A sign of things to come.
When I was 14 and playing underage football, my life was very different to that of the best player in the world right now, Lionel Messi.
I didn’t play for Barcelona, I couldn’t split a back-four with a deft pass and I definitely didn’t find the goal with as much regularity as the Argentinian genius did.
There’s one thing that we do have in common though, the dodgy hair.
Messi turns 28 today and Barcelona have just released this footage of him playing for their junior side.
Spoiler alert, he’s good.
