Lionel Messi made his debut in the First Division when he was only 17 years old, in the 2003-2004 season, in a friendly match against Porto, in Portugal, at the inauguration of the Do Dragao stadium. His official debut as a Barcelona player took place on October 16, 2004, when Dutch coach Frank Rijkaard sent him onto the field in the city's derby against Espanyol, at the Montjuic stadium.

 

 

He replaced the Portuguese Deco and wore the number 30 jersey. That day, a story that became a legend began. Messi scored 634 goals in 731 games played for the Catalan team and more than 70 goals for the Argentine national team.

 

 

Lionel Messi's records

 

 

 

Titles at Barcelona  

Lionel Messi broke all the records since his debut in the Catalan first team in 2004, to the point that he walked away being the maximum conqueror in a Spanish club (10 Spanish Leagues, 8 Spanish Super Cups, 6 King's Cups, 4 Champions Leagues, 3 European Super Cups and 3 Club World Cups) and also holding the record of player with the most titles in Spain (24).

 

 

Undoubtedly, the first of the historic seasons took place in 2009, with Josep "Pep" Guardiola on the substitutes' bench, when Barcelona won a treble: Spanish League, King's Cup and European Champions League, with Messi's goal in the final against Manchester United (2-0).The same scenario was repeated in 2015, already with Luis Enrique as coach, something that no Spanish club had achieved before. That team had the trident of Neymar, Luis Suárez and Messi, the first two of whom each scored a goal in the European final.

 

 

In addition, in 2009 and 2015, Messi faced Argentine teams in the Club World Cup final: Estudiantes de La Plata (2-1) and River Plate (3-0), against whom he scored once. Messi's interference in Barcelona's history was reflected from the beginning, to the point that previously the Catalan team only had 16 Spanish Leagues, one European Champions League, 24 King's Cups and did not have the Club World Cup -formerly Intercontinental- in its trophy cabinet, among other conquests accumulated in these seasons.
