About this episode
Lionel Messi se inició en el fútbol europeo junto a su equipo en España, el Barça. Desde entonces ha sido imparable. Pero hay un sueño que no ha logrado: ganar la Copa Mundial para su país. Cada vez que Messi regresaba a la Argentina, las cosas parecían terminar mal. Muchos fanáticos llegaron a cuestionar si luego de tanto tiempo en el extranjero, Messi realmente debía pertenecer a la selección nacional.

Esta historia es más que un relato sobre uno de los mejores jugadores del mundo. Es una crónica del precio a pagar cuando uno se va de su país y lo que ocurre cuando se intenta regresar.
