Even at the age of 16, the prospect of the future genius he would turn out to be was evident. A program on 'Barca TV' has aired some interesting shots that show a 16-year-old Leo Messi in action.

The footage dates back to when Messi played for Barcelona's youth team in the 2002/2003 season, the year he proved himself. That same season he would even go on to play for Barcelona's reserve team.

This collection of unrevealed clips is a testimonial to what Leo Messi was and grew up to be. A true genius. One of a kind.
