Exactly 14 years ago, on October 16, Argentina striker Lionel Messi made his debut as Barcelona.

Then another 17-year-old boy Messi appeared on the field in the “Barcelona derby” with Espanyol (1: 0) and became the third youngest football player to play for the “blue-pomegranate”.

Since then, Barcelona’s current captain has held 426 matches for the club, which scored 389 goals. Messi gained 25 titles and 5 golden balls.
