Transversales is shocking portraits of the greatest dribblers, iconic coaches like Marcelo Bielsa, or even stratospheric players like Zlatan Ibrahimovic... And for its premiere of the season, RMC Sport's flagship magazine is interested in a another living legend of football. An attacker again, yet more discreet but all the more revered. This Friday evening, the channel gives you an appointment with the one and only, Lionel Messi.

"You only know him. But do you really know him?" Such is the catchphrase of this new Transversales, simply titled Léo, le film. Because through this event portrait, RMC Sport intends to unravel the mystery which, for two decades, has always hovered around the famous Argentine player. We know his exploits, his genius even on the pitch, but the personality of the shock rookie of PSG remains indeed as elusive as a ball in his feet. Sometimes he is said to be very shy, sometimes he is attributed with tyrannical behavior, especially when he was still with the club which will certainly remain engraved forever in his heart, FC Barcelona... So who is Leo Messi really?

Transversales leads the investigation, starting of course from his childhood in the poor suburb of Las Heras until his sensational arrival at Paris Saint-Germain. How the one whose small size earned him the nickname of La Pulga became a player of such great ambition? Is his temperament as balanced as the irreproachable attitude he shows on the pitch? Questions to which the RMC Sport magazine will try to provide at least some answers this Friday evening, through as always many testimonials and all the more archive images to savor like little nuggets.

Leo, the film is an opportunity to learn more about the personality of this footballer who is definitely not like the others, but also to dive back into his incredible career. His finest goals in particular, and this mythical rivalry with Cristiano Ronaldo - yet so different, at first sight anyway... - which undoubtedly gave him this dazzling motivation to break all records. Not to mention that this portrait will also allow you to discover how Lionel Messi really integrated into the PSG locker room. An appointment that any football fan will certainly not want to miss.
