Popular Sports Pundit Gary Lineker wrote on Twitter: “Happy 33rd Birthday to Lionel Messi. He is reaching the twilight of his astonishing career. 722 games and 699 goals for a player that is creative and unselfish for others as he is prolific and deadly in his finishing. We’ll miss him when he is gone. Enjoy him while we can.”
