of extreme stress. El Pulga claims that there were occasions when he feared he was going “crazy” because of football, particularly after personal failures in particular and Barcelona in general. However, everything has changed when Messi’s son, Thiago, was born in November 2012. In a recent interview with Barcelona magazine, the Argentine superstar revealed a lot about his daily life.

“Becoming a father helped me become a lot more mature. Thiago helped me not go crazy about football and made me think that there are many other wonderful things in life. Before, whenever I encountered failures, I I usually don’t want to talk to anyone for about 3 or 4 days in a row. Now, if I encounter unpleasant things on the field, I will return home, see the boy and everything will quickly pass. . Thiago changed everything in my life,” Messi shared in the interview.

The balance that Thiago gives to Messi may be one of the reasons why the Argentine striker has been performing well recently. Messi and his colleagues are now dominating La Liga and have a place in the Champions League semi-finals after an excellent win over PSG midweek. As for Messi, numerous tabloids reported earlier this year that he is about to become a parent for the second time, with his partner Antonella Roccuzzo in the early stages of pregnancy.
