Barcelona legend Lionel Messi shared intimate details of his personal life.

Lionel Messi shared some of his quirks and traits in a recent interview, in which he revealed that he valued quietness and orderliness. 

The 38-year-old eight-time Ballon d'Or winner is one of the most famous celebrities in the world. However, there are still unaccessed parts of his personality, as he is naturally reserved. 

What Messi said 

In a recent interview, the Argentina captain shared intimate details about his personality, admitting that he had weird quirks. Additionally, he revealed his obsession with orderliness.

"I know I’m a bit weird than most people in some things... I like being alone a lot,” he said, per Touchline Football. "Sometimes the chaos at home with the three kids running all over the place ends up saturating me, and I need my moments of loneliness.

"In those moments when I’m alone, I can be just lying down watching TV or a match. Nothing special, just being quiet. It depends on my mood, but very small things, tiny details, can really affect me... If someone moves something from where I left it or changes what I had planned for the day, it can already put me in a bad mood."

"I’m very structured. If I have my day organised in a certain way and something happens in the middle that isn’t planned, I’m already annoyed. When I’m like that, I shut down. I don’t communicate it; I process it inside."
