The smallest boy on his youth soccer team, he might have been the most unlikely player to become a professional soccer player. But special medicine helped him overcome his health challenges so his athletic talent could continue developing. His skills on the soccer field led him to win games, win awards, and break records in his beloved sport. Part of the International Soccer Stars series, Lionel Messi, Argentina’s Soccer Star tells the story of a young player who beat the odds to become one of the greatest soccer stars in the world.
