Lionel Messi's international career got off to a dazzling start when he led Argentina to victory in the 2005 Under-20 World Cup.
He continued his impressive form three years later, providing the assist for the winning goal as Argentina won gold at the 2008 Olympic Games.
However, success eluded him at senior level for a while, losing his first four finals with the team.
The 37-year-old finally ended that drought in 2021, winning the Copa America title, and then scoring two goals in the final to lift the World Cup a year later.
