Leo Messi’s Best Friends
Sergio Aguero
Sergio Aguero is one of the closest friends of Lionel Messi. They are probably one of the best friendship duo in sports history. Aguero defined the incident when they both met for the first time.
He said: “We were at a training camp with the national team. I was with the under-16s and he was with the under-17s preparing for the South American under-20s championship.
“We were all staying together, my age group and his age group. I remember there was a kid there that I’d seen on TV who was at Barcelona.
“We were all sat around the table Garay, Leo, Formica and myself. Leo was opposite me and Garay asks him about some trainers.
“Leo says ‘I got them from the United States’. So then I start thinking to myself – United States? He was right in front of me, does he play in the US?
“Then I said quietly to him ‘what’s your name again’, and he says ‘Leo’. And I said ‘No. What’s your name?’

“And he said ‘Lionel’ and laughed. ‘And your surname?’, ‘Messi.’ The other two looked at me and said ‘You don’t know who it is?'”
Neymar
Neymar and Messi were reunited after Argentine’s transfer to PSG in 2021. He left Barcelona after almost 17 years of his service, not to mention one of the most loyal players in football history.
In 2017, the Brazilian revealed about their first meet-up when he was signed by the Catalans in 2013.
“On my first day when I arrived in the dressing room and saw Messi and all the others in front of me, I thought I was in a video game. I was scared to even speak to them.”

Luis Suarez
Unarguably one the greatest strikers of all time, Luis Suarez is one of the closest friends to Leo Messi. He had been with him since 2014 until Atletico Madrid signed the Uruguayan in mid 2021.
