By now, we all know that Messi is one of the best players on the planet, and will go down as one of the finest players in the history of the game.

However, this latest video shows exactly why he caught the eye of Barcelona and Newell’s Old Boys at an extremely young age.

Even at just six and seven years old (as he’s seen here) you can see his characteristic ability to ride challenges, avoid sliding tackles and generally embarrass the opposition. Still looks like the smallest player on the pitch, mind.
