Lionel Messi dazzled from his debut in 2004 and has been regularly brilliant in 778 games for Barcelona and 151 for Argentina. AFP Sport picks out seven of his most radiant displays: April 18, 2007: Barcelona v Getafe At 19, Lionel Messi was already well established in Frank Rijkaard's team when he evoked memories of Diego Maradona by dribbling more than half the length of the field to score in the first leg of a Copa del Rey semi-final. Barca were leading Getafe 1-0 at the Camp Nou when, like Maradona against England in 1986, Messi collected the ball facing his own goal, near the right touchline and just inside his own half. Like Maradona, on his way to the 'Goal of the Century', Messi set off. He beat six opponents and the goalkeeper before rolling the ball into the net. Barca won 5-2 with two goals and an assist from their No.19, but lost 4-0 in the second leg.
