Born and brought up in India, I grew up watching Lionel Messi weave his magic on the spectacular Camp Nou pitch. From watching him sting the hopes of European sides with his scintillating style to witnessing him lift the World Cup, my love for the sport grew. I spend my nights watching football and my mornings writing about the majestic game. Started working for GOAL in 2022, having previously worked with FootTheBall and Middlesbrough’s Official Fan Page.
