15 years ago today Lionel Messi made his La Liga debut for Barcelona. The game of football has never been the same since.
16 October 2004 is the date that saw Messi make his first-team bow. In an away derby against Catalan rivals Espanyol, with 34,400 fans in attendance, the five-time Ballon d'Or winner entered the fray in the 82nd minute, replacing eventual match-winner Deco and making a bright cameo.
From a young kid replacing Deco to a real GOAT.
