Messi led Argentina to trophy in the 2005 FIFA Youth Championship. Before the final, Messi was awarded the Golden Ball as the tournament’s best player.
He scored twice in the final against Nigeria (2-1) winning the championship for Argentina and finishing the tournament as the top scorer with 6 goals.
Messi scored his first goal on May 1, 2005, against Albacete, assisted by Ronaldinho, becoming the youngest ever goalscorer for the club at that time.
After being called up to the senior team, Messi made his first appearance in an official match on October 16, 2004, against Espanyol in La Liga, coming on in the 82′ minute.
On 14 December, few months after Messi’s trial, an ultimatum was issued for Barcelona to prove their commitment. First team director Carles Rexach didn’t have any paper nearby, but his urgency to sign Messi made him write the contract on a paper napkin.
