The Argentine and Barcelona star is considered as one of the best football players of his generation and frequently cited as the world's best contemporary player.
Lionel Messi had received several Ballon d'Or and FIFA World Player of the year nominations by the age of 21 and won both by the age of 22.
His playing style and ability have drawn comparisons to football legend Diego Maradona. Making his debut in the 2004-2005 season for Barcelona, he broke the Spanish La Liga record for the youngest footballer to play a league game, and also the youngest to score a league goal. Major honours soon followed as Barcelona won La Liga in Messi's debut season, and won a double of the league and the Champions League in 2006.
His breakthrough season was in 2006-2007; he became a first team regular, scoring a hat-trick in El Clasico and finishing with 14 goals in 26 league games.
Perhaps his most successful season was the 2008-09, in which Messi scored 38 goals to play an integral part on a treble-wining campaign.
