At 19, Lionel Messi was already out of this world - starring for Barcelona in La Liga and Champions League.
The diminutive Argentine was producing the goods during his teenage years, showing off his talents against the likes of Real Madrid and Manchester United.
Bobbing and weaving past established defenders, making some of the biggest names in the game look extremely average.
Messi wasn't just a king at dribbling but could also pick out a pass in the final third - creating goals for his esteemed strike partners.

One Twitter user wrote: "19 year old Messi > 19 Year old Ronaldo, 19 year old Mbappe, 19 year old Haaland, 19 year old Sancho all combined."
A second tweeted: "Its like he is in fast-forward and everyone else is in slow-mo."
A third compared him to Liverpool's Mohamed Salah: "How can you say anybody was better than this guy.
"At 19 he's already better than Salah is right now, minus the goals lol"

Another questioned: "Can we see another player like this guy? Most improbable but not impossible."
A bonafide generational player who will go down as the greatest footballer in history.
