Messi was four years old when he first kicked a ball playing with his friends in front of his house. Little did he know that he would go on to become one of the greatest footballers of this generation.

Despite growth hormone deficiency holding him back from his future, Messi out-battled his problem with the help of Barcelona to become a football icon that he is today.

The Argentine football sensation has inspired millions of football fans around the world with his magnificent tricks and skills on the pitch, but his fans have very little insight into his past and how he came to be the man he is today. A Hollywood adaptation of the little magician’s life would be a treat for every Messi fan out there where they can see the dramatic depiction of the life and career of one the greatest living footballers on earth.
