The legend is that Lionel Messi played so well against the youth players in Barcelona that his father demanded that Barcelona sign him immediately. Otherwise his father threatened to fly him back to Argentina.
The above video not shows the evidence of the contract that was signed on a paper napkin, but it also features some rare footage of Messi as a very young boy playing on the football pitch.
Real Madrid v Barcelona is live on ESPN Deportes on Saturday, December 10 at 4PM ET. Watch a preview of El Clasico here.
