The daughter of the legendary Barcelona footballer Hristo Stoichkov Michaela Stoichkova – Mika told her memories of her childhood.

She goes back to the years when she went to the same school with Lionel Messi in Barcelona. „We were in the same company. As with other Barca players. We were very close. Everyone got their way. Shakira and I also know each other very well.

Messi is very shy. When we were 17 we went out to a bar or a disco. He was forever playing the old „snake“ on the phone. „I have to pass the level“, he told us, and later he changed not only the game, but also life“, Stoichkova told BTV in her native Bulgaria with a smile.

„Lio (as our relatives call him) is a genius person. Earthly,
faithful friend, humble and very funny. He was always on
the quiet one in the group, but once he relaxes, nothing but laughter happens to him. I’ll never forget our first date
at a disco.
He was so worried that someone would recognize him and that they would talk about him, that they saw him at a disco, more or less, like our football players in Bulgaria, lol. He was sitting at the booth and playing games on the phone, as if
was not physically present there. Darling, how much we mocked him then.
I ordered him a beer and told him he could play games at home, but inside I really admired him for
self-discipline, and even then I predicted that he would become a phenomenal football player,“ said Stoichkova.

Then I changed the game, commented the host of the show.

„Yeah, game over and life over,“ Mika said.
