Messi the Enigma
FACTUAL 10.55PM, BBC1 (times vary), IPLAYER
On the eve of the World Cup, it’s fitting to watch a documentary (first shown on iplayer) about the man many believe is the world’s greatest footballer. But somehow, in an era where we know everything about those in the limelight, Lionel Messi remains an enigma. It’s up to clips of his sublime skills to do the talking, plus interviews with the likes of Gary Lineker, Xavi and Spanish journalist Guillem Balagué, who has written a biography on Messi. ★★★ JP
