On February 15, 2002, with the consent of FIFA, Messi was finally registered with the Royal Spanish Football Federation, thus removing all restrictions on his participation in matches. On February 17, in his first match against the Esplugues de Llobregat club, he scored a hat-trick (final score 14: 1) [40]. Messi quickly found his game and began to appear frequently in the starting lineup of the youth team, scoring a goal per game on average, scoring 36 goals in 30 matches in just a season. In the decisive match of the league, Barcelona beat Espanyol with a minimum score, in this match Messi collided with the opponent's defender and received a fracture of his right zygomatic bone. A few days later, the "blue garnet" was to play again with "Espanyol" for the youth Cup of Catalonia. Messi entered the field in a plastic protective mask and scored a brace, which helped his team win 4:1 [41]. In the youth team of Barcelona, Messi met Gerard Piqué and Cesc Fabregas[42]. At the end of the season, London's Arsenal became interested in all three. The club offered Messi a more lucrative contract, but Lionel and his father refused, Piqué moved to Manchester United, as a result of all three, only Fabregas went to Arsenal[43]. In the Barcelona under-16 team, Messi was coached by Angel Guillermo Hoyos, who developed a strength training system for Lionel to gain muscle mass, and also made him the team captain. Together with the Oyosa team, Messi took part in the youth tournament in Japan under the auspices of Toyota, he was recognized as the best player in the tournament

The facade of the Barcelona youth academy, where Messi got at the age of 13
At the age of 13, Lionel was in the Barcelona youth team, his first coach at the club was Rodolfo Borrell, with whom Messi had a good relationship [36]. However, he experienced problems with adaptation in Barcelona: people spoke mainly Catalan, Latin Americans were treated disrespectfully. Also, after a trip home to Rosario, everyone except Messi's father expressed a desire to stay in their homeland. An additional complication was that Messi could not participate in national competitions without the permission of the Argentine Football Association, Newells had to provide this, but the club wanted to receive financial benefits. Coach Albert Benaiges found a loophole: Lionel needed to play two matches in the regional federation, which was done. However, in the second game against Tortosa, Lionel suffered a fracture in his left fibula. Not having time to recover from the injury, he also sprained the ankle ligaments on the same leg when he went down the stairs[37]. At the same time, a new CEO, Javier Farguel, came to the club, who planned to reduce Barcelona's costs. He wanted to cut Messi's fee by five times - to 20 million pesetas. Messi's father was strongly opposed and even threatened to organize a transfer to Real Madrid, having already contacted the sports director of the capital's club, Jorge Valdano. As a result, on December 5, 2001, Messi signed a new contract, which turned out to be even somewhat more profitable than the first[38]. Also, at the age of 14, Messi's course of treatment came to an end

When Lionel was 13 years old, two football agents from Rosario drew attention to him: Martin Montero and Fabian Soldini - they claimed to have connections with the management of Barcelona and promised Messi's father to organize a viewing at the club. On September 17, 2000, Messi and his father arrived in Catalonia, but the viewing took place only on October 3, since the club's sports director, Carles Reshak, was at the Sydney Olympics. At the screening, Messi played with 15-year-olds[32]. Reshak was greatly impressed by the player's talent, which is why he convinced the board of directors of the "blue garnet" to pay for the treatment, as well as the transfer of the Messi family to Europe (Messi refused to live in a hostel, also according to FIFA rules, a minor foreigner must be accompanied by one of the parents) [33]. Messi's father gave Reshak an ultimatum that Barcelona must confirm their intentions to buy Lionel. As a result, on December 14, 2000, he signed an agreement to conclude a contract with Lionel on a napkin, sitting in a bar[30][34]. In January 2001, Barcelona promised the Messi family a loan of 120,000 euros to cover all necessary expenses. In mid-February, the entire Messi family moved to Barcelona. On March 1, the final contract was signed, Messi was entitled to a payment of 100 million pesetas per year, as well as a number of additional payments[

The treatment was expensive, the family's savings and insurance payments covered only two years of therapy, and at least three were needed. Messi's godfather Claudio regularly gave money for Messi's treatment. Lionel's father Jorge approached the club for a loan, but in the end, in a few months, the Messi family received only 400 pesos from the club[28]. During Messi's appearances for Newells, River Plate was interested in him. Lionel and his teammate Leandro Jimenez were invited to the screening. In a sparring match, Messi scored nine goals, his game made an impression on the representatives of the "Rivera" [29]. However, due to the Argentinean economic crisis, the club did not have enough money to pay for the treatment, as it cost 1,000 pesos a month[30]. Also while playing for Newell's in the fall of 2000, Messi gave his first interview in the print media. One of the largest newspapers in Rosario, La Capital, wrote an article about Lionel on the front page called "A unique little" L***r ""

On March 21, 1994, Messi's father, as a legal representative, signed Lionel's first contract with Newell's Old Boys [25]. In January 1996, the team of boys born in 1987 won the Friendship Cup of Peru. Messi entered the field after suffering from a serious food poisoning, but he managed to score eight goals, thanks to which his team won 10:0. In 1999, the team earned the nickname "The Invincibles" when they won 45 matches (three 15-game tournaments) in a row. Often, rivals played against Messi roughly, in one of the matches he was knocked down, as a result of which he broke his wrist. In total, from 1994 to 2000, the Argentinean scored more than 500 goals for the club[26]. At the age of 10, Messi was diagnosed with somatotropin (growth hormone) deficiency [27]. Messi's height was 127 cm, and weight - about 30 kg. The examination lasted for six months, as a result, he was prescribed regular injections that had to be injected into the quadriceps

Messi was spotted in Barcelona and invited for a two-week trial period in September 2000. On September 17, 2000, he and his father arrived in Barcelona for the first time and for 2 weeks waited for a meeting with the sports director of FC "Barcelona" Carles Rešak, who was on a foreign business trip in Sydney[10]. When Reshak saw the boy in the game, he immediately wanted to sign him, but the board of directors hesitated; at that time it was very unusual for European clubs to sign foreign players at such a young age. On December 14, Barcelona was faced with an ultimatum - whether it wants to take the player. Reshak persuaded the management of Barcelona to pay for Leo's family's move to Barcelona and for his treatment, which was quite expensive. Having no other paper at hand, Reshak signed the contract on a paper napkin[21][22]. In February 2001, the family moved to Barcelona, where they settled in an apartment near the Camp Nou stadium. In his first year in Spain, Messi rarely played for the Infantiles due to a transfer dispute with Newell: as a foreigner, he could only play in friendly matches and the Catalan league. Without football, it was difficult for him to integrate into the team. He was naturally talented, but so quiet that his teammates initially thought he was dumb. Homesick at home in Barcelona after his mother moved back to Rosario with his brothers and little sister María Sol while he stayed in Barcelona with his father

Messi supported his hometown club Newell's Old Boys from an early age and joined the club from Rosario when he was six years old. During his six years at Newells, he scored almost 500 goals. They were known as the '87 Machine, a near-invincible youth team named after the year they were born, who regularly entertained the crowd by performing ball tricks at half-time in the first team's home matches.[15][16] However, his future as a professional player was in jeopardy when he was diagnosed with growth hormone deficiency at the age of 10. The father's health insurance only covered two years of HGH treatment[en], which cost more than $1,000 a month. Newells management initially agreed to reimburse the remainder, but later reneged on their promise.[17] He was considered by scouts from the Buenos Aires club River Plate, whose playmaker Pablo Aimar he adored, but they too were unable to pay for his treatment due to Argentina's economic crisis.[18][19] Ronaldo became his teenage goal-scoring idol. Messi called him "the best forward I've ever seen
