You may have arrived on this website with little idea who the man 'Messi' is. A world superstar, many have heard his name without actually being able to put a face to the genius. Nicknamed the 'flea', Messi stands only at 5'7", but what he lacks in height, he makes up for in sheer talent on the football pitch.

Messi is currently the world's best football player and is set to go down as one of the best to ever play the game. He is known universally and is constantly being recognised for his exceptional contribution to the sport, which is illustrated by the number of awards he has collected.

His achievements at club level have been unprecedented as he is part of a Barcelona team that has been dubbed by many as the best team of all time.

Messi still has his critics, those who don't believe he can produce the same form for his country, Argentina, as his club. Those people are mistaken as Messi plays the same exacting football but is simply playing alongside a vastly different caliber of teammates.
