As reported by Complex on March 28, 2024, Game of Thrones is one of Lionel Messi's favorite shows. The revelation was made public when Messi appeared in episode 16 of Big Time, a podcast hosted by Amr Adib and Assala. He revisited his love for the franchise in the approximately 84-minute podcast where he appeared alongside Jean Reno.

When asked what his favourite series was, Messi said,

“Game Of Thrones. I’ve watched it more than once.”

The revelation did not come as a shock to his fans, as the footballer had seemingly expressed his love for the franchise earlier as well. In a picture shared by his wife Antonela Roccuzzo on her Instagram story, sometime in October 2022, Messi posed alongside Game of Thrones frontrunner Kit Harrington. This, many thought, was his way of showing his appreciation for the widely loved series.
