Lionel Messi Once Bought His Neighbours' House Just to Reduce Noise

Lionel Messi was once so annoyed by his neighbours making noise, that he bought their house off them to return peace to his neighbourhood.

The PSG's career has seen him earn a huge number of individual awards and cups.

Some even thought he'd 'completed football' after winning the World Cup in Qatar, although he shows no signs of retiring just yet.

Yes, of course the 35-year-old also amassed a fortune from playing, even if Cristiano Ronaldo has overtaken him as the world's highest paid athlete, but that didn’t allow him to do mad things like buying his neighbours’ house just to reduce noise.

This report was confirmed by his former teammate Ivan Rakitic, when he was playing for Barcelona.

"When he bought his house in Castelldefels, his neighbours were a little noisy, so Leo had to buy their house so that he could be alone [with his family]. Luckily I have never had those problems," the Croatian told Novi List, via the Daily Star.

Yes, even neighbours can't resist the GOAT.
