Messi was born on 24 June 1987 in Rosario, Argentina, to parents Jorge Messi, a factory worker, and Celia, a part-time cleaner. His paternal family originates from the Italian city of Ancona where his ancestor, Angelo Messi, emigrated to Argentina in 1883. He has two older brothers named Rodrigo and Matías as well as a sister named Maria Sol. At the age of five, Messi started playing futbol for Grandoli, a local club coached by his father Jorge. In 1995, Messi switched to Newell’s Old Boys Soccer Academy who were based in his home city Rosario. At the age of 11, he was diagnosed with a growth hormone deficiency. Primera División club River Plate showed interest in Messi’s progress, but did not have enough money to pay for the treatment, as it cost 0 mon. Rexach, the sporting director of Barcelona, had been aware of his talent as Messi had relatives in Catalunia, and Messi and his father were able to arrange a trial. FC Barcelona signed him after watching him play, offer to pay for the medical bills if he was willing to move to Spain. His family moved to Europe & he started in the club’s youth teams. ■ By Cachitograu10 ”CaR10” ■ www.youtube.com • My: www.youtube.com FC Barcelona Barça Galacticos Blancos Real Madrid Bernabeu Messi Cristiano Ronaldo CR9 Manchester United Chelsea Inter Liverpool Barselona …

After the break Pedro and Messi continued to terrorise the Zaragoza defence as the Blaugrana went in search of that vital two goal cushion.
