17 - Messi announced himself to Spanish football as a 17-year-old, making his debut against Espanyol before going on to get his first goal, a delightful lob in a win over Albacete, having had a similar finish harshly disallowed. That season also brought his first piece of silverware, as Barca won LaLiga.

18 - On the international stage, Messi's career has been a case of 'what might have been' and the signs were there right from the start. His Argentina debut at the age of 18 lasted less than a minute, as he was sent off in a friendly against Hungary. However, he did get his first goal at the same age, scoring against Croatia. At club level, he got his hands on the Champions League for the first time, plus a second LaLiga title and the Spanish Supercopa.

19 - A second successive Supercopa arrived for Messi when he was 19, though his greatest achievement of the year was his first hat-trick, in El Clasico of all games. A clinical finish at the end of a flowing move was followed by an emphatic volley and fine solo effort in a 3-3 draw.

20 - Although he was clearly already destined for greatness, Messi's career may have been significantly different had Pep Guardiola not been appointed Barca coach when the forward was 20. His arrival came after Frank Rijkaard could only guide Barca to third in LaLiga.

21 - Messi found another level and truly established himself as Barca's key player at the age of 21. He scored 38 goals that year, helping the club to a remarkable treble, which included his second European title and a third LaLiga crown.

22 - Champions League and Copa del Rey retention were beyond Barca the following year, though Messi still got to lift the UEFA Super Cup and Club World Cup for the first time. The Blaugrana also won LaLiga and the Supercopa, while Messi took home his first Ballon d'Or and European Golden Shoe.

23 - Another glorious year followed, as Messi got his hands on a fifth LaLiga title and won the Champions League for the third time. He scored 53 goals as a 23-year-old, a personal best at the time, and unsurprisingly clinched a second successive Ballon d'Or.

24 - Although the two main trophies eluded Barca and Messi when he was 24, it proved to be his best year to date in terms of goals. He scored a remarkable 73 in all competitions, making him the obvious winner of a third consecutive Ballon d'Or and second European Golden Shoe.

25 - Incredibly, Messi reached the 300 goals mark for Barca when he was just 25. The same year he guided the team to the league title – his sixth – and won the Ballon d'Or for the fourth season in a row, making him the first to ever achieve the feat.

26 - Having passed the 300 mark at 25, netting 60 that year, Messi became Barca's all-time leading scorer across all matches – including friendlies – when he was 26, passing Paulino Alcantara's record of 369. The Spanish Supercopa was the only trophy he won that year, however, as Gerardo Martino was dismissed.

27 - Messi's Champions League drought ended when he was 27 and he was truly back to his best. He boosted his goal haul from 41 the previous year to 58, passing the 400 mark in the process, and inspired the team to another treble.

28 - It was another hugely successful year for Messi at 28, with LaLiga, the Copa del Rey, UEFA Super Cup and Club World Cup all added to the crowded Barca trophy cabinet. Messi also increased his personal collection, winning a fifth Ballon d'Or. He also overtook G

abriel Batistuta to become Argentina's all-time leading scorer.

29 - The goals landmarks continued to tumble at 29, with Messi surpassing 500 in a Barca shirt. For the year he scored an impressive 54, earning himself a fourth European Golden shoe. With the club, he lifted a fifth Copa del Rey title and seventh Supercopa, but Luis Enrique ended his three-year stint at the helm.

30 - Early in the 2017-18 season, Messi became the first player to reach 350 LaLiga goals and made his 600th appearance for the club across all competitions in

Lionel Scaloni's side have taken just one point from two games so far, but their Barcelona superstar skipper is confident they will advance

Lionel Messi is "convinced" Argentina will beat Qatar in their final group game at the Copa America, with the Barcelona superstar admitting an early exit from the competition would be "crazy".

Lionel Scaloni's side are facing the possibility of tumbling out of the competition after being held to a 1-1 draw by Paraguay in Group B on Wednesday.

Messi scored a second-half penalty to cancel out Richard Sanchez's goal in Belo Horizonte, while Argentina needed Franco Armani to save a Derlis Gonzalez spot-kick to preserve their first point of the tournament.

