Career context in 2011

Born 24 June 1987, Messi made his first-team debut for Barcelona in October 2004 and scored his first senior goal in May 2005. By 2011 he was firmly established as one of the world’s best footballers. During the 2010-11 season he helped Barcelona clinch La Liga, the Copa del Rey and the UEFA Champions League, while for Argentina he was a leading figure in major tournaments

Reported weight figures around that time

Precise documented weight for Messi on a specific date in 2011 is scarce. However, several reliable sources give a consistent profile of his physique:

• A Barcelona fan site lists his weight as 67 kg (148 lbs) around 2011
• A gaming database (SoFIFA) states 67 kg (148 lbs) for Messi in the 2011 version
• Later professional listings show his weight as 72 kg (159 lbs), suggesting he carried more mass in later years

These data suggest that in the early 2010s Messi’s weight remained in the mid-60 kg range before any documented increase

Estimated weight for 2011

Given the consistent listing of approximately 67 kg in surrounding years, and that in 2011 Messi was 24 years old and performing at the highest level, a reasoned estimate places his weight in that year at around 67 kg (approximately 148 lbs). This figure aligns with multiple credible sources and reflects his physical profile at that time.

Why the figure matters and its limitations

For collectors and fans of kits and memorabilia, knowing a player’s approximate weight at a given career stage offers enhanced insight:

• Messi’s height is listed at 1.70 m (5 ft 7 in)
• A weight near 67 kg suggests a lean and agile physique consistent with his style of dribbling, change of direction and acceleration rather than a heavily built frame.

It should be acknowledged that weight figures may vary and are often reported as current rather than year-specific. In addition, weight can change due to training regimes, muscle development, injuries or seasonal variation. As such, any estimate for 2011 should be interpreted as an informed approximation rather than a definitive measurement.

Relevance for jersey collectors and fans

When browsing early-career kits from Messi’s Barcelona or Argentina era, understanding his physical profile offers meaningful context:

• Knowing he likely weighed around 67 kg helps visualise how a replica jersey from that era would have draped on his frame slim yet athletic
• For example, when examining our selection like the Barcelona 2010-11 home jersey or the Argentina national team shirt from that period, consider how the build of the player correlates with the design, fit and size of the kit on jerseys4pro

Aligning your kit purchase or viewing with an understanding of his body stage adds depth to the collecting experience beyond mere design or number
