At the age of six, Messi started playing football for Grandoli. In 1995, Messi switched to Newell’s Old Boys.[3] At the age of 11, he was diagnosed with a growth hormone deficiency.[4] River Plate showed interest in Messi’s progress, but did not have enough money to pay for the treatment of the illness that cost $1500 a month. Carles Rexach, the sporting director of FC Barcelona, was made aware of Messi’s talent, and Barcelona signed him after watching him play,[5] offering to pay for the medical bills if he was willing to move to start a new life in Spain.[3] His family moved to Europe and he started in the club’s youth teams.[Messi made his unofficial debut for the first team against FC Porto on 16 November 2003 (at 16 years and 145 days). Less than a year later he made his official debut against Espanyol on 16 October 2004 (at 17 years and 114 days), becoming the third-youngest player ever to play for FC Barcelona and youngest club player who played in La Liga (a record broken by team mate Bojan Krkić in September 2007).[6] When he scored his first senior goal for the club against Albacete Balompié on 1 May 2005, Messi was 17 years, 10 months and 7 days old, becoming the youngest to ever score in a La Liga game for FC Barcelona until 2007 when Bojan Krkić broke this record, scoring off a Messi assist.[7]On 16 September, for the second time in three months, Barcelona announced an update to Messi’s contract - this time improved to pay him as a first team member and extended till June 2014.[3][8] Messi obtained Spanish citizenship on 25 September and was finally able to make his début in the season’s Spanish First Division. He had previously been unable to play because FC Barcelona had filled their quota of non-EU players. Messi’s first home outing in the UEFA Champions League came on 27 September against Italian club Udinese.[9] He impressed with some great passing and a seemingly telepathic relationship with Ronaldinho that earned him a standing ovation from the 70,000-odd Nou Camp faithful.[10]
Messi netted six goals in seventeen league appearances, and scored one Champions League goal in six. However, his season ended prematurely on 7 March 2006 when he suffered a muscle tear in his right thigh during the second leg of the second round Champions League tie against Chelsea.[11] Barcelona ended the season as champions of Spain and Europe.Consistently strong performances and the occasional goal meant Messi was not starting any more games on the bench. Failure to effectively replace the injured Samuel Eto’o and poor defensive displays prevented Barcelona from taking advantage of Messi’s showings against Chelsea and Real Madrid.[12] This would later prove critical to their title challenges. On 12 November, in the game against Real Zaragoza, Messi suffered a broken metatarsal from tackles, ruling him out for 3 months.[13][14] Messi carried out his recuperation in native Argentina. During this period there were rumours of interest in the player from Inter Milan.[15][16] Messi returned to action against Racing Santander on the 11 February, coming on as a second-half substitute[2]. Rijkaard carefully managed his complete return, gradually increasing playing minutes with each game. One month since his return, on the 10th of March, he played his first full league match since the injury, Real Madrid being the opposition. Once again, El Clásico saw Messi in top form, scoring a hat-trick to earn 10-man Barcelona a 3-3 draw, equalising thrice and with the final goal coming in injury time. In doing so he became the first player since Iván Zamorano (for Real Madrid in the 1994-95 season) and the first Barcelona player since Romario (1993-94 season) to hit a hat-trick in the El Clásico. Messi is also the youngest player ever to have scored in this fixture. The game also marked the beginning of Messi’s best spell of form with Barça. He also began finding the net more often, 11 of his 14 league goals for the season coming from the last 13 games.
Messi also proved the “new Maradona” tag was not all hype, by near-replicating Maradona’s most famous goals in the space of the single season.[17] On 18 April 2007, he scored two goals during a Copa del Rey semi-final against Getafe CF, one of which was very similar to Maradona’s famous goal against England at the 1986 FIFA World Cup in Mexico, known as the Goal of the Century.[18] The world’s sports press exploded with Maradona comparisons, and the Spanish press labelled Messi as “Messidona”. He ran about the same distance (62 m), beat the same number of players (six, including the goalkeeper), scored from a very similar position, and ran towards the corner flag just as Maradona did in Mexico 21 years before. In a press conference after the game, Messi’s team-mate Deco said: “There’s no other like Leo.”[19] Against Espanyol Messi also scored with his hand in a goal remarkably similar to Maradona’s goal against England in the world cup quarter-finals. Messi launched himself at the ball and connected with his hand to guide the ball past the goalkeeper Carlos Kameni. [20]Despite protests by Espanyol players the goal was allowed and despite replays showing it was clear handball, Messi has never admitted the fowl.
