Happy birthday ‘The Magician’ Messi
Lionel Andrés Messi, who came in the football world as a floppy-haired young player, later known as ‘The Magician’ of football, turned 33 on Wednesday. Messi, at the age of 13, was signed by then Barcelona’s Technical Secretary Charly Rexach, who gave the current Barcelona captain his first contract on a paper napkin. The wonder boy from Argentina then joined Barcelona’s youth academy ‘La Masia’ to nourish his skills.
