Since landing in the FC Barcelona youth academy at the age of thirteen, Lionel Messi has demonstrated an innate and awe-inspiring talent for football – in the process creating a sort of poetry in the game

For so many fans around the globe, watching Messi play has brought great happiness – to nobody more than Catalan writer and pundit Jordi Puntí.

In 22 short essays, Puntí explores the beauty, the hunger, the genius and the obsession of Messi – he takes us from the near-mythical scenery of a South American footballing youth, where the world is “an infinite football pitch”, to the glory and the struggle of a life on the international stage.

Jordi Punti was born in Manlleu, near Barcelona, and is a fiction writer and regular contributor to the Spanish and Catalan press. He was also a contributor at The FIFA Weekly. He has won numerous literary awards and his works have been translated into more than 15 languages. His first novel to be translated into English, Lost Luggage (Short Books), was released in 2013, and his new collection of short stories, This is Not America, will be published in the US in 2019.
