One of the most decorated football players in history, Barcelona and Argentina star Lionel Messi turned 33 on Wednesday.
In the 2004-05 season, Messi was promoted from the Barcelona B team and he made his league debut in La Liga for FC Barcelona’s first team at the age of 17 years, 3 months and 22 days against Espanyol, becoming the youngest player to represent the Barcelona first team in an official competition.
The little magician has won 10 La Liga titles with the Catalan giants since then.
Messi, who was born in Rosario, Argentina, scored his first goal for the senior Barcelona team in 2005 against Albacete, becoming the youngest-ever scorer for the club (at that time). In his debut season for the first team (2004-05), Barcelona became La Liga champions for the first time in six years.
Apart from 10 La Liga titles with the club, Messi has won 4 UEFA Champions League and 6 Copa del Rey titles with the club, amongst other honours.
