Just some trivia on messi. I think due to some hormonal problem since he was a child messi would grow up to become a midget unless he got some hormone injections but they were very expensive I think 10k USD per shot. His family could not afford it but his club paid for it. Despite his growth problems he was talented. Anyway since he got the injections he didn't grow up to be a midget but managed normal human height of 1.7m I think.
