The boy who couldn't grow up Like Ginobili, Messi's obsession also happened to grow, although in his case it was enhanced: to do so he had to inject hormones. That sacrifice from a very young age and leaving his birthplace in order to develop his dream formed a combo that forged a marked personality: introverted outside, indomitable inside. With a left-handed foot with which he was perfecting his punch, La Pulga found in Barcelona the ideal place to grow and consolidate a career that put him among the greats of history and that still has no ceiling. Six Ballons d'Or, 704 goals in his career and being the top scorer in the history of the Argentine National Team are some of his credentials, for a left-hander who only needs to lift the World Cup with his left hand.
