Five life lessons from Lionel Messi

#2: Loyalty

Loyal players like Messi are very hard to find these days.

Barcelona is my life. They have brought me to where I am today. I could not leave, I don’t want to leave. I know the Premier League is very good. But I cannot see myself playing in England because my heart is with Barcelona, always.

Leo Messi's quality to be loyal to his club sits like a crystal above all his attributes. Perhaps, it is his loyal gesture that gains him the respect he deserves.

On multiple times, the superstar from Rosario has turned down mouth-watering packages to stay with his beloved club. His loyalty to both club and country is exceptional above everything else. With money being the hot-dog in the present day, it is rare to find the devotion that Messi has shown to the Catalans.

In doing so, Messi proves that he hasn't forgotten the people who helped him achieve his goals. He owes it to them. Also, loyalty is one of the vital factors that helps him gain the upper hand above his arch-rival, Cristiano Ronaldo.

No matter what you say, this is something for the commoners to learn!
