Lionel Messi started playing football at a very early age in his hometown's Newell's Old Boys . From the age of 11, he suffered from a hormone deficiency and as Lionel's parents were unable to pay for the treatment in Argentina, they decided to move to Barcelona , Spain . Shortly after arriving in Spain, Lionel tried his luck with a trial at FC Barcelona , despite being only 13 years of age. He excelled at the trial and rapidly found himself starting for the Barcelona B team, averaging more than a goal per game.
