”Since I was three or four years, I dreamed of being a footballer. I walked around with a football and always wanted to play. My only thought was to become a player, did not think of anything else. If I had not made me one, really no idea that I would be today. I don’t know what Barcelona saw in me, but will always be grateful for what they have done and continue doing. By the time I arrived, my medical treatment was very expensive, and they paid it all, giving me the opportunity to play. It was a very nice gesture, they made my dream. I’ll be forever grateful, forever.” - Lionel Messi
