BARCELONA MADE LIONEL MESSI AND LIONEL MESSI MADE BARCELONA SHINE IN GLORY.

  There is no  dodging the truth that it was  Barcelona that made Lionel Messi and in turn Lionel Messi made Barcelona shine in Glory.

 Now we have to go back yeas when Lionel Messi was thirteen years old and was playing for Newel Old Boys. The club Diego Maradona played for in his youth.

The Barcelona scout Carles  Rushak  visited the club, as he had been told to look for the 13,,thirteen year old boy. He was surprised when they pointed  out a small boy who looked five years old This was  due to the illness called Hormone growth deficiency, where the bones were not developed as in  the was way they should so he Lionel Messi was looking a like a five year old.The scout liked what he saw.

 Now according to F.I.F.A rules as he was under  18 years ,his parents had to join him in Barcelona.

 No football club was willing to spend that money on his treatment it was a hundred pounds for each injection . But  there was a argument  in the Barcelona board meeting over the money for his treatment.

 Mr Jorge Messi got impatient with the scout, s nothing was done and no contract was signed. And he wanted to go back to Rosario. Te scout Carles Rushak  asked the waiter i the hotel to get a paper, the waiter brought a napkin. And Lionel Messi's, first contract with Barcelona was written and signed on that napkin.It is now framed and displayed  in the trophy room at Barcelona..

 Well what Lionel Messi did at Barcelona is now HISTORY.
