Lionel Messi will, quite rightly, go down as one of the greatest footballers of all time when he finally hangs up his boots.
The Barcelona superstar is already there, in fact, and his unnatural talent has already helped La Blaugrana to a multitude of titles and trophies during his career to date.
Messi's world-class ability has led to pundits, fans and the media running out of superlatives to describe just how good he is. So the Spanish dictionary took it upon themselves to create a whole new word just for the mercurial Argentina captain instead:
A new word has been introduced into spanish vocabulary - inmessionante, which means "perfect way to play fútbol", derived from Messi's name. pic.twitter.com/0Le9ZiIB2u
As the above tweet shows, the word literally translates to "the perfect way to play football" which, in our opinion, is the ideal way to describe Messi's footballing ability.
The forward is still only 29 years old too, and has plenty of time left at the very top of the beautiful game. Providing he doesnt suffer a serious injury, Messi could go on to become the most decorated individual that football has ever seen!
