Sport
The striker of the national team of Argentina and American club "Inter Miami" Lionel Messi was recognised as the best athlete of the year according to Time magazine. This is reported on the website of the publication.
According to Time, in the summer of 2023 Messi moved to the American club, and in autumn he won the coveted Ballon d'Or for a record eighth time, which is awarded to the best player of the year.
It is argued that the superstar striker was able to have a transformative impact on the American sporting landscape, which has historically been slow to adopt football for a short period of time in the United States.
Messi is 37 years old, the forward previously played for France's PSG (2021-2023), and he played for Spain's Barcelona from 2003 to 2021, setting a club record for goals and assists. Together with the Argentine national team, the striker won the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
