“Messi's first official goal for Barcelona, scored at 17 years and 10 months old. Coming on as an 87th-minute substitute for Eto'o, he received a perfectly weighted lofted through ball from Ronaldinho — then the reigning world's best player — and delicately chipped it over goalkeeper Raúl Valbuena to seal a 2–0 victory over Albacete. Ronaldinho's iconic piggyback celebration became a symbol of the torch being passed to a new generation. It was the first of 672 official goals in a Barcelona shirt, scored in the title-winning 2004–05 La Liga season.”
