#5 Weight of expectations
When you think of countries where football is a religion, Argentina instantly come to the mind. For a nation that had won it's previous World Cup way back in 1986 due to the genius of Diego Maradona, they all look up to Messi to repeat the miracle more so in hope than anything else. They just expect him to do it all alone. Also, Messi's magnificent record with Barcelona makes many of them wonder, Why can't he do it with Argentina?
Messi has also faced allegations such as not being completely dedicated and patriotic to Argentina, as he moved to Spain at such a young age. However, many don't know that Messi was offered Spanish nationality and a chance to represent Spain. But the little genius politely declined the offer showing his love for Argentina, that too, being a teenager.
