“I’ve watched it more than once” - Messi declares his favourite movie series
The eight-time Ballon d’Or winner is in love with one of HBO’s greatest series.
Agent's Bold Prediction
Speaking to the 'Up The Villa Podcast', Bailey's agent, Craig Butler, expressed his unwavering confidence in his client's abilities, stating: “There is so much more to come. I don't think Leon has hit 40% of his potential yet."
"You've only seen 40 per cent of what Leon can do. It's about the timing, I believe that one day he will be the best player in the world. He'll keep getting better and better and one day he will be regarded as the best player in the world. Messi is getting older, Cristiano’s getting older... Leon has no cap on his potential. You've not seen anything yet.”
