    5岁时梅西开始为当地的格兰多里俱乐部踢球，教练就是他的父亲。1995年，他转到了当地的纽维尔斯老伙计队踢球，他的天赋被巴萨的雷克萨奇看中，在2000年将他带到诺坎普，梅西举家搬迁到欧洲。2004-2005赛季，梅西打破了西甲最年轻出场者(后被博扬打破)和进球者的纪录。

    At the age of five, Messi started playing football for Grandoli, a local club coached (1) by his father Jorge. In 1995, Messi switched to Newell's Old Boys who were based in his home city Rosario. Carles Rexach, the sporting director of Barcelona, who had been made aware of (2) his talent, took him to Camp Nou and then the Messi's moved to Europe. Making his debut (3) in the 2004-2005 season, he broke the La Liga record (4) for the youngest footballer to play a league game, and also the youngest to score a league goal (5).

    在阿根廷国家队，梅西从青年队级别开始崭露头角，对手很难从他脚下断球。2005年世青赛上他以6球夺取最佳射手。2006年他成为代表阿根廷参加世界杯的最年轻球员。2008年，他赢得了首个国家队荣誉，代表阿根廷奥林匹克队夺取了金牌。

    Since he played for the Argentine national team, Messi started to show his marvelous aptitude (6) and few could play him off. Later he was the top scorer of the 2005 FIFA World Youth Championship with six goals. In 2006, he became the youngest Argentine to play in the FIFA World Cup. In 2008, he won his first international honour, an Olympic gold medal, with the Argentina Olympic football team.

    梅西有着一个大家庭，有两个哥哥和一个姐姐，父亲乔治·梅西是一名工人，母亲赛莉娅曾干过清洁工。梅西的家庭有着意大利的关联，他的祖先安杰洛·梅西在1883年从阿根廷移居意大利的安科纳，后来又迁回阿根廷。

    Messi was born to parents Jorge Horacio Messi, a factory worker, and Celia María Cuccittini, a part-time cleaner. He has two older brothers as well as a sister. His paternal family originates from (7) the Italian city of Ancona, where his ancestor, Angelo Messi, emigrated to Argentina in 1883.

    梅西的爱情生活一直很低调，最初他和家乡罗萨里奥的女孩马卡雷纳·莱莫斯约会，还和阿根廷模特卢西亚娜传出过恋情。2009年1月，梅西在接受采访时透露：“我有一个女朋友，她在阿根廷，我很轻松和幸福。”而媒体披露，这个女孩是安托内拉·罗库佐，她也是罗萨里奥当地女孩，有传闻称，梅西和她计划在2010年底结婚。

    Messi kept low profile (8) in romantic affairs. He was at one stage romantically linked to (9) Macarena Lemos, also from his hometown of Rosario. He has in the past also been linked to the Argentine model, Luciana Salazar. In January 2009 he told a programme on: "I have a girlfriend and she is living in Argentina, I am relaxed and happy". He was seen with the girl, Antonella Roccuzzo, who is a fellow native of Rosario. They plan to wed near the end of 2010.
