When Messi was in his teens I wouldn't say he had the richest family, and the thing that was holding him back in his soccer career was his size.

When he was about age 18 he went to the doctor to see if he would grow, because he was being held back so far from his size, and that's when he found out that he would need surgery with the substance needed in order to grow. This only happens to seven percent of the world, it affects 1 in every 20 million. The doctor explains that he will not grow anymore, and that means it would probably be the end of his professional dream because his family did not have the money for this kind of surgery.

Barcelona was the only club that was willing to pay for this, and that's how it all started. He would have to move from his home country Argentina to Spain because they were the only club willing to pay. There were many great accomplishments after this experience.
