Unless you live under a rock, we all know who Fernando Torres and Lionel Messi are and what they are capable of. Goal after goal these these two light up stadiums around the world with their fantastic goals and performances for Liverpool/Spain & Barcelona/Argentina.
But have you seen them play before they were global stars? Well if you haven't, here are 2 videos of the Torres and Messi when only their families knew who they were:
Here is Fernando Torres at the age of 12 playing for Atletico Madrid against AC Milan. As you can see even then he had a knack for goal as he bangs in 2 against the young Rossenairi. Love the bowl cut.
It didn't take long for Torres to become a household name as his amazing Barclays English Premier League inaugural campaign saw him net 25 times for the Reds. If you missed it, see below and then buy Fox Soccer Channel & Setanta subscriptions as you need to up your game.
Here we have 5 yr old Lionel Messi running circles around his opponents in some genuine footage from 1993.
It doesn't really matter what age he is because he will pretty much dribble around anyone that gets in his way. The clip below displays his class and ability to do whatever he likes with the ball. The video closes with the "Messidona" goal he scored against Getafe 2 seasons ago where he emulated the classic goal scored by Diego Maradona against England in the '86 World Cup in Mexico. The goal is arguably one of the greatest individual efforts to scoring that anyone has ever seen.
