This Saturday, one of the greatest players in history, Lionel Messi, turns 30 years old

The Argentinean star is celebrating his birthday less than a week before his wedding, making it a big event for football fans. He has received greetings from all over.

As expected, Neymar, his partner at Barcelona and one of his best friends on and off the field, did not miss the opportunity to congratulate him through his social media. It is definitely an emotional speech.

"Leo Messi happy birthday brother.. I hope you have a great time with your family and may God give you good health to never stop playing football... because football without you is not football!!!" Neymar posted on his Facebook account, along with a picture of him and Messi standing back to back.

The soccer player is celebrating his 30th birthday in Rosario, his hometown, where on Friday 30 he will marry Antonella Roccuzzo, his lifelong girlfriend and mother of his two sons, Thiago and Mateo.

Messi arrived in Argentina with his family on June 19, after enjoying a week of vacation in Ibiza, following an intense season with FC Barcelona and playing a friendly match with Argentina against Brazil.
