Lionel Messi has taken the soccer world by storm. He scored the most goals in a season. Hes racked up championships. There was even a statue built in his honor. Despite the accolades, hes still hungry for more goals, more championships, more opportunities to shine on the soccer pitch.

Diagnosed with a career-threatening medical condition at ten, Messi refused to give up on his dream, and went on to amass one of the greatest careers in sports history.
