    Lionel Messi was born, 24 June 1987, in Rosario, Argentina. He has two older brothers. He
    came from a working-class family. His father was a factory steel worker, and his mother was
    a cleaner. He began playing soccer from an early age, and his talent was soon apparent.
    However, at the age of 11, Messi was diagnosed with growth hormone deficiency (GHD),
    that limited his growth. He obviously looked smaller than most of the kids in his age group,

    So, at the age of 13, Messi's family moved across the Atlantic to make a new home in Spain.
    He was often homesick in his new country. By the age of 16, Messi made his first appearance
    for the FC Barcelona. He put himself in the record books on May 1, 2005, as the youngest
    player to ever score a goal for the franchise. That same year, he made Argentina to the title
    in the under-20 World Cup, scoring on a pair of penalty kicks to propel the team over
    Nigeria.

    On June 30, 2017, Lionel Messi married Antonella Roccuzzo, his long-time girlfriend and the
    cousin of his best friend and fellow soccer player Lucas Scaglia. Messi met Roccuzzo in their
    hometown of Rosario when he was five years old. Their marriage, a civil ceremony dubbed
    by Argentina's Clarín newspaper as the “wedding of the century,” was held at a luxury hotel
    in Rosario, with a number of fellow star soccer players and Colombian pop star Shakira on
    the 260-person guest list.
