Lionel Messi 🤝 Timo Boll

Wonder child

Lefty

Can effortlessly switch hands/feet and still make incredible shots

Stayed in one club for nearly all his career

Is/was the mvp of said club

Loved by everyone

A true players’ player

Has won pretty much every trophy there is

Has been no 1 with 36 +-1 years old

True sportsmanship

Humble

Introverted

Can't separate him from his respective mate/coffee

Really cares about and takes time for his fans

Just a guy™ with some massive talent and a hobby

No drama, unproblematic king

Married to childhood sweetheart

Been a pro athlete for way longer than normal people

Getting retirement questions in interviews and answering them with “I’ll play for as along as I enjoy it and haven’t thought of that yet”

Most importantly: adorable af

I rest my case.
