Original caption
Lionel Messi was diagnosed with growth hormone deficiency when he was a child. But after watching him play, FC Barcelona’s sporting director Carles Rexach was adamant to sign him. “When I got there, I said, ‘You’ve got to sign him. That kid is different from everyone else,’” Rexach said in 2013. Messi is now considered one of the greatest soccer players of all time. During this World Cup, the Argentina captain broke the record for the most career goals scored in the tournament. Argentina will face Spain in the World Cup final on Sunday. #worldcup #messi #lionelmessi #argentina
