Lionel Messi
The best player ever!!!!
Lionel Andrés "Leo" Messi is an Argentine footballer who plays as a
forward for La Liga club FC Barcelona and the Argentina national team. He serves
as the captain of his country's national football team.
Messi began playing football at a young age and his potential was
quickly identified by Barcelona. He left Rosario-based Newell's Old Boys's youth
team in 2000 and moved with his family to Europe, as Barcelona offered treatment
for his growth hormone deficiency. Making his debut in the 2004–05 season, he
broke the La Liga record for the youngest footballer to play a league game, and
also the youngest to score a league goal.
