Lionel Messi's exhibition at Stamford Bridge in 2006

He was 18 years, seven months and 28 days old and his professional record consisted of only two titles. He hadn’t yet won any individual award, wore the number '30,’ and had long hair.

However, it was already known that the shy person away from the pitch had a special gift on it: to play football.

That was clearly demonstrated on his first great European night, when Stamford Bridge watched Lionel Messi’s Champions League exhibition on February 22, 2006.
