Origin of Messi's dual citizenship
Born in Rosario, Argentina, Messi grew up poor and loved to play soccer, and he had an extraordinary talent for the game.

He took Messi's soccer video and went to the giants FC Barcelona in a hurry, and showed them Messi's video.

So Messi traveled to Barcelona at a young age and started his legendary red and blue career. Barcelona also helped Messi to apply for a Spanish passport, so that he did not have to take up the Barcelona club's foreign aid quota.
