desertcart.com: Messi: The must-read biography of the World Cup champion: 9781399619134: Balague, Guillem: Books Review: Madridista view on Messi - I am real madrid fan and curiosity got me to read this more than anything. I was 16 when Messi made his debut and I remember watching it. I was nervous as I had just spent the last few months arguing on a Internet forum that was not going to amount to anything. That he was another Saviola. Oh how I was wrong. Anyway this is a superb read for any fan of football. This book gives you a look into the mind of Messi, you grow up with him getting kicked all round rosario. You get to feel the anguish an disappointment when he is forced to leave to europe. The journey takes you on through Europe starting as the foreigner nobody could talk to and finishing with the one of the greatest players to ever play. At one point in this book, Messi had been called up for a game for the first team. A lot of the senior players where away on international match. Messi was on the bench and I kept saying to myself 'please bring him on, please' it was surreal here I am a man of 27 who has never met messi but from this book I felt like I have know him all my life and I knew how upset he would have been and from hindsight how he was going to smash. Great read. Hala Madrid. Review: Very thorough and insightful. - Very thorough insite into the life of Messi. One of the greatest soccer players.

Expected it to be new.
The book arrived with creases in a corner of the cover and pages and a residue on the back cover. It was supposed to be new but appears used. Disappointing since it was bought as a gift and I had to pay for shipping. Not worth the effort to return, just doesn’t look new in this condition.

Well written. Reads like a breeze
Captured the human angle of Leo and his family’s struggle in a very poignant manner. We all know the story yet learnt a bit more of the emotions here. Well done Gaillum
