5 things you did not know about Lionel Messi

#3 Barcelona had to remove their Coke vending machine because of him

La Masia - The Heart Of FC Barcelona's Youth System

Today, we have become accustomed to seeing Messi as the best player on any pitch that he steps on. He is seen by many as the perfect player, someone any manager in the world would love to have in their team. But this has not always been the case.

While his talent was always on a different level, Messi did not have the best diet while growing up. He had an immense love for Coke just like any teenager but this was not the best thing for his fitness. When this came to his youth manager's attention at La Masia, he decided to take action.

As a a matter of fact, the Coke vending machine at the La Masia premises was removed just because of how frequently the Argentine magician would use it.
