What? What did you expect? Who else but the record goalscorer of Barcelona? Who else but the greatest player in the history of Barcelona? Who else but Lionel Messi?
The Argentina captain came to Barca as a 12-year old and made his debut in 2004 as a 17-year old kid. The moment he ran with the ball, people knew that it was the beginning of something special. 13 years down the line, ‘special’ is perhaps an understatement to describe Messi’s time with Barcelona.
While Xavi and Iniesta were essential cogs in Barcelona’s glory years, Messi was the one who was the difference between great and legendary. The list of his accomplishments in the red and blue of Barcelona dwarfs almost every other players’ with their respective clubs.
He has scored 507 goals in 583 appearances, has won the Ballon d’Or five times, along with eight La Liga and four Champions League titles, making him one of the most successful players of all time.
