Lionel Messi ranks No. 27 on The Guardian\'s Top 100 list for 2024. This marks the first year Messi has been outside the top-10 since the publication began the annual list back in 2012. Messi was ranked 10th in 2023 and No. 1 as recently as 2022 when he was coming off his World Cup win.
Messi, 37, helped lead Argentina to the Copa America title and was MVP of the MLS.
Messi\'s contract with Inter Miami expires in 2025 and it remains to be seen whether he will play in the 2026 World Cup.
