Making predictions about players' futures in a sport as fickle as football is a dangerous game, but that hasn't stopped Lionel Messi.
In 2015, the six-time Ballon d'Or winner and Paris Saint-Germain forward picked 10 players he thought had the potential to go all the way to the very top of the game.
The 'Backed by Messi' campaign was a marketing exercise with Adidas, but the Argentinian maestro reportedly made his own choices.
Each young player was sent a pair of Messi's new, specially designed Messi 15 boots and became part of 'Team Messi'.
