As a child, 'Leo' Messi found his greatest admirer and closest aide in his grandma, Celia who accompanied him to all his games and is his inspiration. By age 10, he went on to create and break many records in the history of the game. To celebrate his greatness, a beverage brand has rolled out a 360 campaign, part of which is a series of murals at iconic locations in Mumbai [Chapel road, Bandra] and Delhi [Hauz Khas Village], offering fans an insider’s perspective into his humble beginnings as a young boy, along with some lesser-known peaks and hardships of his career. To engage the football community in India, the brand is hosting exclusive virtual walking tours called ‘Path of Greatness’ in Mumbai and on-ground in Delhi. Upon completion, fans stand a chance to watch Messi play live, win exclusive memorabilia, merchandise from the beverage company, among other exciting giveaways.
Reflecting on this initiative, Lionel Messi said, “I am delighted with the beverage company's effort to celebrate my journey and bring it alive beautifully, through the artistic murals. It feels surreal to be standing where I am today. Day after day, year after year, it took sacrifice and hard work to reach my dreams. I am grateful to my fans, around the world and in India, who have supported me immensely through every victory and loss. I truly hope that fans can find inspiration in my story, just as they have motivated and encouraged me, to keep chasing my own.”
