Back to Spain
Having become one of Barcelona's youngest-ever goalscorers in 2005 at just 17 years old, Messi showcased his immense potential and emerged as one of the most promising talents for the Blaugranes. His abilities were recognized by club legend Ronaldinho, who affectionately referred to Messi as his "little brother" and took him under his wing.
During his debut season as a professional, Messi reached extraordinary heights that were merely aspirations for other players. He triumphantly clinched both the La Liga title and the highly sought-after UEFA Champions League trophy. However, there was a deeper desire within Messi, something he cherished even more than these prestigious accolades.
