Lionel Messi, one of the best footballers ever, made his debut for Barcelona exactly 14 years ago. It happened on 16 October 2004 in a La Liga derby against Espanyol, where the then 17-year-old Argentine substituted Deco in the 82th minute.

Barcelona's four key players were injured, and the coach Frank Rijkaard called up several players from the junior team, including Messi. Overall, Leo played only seven matches during that season, scoring one goal.

Since then, Messi has played all his career at Barcelona, winning a number of trophies including nine La Liga titles, six Spanish Cups and four Champions League titles.
