  • Messi eventually grew to 5 feet and 7 inches, and with his short stature, speed and relentless attacking style, he drew comparisons to another famous Argentinean footballer: Diego Maradona. Messi steered Barcelona to a wealth of success, most notably in 2009, when the left-footer's team captured the Champions League, La Liga, and Spanish Super Cup titles. That same year, after two consecutive runner-up finishes, he took home his first FIFA "World Player of the Year" honor/Ballon d'Or award.

      subtopic: career As stated on biography.com, Messi first started being compared to Diego Maradona when he reached his height of 5 ft 7 in and his short speed and aggresive play style began being noticed. During 2009, Messi and his left foot really were to thank for Barcalona's titles, including the Champions League, La Liga, and the Spanish Super Cup. He also won the FIFA "World Player of Year" and honor/Ballon d'Or awards after coming second two times in a row.
  • Even the great Maradona gushed about his fellow countryman. "I see him as very similar to me," the retired player told the BBC. "He's a leader and is offering lessons in beautiful football. He has something different to any other player in the world."
