FC Barcelona striker Lionel Messi is probably the best footballer in the world and the 25-year-old believes he owes a great debt of gratitude to his club for making him into the player he is today.
‘I learned everything here. I grew up here. I went to school here. I learned most things in Barcelona,’ said Messi.
‘I have always said I am grateful, because that’s the way it is.’ ‘The Barca youth team I was in was one of the best. That is why players such as (Gerard) Pique, Cesc (Fabregas) and I came out of it, as well as other players who have also made careers in Spain,’ said Messi, who came to the club when he was only 13.
