Argentina's captain Lionel Messi celebrates his 37th birthday today, leading his team in the Copa America campaign while enjoying his tenure at Inter Miami CF.

Despite nearing the twilight of his illustrious career, Messi, revered as the 'GOAT' of football, continues to showcase his magical prowess on the field.

Messi's Birthday, Turns 37 years old

"Cherish and relish him while you can," remarked renowned British sports commentator Peter Drury about Messi. Messi's remarkable journey began at Newell's Old Boys before he made Barcelona his 'home' at the age of 13.

Despite his long tenure in Spain, Messi's unwavering dedication to Argentina has always remained steadfast. He holds numerous records for Argentina, including being the team's all-time leading goal scorer with over 100 goals, the most assists, and the player with the most appearances for his country.

His legacy as Argentina's hero began with victories at the 2005 FIFA World Youth Championship and the 2008 Summer Olympics, where he made history as the youngest player to score in a World Cup during the 2006 tournament.
