      Introduction

When he was a little boy from the streets of Rosario, no one could have imagined what a sensational career he would have in football. He grew up to became one of the world’s greatest players.

      The Barcelona forward has been dubbed by many fellow football professionals as The Best Player to Ever Grace the Sport. Let’s not forget that, over the years, we have been privileged to watch many legendary careers blossom, including the Brazilian forward Pele, and the Argentine playmaker Diego Maradona.

      It is hard to believe that he has established so much in his career despite being the tender young age of 24. He already has 68 international caps to his name, and is sure to surpass the record set by Javier Zanetti in most appearances for Argentina. He has also been given the honor of representing his country as captain of the national team, elevating the expectancy of spectators at every game. He always manages to deliver above and beyond that expectancy.

He has faced numerous obstacles ever since he began playing football in a competitive environment, at just 5 years old. Somehow, he has quickly risen above all of the challenges.
