It always happen with successful athletes, I just want to believe his tax personnel didn't handle this issue properly.
QUOTE MADRID (Reuters) - Barcelona's Argentina forward Lionel Messi and his father denied wrongdoing on Wednesday after the Spanish tax authorities accused them of defrauding the state of more than four million euros ($5.3 million).
The World Player of the Year and his father Jorge allegedly filed fraudulent tax returns for the years 2006 to 2009, according to Jose Miguel Company, a spokesman for the prosecutor's office for tax crimes in Catalonia.
"We learned about the action begun by the Spanish prosecutor through the media," Rosario-born Messi, who has been resident in Barcelona since 2000 and gained Spanish citizenship in 2005, wrote in a statement on his official Facebook page.
"It is something that surprises us because we have never committed any offence," The statement added.
"We have always fulfilled all our tax obligations following the advice of our tax consultants, who will take care of clarifying this situation."
Via a complex web of shell companies in Uruguay, Belize, Switzerland and the United Kingdom, income from the sale of Messi's image rights was effectively hidden from the Spanish authorities, the prosecutor's office said in a statement. Source 8

I don't think Messi should be having a film. He doesn't deserve it. He cannot be compared with Cristiano Ronaldo in terms of individual skill.
In Barcelona, he's always be supported by Xavi and (or) Iniesta from midfield. If both didn't play, he didn't perform well.

You're kidding, right? Cristiano Ronaldo is an excellent player but overrated, and is overrated because he is too concerned about how he looks after he makes a goal rather than playing the game. Anyhow, two great players but Messi is superior in skill, no doubt.

I don't think so Pandora. I admit Messi is a great player. But in individual skill, he is still under Ronaldo.
As I said, he didn't perform well if Xavi or Iniesta didn't play or heavily pressed. If Messi deserve a film, Xavi should receive more. Barcelona and Spain are proof of this midfielder.
So, he doesn't deserve a film. I prefer other legendary player such Pele, Maradona, or Beckenbauer.

Let me give you my opinion on this, I think Messi is a really good player but not at a point that some people have to exaggerate that, I find Messi and Ronaldo are overrated, in my opinion, I think every player in football deserves a film about their experience in the sport and not one or two players who turns out to be an excellent player in football.
