Gray Area Podcast: Inside SI's Lionel Messi cover piece with Grant Wahl
Maggie Gray welcomes Sports Illustrated senior writer Grant Wahl to the Gray Area Podcast to discuss the Lionel Messi first-person essay that he helped put together.
In this episode, Wahl takes you behind the curtain to give you more insight into the five-time Ballond’Or winner. They talk about Messi's upbringing, getting HGH injections as a teenager, his rise to become the greatest soccer player in the world, a World Cup win missing from his resume, his rivalry with Cristiano Ronaldo, why he wants to meet Stephen Curry and much more.
You can read Messi’s first-person essay as told to SI’s Grant Wahl here, and watch the full film on the soccer superstar, titled The World of Messi, here at Sports Illustrated Films.
