(Reuters) - Factbox on Argentina forward Lionel Messi, who left Barcelona on Thursday after his contract expired at the end of June.

Messi, who joined Barca's youth set up aged 13, spent his entire professional career at the club and is their all-time top scorer and appearance maker with 672 goals in 778 games in all competitions.* Joined Barcelona as a 13-year-old in 2000 and shone in the youth ranks before coach Frank Rijkaard gave him a senior debut at the age of 16 in a friendly against Porto in 2003.

* Played a key role as Barca claimed six trophies in the calendar year of 2009 including the Champions League, La Liga, Copa del Rey and Club World Cup.* Won La Liga again in 2010 and retained the Ballon d'Or award, beating Spanish World Cup winners and Barca team mates Andres Iniesta and Xavi. * While Barca failed to retain La Liga or the Champions League, Messi overtook Cesar Rodriguez as Barcelona's all-time leading goalscorer and finished 2012 with an extraordinary total of 91 goals in all competitions -- a record for a calendar year.* Equalled the Champions League scoring record of 71 goals set by former Real Madrid and Schalke 04 forward Raul when he struck twice against Ajax Amsterdam at the end of 2014. Has since been overtaken by Juventus forward Cristiano Ronaldo.
