Hello,
My name is Lionel Messi and I’m going to tell you all about me. I’m 22 years old. I am from
Argentina but now I live in a big city called Barcelona in Spain with my parents (Jorge and Celia),
my sister (Marisol) and my two brothers (Matias and Rodrigo). I play football for the FC
Barcelona team and the Argentine national team. I love playing football, but it is not the only thing
I like doing. I also like cooking and listening to music or watching TV with my girlfriend.
Every day I get up at seven o’ clock and then I have a shower. Then, at twenty past seven, I get
dressed and at twenty to eight I have breakfast: cereals, a glass of milk and two pieces of toast.
After breakfast, I go to Barcelona Football Club by car. My training starts at eight o’ clock and
finishes at twelve o’clock. At twelve thirty I go back home and I have lunch with my family. After
lunch, I have a nap and at a quarter past five I go to the gym. From seven o’clock until nine o’clock
I usually visit my girlfriend. After that I go home and I often cook for my family. At half past ten
I have dinner with my family and around half past eleven I go to bed.
What about you? Tell me about your daily routine!
Best wishes,
Lionel Messi
