An excellent book which goes into incredible detail, analysis, statistics and data to document the amazing story of Leo Messi and his time at Barcelona. The book covers four eras of Messi’s evolution at the club, from moving over as a young boy from Argentina playing the academy team and La Mascia, playing under Frank Rijkaard, playing under Pep Guardiola, playing under Luiz Enrique, to his final Barca years playing in difficult circumstances. An excellent summary and analysis of a fantastic career and development of a magnificent player
