When you think of Lionel Messi, you automatically think of the number 10 shirt. For many years he wore the number 10 on his back for FC Barcelona. But Messi has also worn other shirt numbers in his career, like before his move to the MLS at PSG.
There Messi ran up with the number 30, a quite unusual picture. But the background is quite simple: the number 10 was already occupied by Neymar, so Messi was allowed to choose the number 30, which he wore at the beginning of his career.
Lionel Messi had these shirt numbers in his career
In the early years, Messi wore shirt numbers 18 and 19 for Argentina’s national team, and wore number 15 at the 2008 Olympic Games. But since the 2008/09 season he has also played continuously for the Albiceleste with the number 10 on his back.
What is Lionel Messi’s number at Inter Miami?
Unsurprisingly, Lionel Messi also has the number 10 at Inter Miami. That shirt number is sometimes not only the trademark of the 36-year-old, but Messi is simply the star at Inter Miami. Similar to how Cristiano Ronaldo as CR7 leased the number 7 from his clubs, Messi stands for the number 10 like no one else.
