The beginning: A 17-year-old Messi is mobbed by his Barcelona teammates after he scored his first ever goal for the club in a league match against Albacete, at the Camp Nou, in 2005. A brilliant chip pass from Ronaldinho, Messi's mentor, was responsible for this historic moment. How poetic.

Back to home base, Messi scored his 400th goal against Valencia at Camp Nou. He was one-on-one with the visiting goalkeeper and tried to chip Diego Alves, who palmed away the effort. Messi made no mistake with the rebound, however.
