Lionel Messi has turned 30 – and my word – what a 30 years it has been.

The Barcelona and Argentina superstar is widely revered as the greatest player of all time in many quarters, while others will debate that profusely.

But few stars have enjoyed such a decorated trophy haul as his, with his mantelpiece carrying eight La Liga titles, four Champions Leagues, four Copa Del Reys, three Club World Cups, seven Spanish Super Cups and of course five FIFA Ballon D’Ors.

Copa90‘s video below shows you Messi’s 30-year journey from a prodigy in Argentina to one of the best footballers in the world. This is a must-watch!
