Lionel Messi was born in Rosario, Argentina in 1987 to a football-loving family. He began playing for his local club at age four and was scouted by Buenos Aires club River Plate at age 10, but they declined to pay for his growth hormone treatment. Messi enrolled at Barcelona's youth academy, La Masia, at age 13, where he struggled to integrate into the team due to homesickness and a transfer conflict with Newell's Old Boys. After completing his growth hormone treatment at age 14, Messi became an integral part of Barcelona's youth teams and received an offer to join Arsenal, but chose to remain in Barcelona.
