The FIFA World Cup 2026 has kept football lovers on the edge of their seats. In yesterday’s Argentina vs Egypt match, Argentina made a dramatic last-minute comeback, winning 3-2 and securing a spot in the quarterfinals against Switzerland. Lionel Messi was seen in tears after the victory, leaving fans emotional as well. Before we watch Messi in action again, let’s take a look at some of his favourite dishes.
What Are Lionel Messi’s Favourite Foods?
Lionel Messi is not someone who has fancy food preferences. His food choices have always been simple. One of his favourite dishes is Asado, a traditional Argentine barbecue. This dish features different types of meat that are slowly cooked over a grill or open fire. As per News18, Messi loves this dish because of its authentic flavours. Very few spices are used, allowing the natural taste of the meat to take the spotlight.
The other favourite dish of Messi is a little more special. He loves Milanesa Napolitana, and his absolute favourite is the one his mother used to make for him during his childhood. This popular Argentine dish consists of a breaded and fried beef cutlet topped with tomato sauce, cheese, and sometimes ham.
