Lionel Messi will face Porto again, the team he first played against in a Barcelona shirt. A fresh-faced, acne-prone youngster wearing a baggy jersey with the number 14 on the back.
It was his debut for Barcelona at the Dragao stadium. A simple friendly match, but for Messi it was the beginning of a dream. Then in 2011, in the final of the European Super Cup, Messi led Barcelona to a 2-0 victory over Porto. He scored a goal and contributed an assist.
After 13 seasons, Messi will face the Portuguese team for the third time - his second in an official match.
