Why does Lionel Messi not have a Twitter account?

July 2024 · 3 minute read

Lionel Messi is widely considered one of the greatest footballers of all time. The Argentine wizard has broken record after record everywhere he has played, and is also one of the most influential figures in the game. Messi has over 450 million followers on Instagram. Despite his influence, the PSG starman does not have a Twitter account.

The Argentine does not have a public Twitter account because he prefers to keep his social life low profile. It may be possible that Messi does use the social media platform privately, but that has not been confirmed. Many footballers have Twitter accounts including Cristiano Ronaldo with 108 million and Neymar with 61 million followers respectively.

Unlike many of his comrades on the pitch, the PSG forward does not revel in the spotlight. The Argentine hardly ever speaks to the media unless interviewed. The only time in recent memory that Messi went out of his way to express his feelings was in 2020. The PSG man talked about his willingness to leave his former club, FC Barcelona, which he did, a year later.

Many people have complained about the Twitter platform is an unwelcome place. The networking site has had its fair share of controversies, and it might also be due to respect for his mental health that Lionel Messi does not wish to indulge on the platform on a regular basis.

The Four-Time Champions League winner lives a quiet life with his wife Antonella and their three children. Messi is labelled the “Greatest of All Time” by fans all around the world, and his performances justify those claims. The Argentine has scored 805 goals for club and country and 355 assists as well. Messi also secured the World Cup in 2022 and won Player of the Tournament in the process.

A look into Lionel Messi’s beautiful house in Barcelona

Lionel Messi had played for FC Barcelona for 18 years and came to settle there in 2003. The Argentine forward initially played for Newell’s Old Boys before making the move to Catalonia. The PSG settled in Castelldefels, a prestigious suburb of Barcelona in Spain.

Messi purchased a three-storey building, which overlooks the Mediterranean Sea for €1.8 million in 2009. The Argentine has spent €6 million on the mansion since for renovations. The house has a swimming pool and a gym to help keep the PSG star in peak physical condition. The house is shaped like a football, which mixes well with the Argentine’s brilliance in the sport.

The Football icon is currently residing in an exclusive area in Paris called Neuilly-Sur-Seine. Messi is believed to be renting out the property for $ 21,000 per month. The house is less than five miles from the Parc des Princes, making for an easy commute for the Argentine.
