Born in football-crazed Argentina, Messi was destined for greatness from a young age. As a child prodigy, Messi ran rings around the opposition. But at age 11, he was diagnosed with a growth hormone deficiency, putting his football career in jeopardy. His parents couldn't afford the medicine, but Barcelona stepped in with a contract, paid for his treatment and the rest is history. Since then Messi has gone on to enjoy unparalleled success, winning every trophy available. All except one — the World Cup. Can Messi take his place among the world's soccer greats without that elusive World Cup?
