Lionel Messi now and then

A diminutive, floppy haired teenager collects a pass from Brazil superstar Ronaldinho to coolly chip in his first goal for Barcelona.

Ten years on, that same man has scored 402 more goals for the Spanish club, becoming the record scorer in their illustrious 115-year history.
