Introduction
Lionel Messi is known all over the world as a football magician. Lionel Andres Messi is an
Argentinian soccer player who plays forward for the FC Barcelona club and the Argentina
national team. Lionel Messi was born, 24 June 1987, in Rosario, Argentina to a working-class
family. His father name is Jorge Horácio Messi and his father was a factory
steel worker. His mother name is Celia María Cuccittini and his mother was a cleaner. He got
married in June 30, 2017 with Antonella Roccuzzo.

Lionel Messi made his debut for the Argentina national football team in 17 August, 2005 and
club football for FC Barcelona in 16 October, 2004. He is the first player who got back to
back 4 Ballon d’or.

He started playing from a very young age and his talent was soon discovered. However, at
age 11, Messi was diagnosed with growth hormone deficiency (GHD). It was a condition that
delayed growth and required expensive medical care, including the use of human growth
hormone.

His local club, River Plate, was interested in signing Messi but did not want to pay for
medical treatment. However, Messi passed a test with Barcelona and coach Carles Rexach
was impressed - and offered Messi a contract (written on a paper napkin!) That included
payment for Messi's treatment in Spain. Messi moved to Barcelona with his father and joined
Barcelona's prestigious youth academy.
