However, they refused to foot the bill for his medical care. He was given a chance by FC Barcelona. The manager was so taken aback by Messi that he suggested a contract that would cover the cost of his therapy in Spain. Messi and his father relocated to Barcelona, where Messi enrolled in the esteemed F.C. Barcelona Youth Academy.

In 26 league games, he scored 14 goals. He represented Argentina at the 2006 World Cup, making him the nation's youngest player to do so.

Messi broke the previous record for the most goals scored in a single year in 2012.
