Editing Lionel Messi (section)

=== Club Career at Barcelona ===

* Early Years: Messi made his first-team debut for Barcelona on November 16, 2003, at the age of 16, in a friendly match against Porto. His official debut came on October 16, 2004, in a La Liga match against Espanyol. He scored his first senior goal on May 1, 2005, against Albacete, becoming the youngest scorer in the club's history at the time.
* Rise to Stardom: Over the next few years, Messi established himself as one of the most exciting young talents in world football. Under the guidance of coach Frank Rijkaard and later Pep Guardiola, he became a key player in a team that dominated both domestically and internationally.
* Tiki-Taka Era: Messi thrived in Guardiola's system, which emphasized quick passing and movement, known as "tiki-taka." Alongside teammates like Xavi, Andrés Iniesta, and others, Messi led Barcelona to numerous titles, including two trebles (winning La Liga, Copa del Rey, and Champions League in the same season) in 2008-09 and 2014-15.
