Argentina’s star footballer Lionel Messi has expressed regret over not learning English during his school years, saying it limited his ability to communicate in certain situations.
Speaking in an interview on a Mexican podcast, Messi said he has many regrets, including not taking advantage of the opportunity to study English in his childhood. He noted that although he had the time to learn the language, he did not make use of it, which he now deeply regrets.
Messi added that there were several occasions when he could have interacted with prominent global personalities but felt unable to do so effectively due to the language barrier. He said he often reflected on the missed opportunity and emphasized the importance of education.
The football icon stated that he now encourages his children to focus fully on their studies, stressing that education should remain a top priority.
