    Who are Lionel Messi’s parents?

    Read More on Lionel
    Since the early 2000s, Jorge has served as Lionel’s agent. He is often the go-to guy when it comes to Lionel’s career and business decisions.
    “He tries to do everything for his son. He has not learned how to step back and move aside and let other people work in a more professional way,” a source told The Athletic.
    “They are a good family, they love each other, but they do not seem to be particularly good at building relationships with people who can help them.”
    Jorge runs things remotely from Rosario and has an office in central Barcelona, with a receptionist, a German financial controller, private banker Alfonso Nebot, who takes care of his investments, and a former Barcelona employee Pau Negre, responsible for his international commercial work.

    When is the Champions League final 2023 and where is it being held?

    But when is the Champions League final and where is it being held?
    When is the 2023 Champions League final?
    The final of club football’s top-tier European tournament will take place on Saturday, June 10, 2023.
    Manchester City vs Inter Milan will contest the big one.
    City thrashed Real Madrid to reach the final, while Inter beat rivals AC Milan.
    The match will kick off at 8pm BST.

    The huge fixture will be played at the Ataturk Olympic Stadium and it boasts a seated capacity of approximately 75,000 supporters.
    One of the most iconic Champions League finals was played at this stadium which saw Liverpool pull off a sensational comeback against AC Milan before beating them on penalties.
    Ataturk Olympic Stadium opened in 2002 and was built to support Turkey’s bid to stage the 2008 Olympic Games but it lost out to Beijing National Stadium in China.
    However, the Turkey national team uses Ataturk Olympic Stadium as their home venue.
    Reports from the Daily Mail have claimed that Uefa “have held talks about moving” the showpiece to Lisbon’s Stadium of Light in Portugal.
    This is due to growing concerns that there could be civil disturbances if president Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s two-decade reign ends.
    Uefa “would be extremely reluctant to switch the final” for a second-year running.
    But they “may be forced to consider a late change as the safety of fans is their primary concern.”
