The Greatest Footballer Alive
Lionel Andrés Messi was born 24th June 1987 in Rosario, Argentina. He is fairly small in stature standing at just at 5’7” but he is a brilliant striker & so talented as he can play well anywhere on the pitch. He plays for his country and for Barcelona.
When Lionel Messi was 13 years old he needed medicine to help him grow but his family could not afford it. Being so promising at football, Barcelona Football Club offered to pay for his treatment. In return, Messi could come to Barcelona. As soon as Messi heard this, he was so excited and knew he had to go. In 2004-05 he broke the La Liga (Spanish Premier League in football) record for the youngest footballer to play a league game and to score a league goal. Barcelona won La Liga on his debut season. His breakthrough season was in 2006 when they won the UEFA Champions League. Messi is being compared to Maradona and Pele, & other South American world class football legends.
