Messi can be cloned, says European scientist

Arcadi Navarro, head of the European Genome-Phenome Archive, believes the Barcelona magician, Lionel Messi, can be recreated with the level of scientific innovation available.

Messi is a generational talent and arguably the best player to ever step on a football pitch.

But whatever you do, don’t search his Wikipedia page. Messi is 32 years old. He turns 33 in June.

“Messi could be cloned with current techniques,” he told radio station Cadena SER.

“We would achieve a being very similar to Messi, as if two twins had been born and we had frozen one of them for 30 years.”

So what would the world look like if Messi was cloned?

In their proud 121 year history, Barcelona have never had a player manager in charge.

That’s why Messi is primed to takeover in 2035 while simultaneously being their top scorer across four competitions.

Think about it. Genius on the pitch and genius on the touchline. Imagine thinking he wouldn’t win the quadruple.

Mandark to Dexter. Plankton to Mr Krabs. Every great individual needs a nemesis, and who better to fulfil that role than Cristiano Ronaldo?

If Messi is getting anywhere near cloning technology, you can bet Ronaldo and his people won’t be far behind.

The pair have rivalled each other for over ten years in a remarkable show of consistency – now the show must go on.

Messi has openly stated his desire to return to boyhood club Newell’s Old Boys, when his legs don’t work like they used to before.
