Olympic gold in 2008

An Olympic gold medal is a pretty big deal already, but this was not just about the final, it was about the future; the first glimpse that Pep Guardiola might reach Messi in a way that no one else could. The battle went back and forth; Argentina wanted Messi to be at the Olympics; Barcelona, who had a Champions League qualifier to worry about, did not. Rules and regulations were quoted, arguments and counter-arguments expressed.
Everyone had a say and in the middle of it all was Messi. He wanted to play, of course, but he kept quiet. All he could do would wait, even if Diego
Maradona didn't think so. "Messi should be more of a man," he said. FIFA declared that Messi had to go to the Olympics, so Messi headed off to China. Meanwhile, the case was heard at the Court of Arbitration for Sport, who ruled that Messi should rejoin Barcelona. All the battle, all the effort, all the expense and Barcelona have finally won.



A club/country battle nearly prevented Messi from playing at the 2008 Olympics but he went on to win gold.
