Review:

1. First of all, I would like to say, I really really enjoyed the movie. Watching childhood memories of my best football player would definitely be a great moment for me. Seeing him doing amazing tricks at that small age was a real great moment.

2. The movie featured childhood videos of Messi playing football in local ground. Seeing those moments really made me sure that he is really god gifted. He used to do amazing skills at that time too. He was the shortest among his mates, yet his pace and foot control supported him.

3. This movie is actually covered with football legends and expert, who witnessed him growing old, talking about him. They were lucky enough to watch him grow. Seeing him practice everyday, seeing how he does all those magical skills is an amazing thing which cannot be explained in plain word for Messi Fan.

4. There is a scene where Pique describes Messi. He said something like " I tried to foul that short guy and bring him to ground, but as he started he left us in ground ". That was really epic dialogue. That actually describes Messi. If you look at his entire career, he left many world class defenders and goalkeepers on ground.

5. I actually liked how legend compared him with Diego Maradona. Just like Maradona, Messi has god-gifted foot with the talent of great dribbling. These two geniuses could go past almost any defenders. Even Maradona said that Messi did this job the best. Legends like Johan Cruyff and Pele himself said it openly that Messi is the greatest player. This is really greatest complement any football player can ever get. And if we look at Leo's game, he actually deserves that.

6. I would like to include this point for Leo himself. To be fair, I have never seen a player like that before. The way he keeps football in his feet, running at high speed, looks like there is something that glued the football with his feet. This guy did many thing that seems impossible. One thing that hold my respect to him is that, he always kept his team above him. He always cared about team record rather than personal records. And his passion to the game obviously. If anyone doubt about Messi being the best player in the world, just watch his game as a normal viewer, just focus on what he does in the pitch, I am sure your thought will change.

7. Lastly, all I have to say is that the movie was really awesome. The biography of the living legend, it was exactly what I expected to be. The way this documentary showed his childhood clips and interview with the legends describing about him was perfectly managed. I actually feel real proud to call myself as his fan.  I would like to recommend all football fans to watch this movie. You will witness how a boy suffering from growth hormone deficiency from Argentina struggled his childhood and now has reached the top of football world. This movie is really inspiring.
