We know almost everything about Cristiano Ronaldo‘s lifestyle. But about his great rival, Lionel Messi, almost nothing.
Still, Messi has a number of interesting “secrets.” How does he eat, what are his habits, where does he live? Some things were discovered by the Argentine himself, and some by his close associates.
- In my home, we do not watch television and do not broadcast TV channels. Eventually when there is a match. The rest of the time I like to watch series on streaming services. We do not follow ordinary television at all – Messi said on one occasion.
And when it comes to nutrition?
- He runs away from anything that is sprayed or in any way contaminated with pesticides or herbicides. For professional athletes, that food is ‘death’. Argentines and Uruguayans like to eat red too much. I think that these two nations eat the most meat in the world, and we should be careful about that – said the Italian nutritionist Giuliano Poser, who once collaborated with Messi.
Of course, Messi also likes barbecue, and one of his favorite things is Asado. It is a type of Argentine grilled dish, while it often chooses Italian pasta. Of course, even he can’t resist sweets.
- Ice cream, chocolate, cakes… Actually, anything that is sweet – Messi said.
Of course, he tries to spend his free time with his family, when he is not on the football field.
- We don’t have a lot of free time, but when I can, I try to spend it playing with children. We like to stay at home and just enjoy ourselves. At breakfast, I always like the whole family to be together and everyone to be in their place. I admire my wife and how well she organized our lives. She is always in good spirits and ready to help, and at the same time she is very intelligent and “strong” in many fields – said Messi.
