Coming soon: A show on Messi's life

A Canada-based entertainment company will soon be making a show on the life of star Argentinean striker Lionel Messi.

The announcement was made by Messi himself on his official Instagram account.

"I am honoured to announce my partnership with @CirqueduSoleil for the creation of a brand-new show in 2019 based on my life and the passion for Football. #MessiCirque," he wrote.

This is not for the first time that the forward player has been involved in such a project.

Earlier, Spanish film director Alex de la Iglesia had made a documentary named "Messi" which explored the rise of the footballer.

Messi, who is often hailed as one of the best footballers in the world, is a five-time Ballon d'Or winner and has won four Champions League titles for his club, Barcelona.
