Lionel Messi

If it hadn't been for his grandmother! She believed that four-year-old Lionel belonged in a soccer club with his talent, rather than kicking a ball around with his friends on the street. He scored 500 goals for his club in Rosario, Argentina. At nine, he stopped growing. However, he didn't let the exhausting therapy get him down. He moved from Argentina to Spain with his parents, where he signed a contract with FC Barcelona at the age of 13, supposedly on a paper napkin. This was followed by an unprecedented career, during which he won everything there was to win. In 2022, his biggest dream came true: the World Cup title for Argentina! Little People, Big Dreams tells the inspiring life stories of great individuals: each of these personalities, whether philosopher, researcher, or athlete, has achieved the unimaginable.
