Famous people in Argentina

Hi Fran!

I’m glad you wrote to me, how are you doing? Someone very well known in my country and all around the world is Lionel Messi, the best football player, from my point of view. Nowadays, he’s famous because he plays in Barcelona Football Club, and he’s the captain of the Argentinian football team.

As we’re used to calling him “Leo”, is the only person in the world to win 5 Golden Balls and 4 were consecutive. Moreover, with Barcelona FC he won 30 titles, 8 in “La Liga”, 4 in “The UEFFA” and 5 in “Copa Del Rey”. He has the record for more goals scored in one year in “La Liga”, “La “Supercopa de España”, “el Mundial de Clubes” and “La Supercopa de Europa”.

Despite the fact that in Argentina some people don’t like him and compare him with Diego Maradona, another football player, he’s still a well-known player and the best for the majority of the country. Leo is also a lovely person even though some journalists talk nonsense about him because he went outside Argentina to play to Spain.

I hope this information helps you to make your college project on famous people on different countries. When you receive your marks let me know how you did.

See you soon!
