Whatculture: Lionel Messi is arguably the greatest player ever to lace up a pair of football boots.
Since making his debut for Barcelona back in 2004, he has dazzled crowds and defences alike, and 445 appearances later, he's scored an incredible 375 goals, defying early concerns that his obvious talent might not translate well on a professional pitch. Having almost brought the 2014 World Cup back to Argentina single-handedly, he's also scored a massive 45 goals in 96 appearances for the national team, and quite frankly is pretty much on course to break every record in the book.
