A must read/watch: This 2005 clip of Messi and Argentine comedian Toti Ciliberto is absolute gold.
18-year-old Messi being told to quit football and become a comedian. 😭😂
Toti: “Excuse me, excuse me. Have you finished training?”
Messi: “Yeah.”
Toti: “No, no, no.. way too soft. How are you guys not going to get relegated? Let’s do something. Put these on. You know what these are, right? They’re not oven mitts, they’re goalkeeper gloves.”
Messi: “Seriously? Are you kidding me?”
Toti: “I’m going to eat this kid alive.”
They start taking penalties.
Messi: “This fucking fat guy…”
Toti: “I already saved one!”
Messi shoots again.
Messi: “The bastard saved it!”
Toti: “Don’t get mad, man, I saved it. It’s obvious, kid. Look, go over there and relax. We’ll talk alone at the stadium. I’ll see you at the stadium. I’m going to get you back on track. What you’ve got is something… top! Important!”
A few moments later..
Toti: “The Camp Nou in Barcelona… Where is this kid, for the love of God?”
Messi: “What are you doing, fatty? Are you looking for me?”
Toti: “Yeah, kid, I’m looking for you. Come on, hurry up. Let’s go.”
Messi: “What? Where are we going?”
Toti: “Come here, I’m going to tell you what your real thing is. It’s not football. Come here, I’ll explain it to you. Listen to me, kid. You’re talking to a guy who knows about this…”
Messi: “What are you talking about, fatty? You know less about football than Billiken.” (Billiken was a famous Argentine children’s magazine.)
Toti: “Listen to me. Here’s the deal: you need to work in television.”
Messi: “Me?”
Toti: “You need to work in television.”
Messi: “How? Where?”
Toti: “With Tinelli.”
Messi: “Who sent you, fatty? You think you’re going to take me away from football so I can go work with Tinelli? You’re crazy!”
Toti: “I’m going to make you an actor.”
Messi: “An actor?”
Toti: “Look, kid, with that face of yours you could even be in a soap opera. Come with me.”
Toti: “Good evening, Argentina! We’re here in Catalonia, at Barcelona’s stadium, for this final beautiful ShowMatch program. Mr. Humor! Look who we have with us, Mr. Humor! A big round of applause for Mr. Humor! Very well. Tell me, Mr. Humor.”
Messi: “Juan runs less… and Pinino?”
Toti: “Juan runs less… and Pinino?”
Messi: “More.”
The joke is about Argentine footballer Pinino Más. “Más” means “more” in Spanish.
Toti: “Mr. Humor! Mr. Humor! Well, I see they liked that one. Do you have another one, Mr. Humor?”
Messi: “Listen…Ernesto cuts the grass… and Turu?”
Toti: “What?”
Messi: “Ernesto cuts the grass… and Turu? Flowers.”
Another football joke: Argentine player Turu Flores, “flores” means “flowers.”
Toti: “Great! Well, well, they still like you, so let’s have one more. Give me one last one.”
Messi: “A famous football player whose surname is a sheep saying yes.”
Toti: “Wait, wait, let me think…”
Messi: “I’ve got you with this one. There’s no fucking way you’re getting it. A famous football player whose surname is a sheep saying yes. What’s his name?”
Messi: “Meeee… + sí” = Messi 🐑😭😂
Toti: “Now, a big round of applause. We’re here with Lionel Messi.”
“My friend, we want you to send a message to Marcelo and to all of Argentina.”
Messi: “Alright, Marcelo, I’m sending you a big hug. I had a lot of fun today, and I wish everyone in Argentina happy holidays. I hope next year is a good year for all of Argentina and that together we can celebrate the World Cup that we’re going to win. LET’S GO!” 🇦🇷🥹

Se burló de 🇲🇽 y aun así ayer miles de mexicanos pagaron por verlo. A Yaritza la destrozaron por decir que no le gustaba la comida mexicana, pero a Arcángel le perdonan burlarse del país porque les gusta su música. La hipocresía en su máxima expresión. 🤡
La mejor “bebida energética” son 2 litros de agua.
La mejor “droga para concentrarse” es dormir 8 horas. El mejor “antidepresivo” son 45 minutos de ejercicio, escuchando tu música favorita.
Que nadie te convenza de lo contrario.
