The year then was 2004 and Argentina were going to play a friendly game between Argentina ad Ecuador.Nothing was much thought about tis match then for sure, and some will nt understand the importance of this match in football history. As it was a very important match then.
In that particular match a 17, seventeen year old boy, who was studying his football at the very famous Barcelona youth Academy , called THE LA MASIA, THE CASTLE.
He was a 17 year old boy called Lionel Messi, he was totally unheard in the football world.
So exactly why was this teenager Lionel Messi and tihs game so very important.
It seems as Lionel Messi had joined up at Barcelona at the age of 13 thirteen years , he was eligible to play for Spain as well as for Argentina..
Argentina had no desire to let this genius a wizard on the pitch slip through heir fingers and play for Spain
And as he played for Argentina in that friendly he could only play for Argentina.
But ca you imagine WHAT HAD HE JOINED SPAIN? Here you must let your imagination run really wild.
pain would have had six world cups for sure and six Euro Cups , with players like Raul, David Villa,Andres Iniesta ,Xavi Hernandez , Carl's Puyol , Cesc Fabregas, Fernando Torres and a certain LIONEL MESSI . You can imagine Spain's scores and results.