Messi to the rescue but Argentina still clueless under Scaloni

Even a win over Qatar on Sunday may not be enough for Argentina, but Messi said there was plenty of confidence in his team.

"I see the team convinced that we will win the next match," he told reporters.

Messi added: "We have to keep looking for the team and improve.

"Frankly, it's a little frustrating not being able to get the win we need to take the next step.

"We knew this would be difficult, we're still looking for the best group, for the best performance, to keep growing."

Argentina struggled throughout the first half and fell behind to Sanchez's 37th-minute goal, before Messi equalised after a penalty was awarded following a VAR review for handball.

Armani stepped up for Argentina in the 63rd minute, though, diving to his left to push away a Gonzalez penalty.


Messi felt his side earned their point, saying: "The first few minutes we managed the ball well.

"After the goal, we messed up a bit. In the second half, we went with everything and we got the draw."

The five-time Ballon d'Or winner is confident that Argentina will raise their game when it matters, with a humbling departure from a tournament on Brazilian soil inconceivable.

Messi added: "[The squad] is hurt by the situation because we can't manage to win a game, and we know today was key for us.

"We know we have to win the next game to advance.


"We know we'll be playing for our lives.

"It would be crazy if we can't advance from the group stage, when basically three [teams] advance from each group. I have no doubt we'll do it."

Argentina are bottom of the group on one point, behind Colombia (six), Paraguay two) and Qatar (one).

Happy birthday lenglet Thank you!

‼️ Barça are in talks regarding Raphaël Guerreiro. The Portuguese full-back was close to signing with Barça in 2016 but opted for Dortmund as he didn't feel that he'd get a lot of playing time with Barça.

� He's got a year left on his contract & has told BvB he wants out.

*Sevilla Confirm� Lopetegui� Appointment*

Sevilla have announced the appointment of Julen Lopetegui as their new coach.

The former Spain and Real Madrid boss joins the club on a three year deal. Lopetegui has been out of work since he was sacked by Real Madrid last October after just 10 league matches in charge of the club.

He takes over from Joaquín Caparrós who was diaognosed with chronic leukemia . He is expected to take a directorial role at the club.

✨ _Promoted_

Valverde: "We consider tomorrow's game like the others, with the intention of adding three more points. It is true that we have a busy schedule and we will rotate."

Valverde: "It is clear that the tie with Liverpool is not done, the result is very good, but we know what Liverpool is capable of and we saw that in the first leg. Now I am focused on the game in Balaídos tomorrow."

Valverde: "Arthur is fine... He has been suffering from a physical problem for a long time but he is ready to play tomorrow."

Valverde: "Sergi Roberto is a midfielder who has gotten used to being a full-back, his advantage is that he is very versatile."

Valverde: "I do not know if Xavi is the best Spanish player ever, but one of the best for sure. One of the best midfielders, he understands the game of position and his passes were always transcendent, his footballing career is extraordinary."

Valverde: "Of course Xavi has the profile to be a Barça coach."

Valverde: "Criticism on our style against Liverpool? I have nothing to say, we won 3-0 and we have a very strong style and we are proud of that."

Valverde: "Ter Stegen has had a spectacular season, he transmits a tremendous security, he gives us a lot."

Valverde: "The signings of Murillo and Boateng? We have to assess how we were at that moment. We only had 2 fit centre-backs, they were emergency signings for what could happen."

Valverde: "I could use Cillessen for the remaining games in La Liga. We are very happy with him, he is a great goalkeeper."

Valverde: "Malcom is a player who has done better, both in games and in training. He has not had as many opportunities as others, but it is difficult to play here. He has adapted well and when he did played he has done well."

Valverde: "I do not care about how the press value our season."

Valverde: "I think Aleñá is ready to have a more important role in the team, I see him well. Last year he was the top scorer at Barcelona B and despite the strong competition in his position we have high hopes for him."

Valverde says teams at the bottom worried Barça won't pick full team vs. Celta should focus on their own games. "I remember Inter were worried about that, then we drew with Tottenham & they didn't win their game..."

Semedo - Sergi Roberto

� Valverde: "It depends on how the match goes. Some see them as two fullbacks, but Sergi has midfield training. He is versatile and we take advantage of him and Semedo is a very powerful player physically, with a great display. It is a solution for us."
