The best memes about Lionel Messi
- Lionel Messi is widely considered the greatest footballer ever
- Argentina icon and former Barcelona star is beloved by millions across the world
- Eight-time Ballon d'Or winner often the subject of hilarious memes
Lionel Messi may be the greatest footballer to have ever lived, but even that can't prevent him from being the subject of countless memes across the internet.
Whether created by Messi disciples or Cristiano Ronaldo apostles, said memes have been posted, shared and liked by millions across the world, celebrating and poking fun at football's most iconic superstar.
Without further ado, let's revel in some glorious Messi memes.
Mini Messi
The diminutive Argentinian maestro has benefitted from his lack of height on the pitch. Messi's low centre of gravity has allowed him to dazzle defenders with his ability to weave in and out of tight spaces and evade opposition challenges.
However, Messi's size has often left him the subject of some light-hearted ridicule on social media.

Messi vs Ronaldo
The battle for status as the game's GOAT has long been fought between Messi and Ronaldo, but nowhere near as fiercely as it's been fought between their legions of followers on social media.
Neither set of supporters will be swayed in their unwavering love for their hero, but it has resulted in plenty of point scoring in meme form.

Awkward Messi
You would think that after two decades of being one of the most photographed sportspeople on the planet, Messi would have grown accustomed to the presence of cameras.
But the former World Cup winner has never been at ease under the spotlight off the pitch, often looking more than a little awkward in certain social situations.
