LIONEL MESSI


Lionel Messi was born in Rosario, Argentina on June 24, 1987 . He is a football player who currently plays for FC Barcelona and captains the Argentina national team as a striker.

He began playing football at a young age and his potential was quickly identified by Barcelona .

He left Rosario in 2000 and moved with his family to Barcelona where he was offered treatment for his hormone growth deficiency .

Despite his youth, Lionel has already drawn comparisons with Diego Maradona, arguably the best football player of all time. People called him “the new Diego Maradona.”

Lionel is strong, fast and creative. He is comfortable at any of the forward positions and is not intimidated by bigger players. There is almost nothing he cannot do on a soccer field, and his powerful shot makes him especially good on set plays, such as penalty kicks and corners.

He is an unusual player, is highly creative and has the skills to take on defenders .

Messi made his unofficial game for the first time against FC Porto on November 16 2003.

Actually he has a lot of awards and honours, both personally and as a team, and he is still playing for FC Barcelona.
