I have serious doubts about this being authentic. Even if a professional football player - Messi, of all players - happened to have an interest in genetic genealogy, which I find highly unlikely, I don't think he would bother to register on a public Y-DNA database site, with his full name. Unless some researchers/geneticists approached the guy and convinced him to submit a DNA sample and to allow them to publish it. That sounds a little less implausible, but not by much. Messi appears to be extremely reserved as well, which makes it all even more unlikely.
If this really is legitimate though, it would probably be the coolest "celebrity Y-DNA" discovery made so far.
Maybe, but I have dealings with people in ysearch and it's common for the contact link to not be the person in question, but a relative who runs the family tree search line, example, I was contacting a person from Hesse Germany , but the link was in south Carolina in USA. This person gave me all the info I required and matched what little piece of knowledge i had plus gave me much more information.
Just ask a simple question on the link and see what happens
