Now, the football world understands just how painful that period must have been for the Messi family.

Jorge Messi’s influence on Lionel’s life went far beyond contracts and football decisions.
He was the father who watched his son grow from a talented child in Rosario into a player who would win almost everything the sport had to offer.
Lionel Messi has always maintained a close relationship with his family, despite spending much of his life away from Argentina.
And behind the famous number 10, the trophies, the records and the millions of fans, there was always a family that supported him.
Today, that family is facing one of its most difficult moments.
