Ses professeurs, entraîneurs, amis d’enfance et coéquipiers du Barça, ainsi que des journalistes, des écrivains et des personnalités de l’histoire du football, se réunissent dans un restaurant pour analyser et distinguer la personnalité de Messi, sur et en dehors du terrain, et pour faire le point des moments les plus significatifs de sa vie. Considéré sous l’angle unique d’Alex de la Iglesia, Messi reconstitue l’enfance et l’adolescence du joueur, et ce, dès ses tout premiers pas, avec un ballon toujours à ses pieds, jusqu’à la décision de quitter Rosario pour Barcelone, la séparation de sa famille et la rôle joué dans sa carrière par des personnalités telles que Ronaldinho, Rijkaard, Rexach et Guardiola.

Si le documentaire aborde l'enfance, le début de carrière en Argentine et en Espagne ainsi que les années 1992 et suivantes, c'est surtout la période napolitaine (1984-1991) qui représente l'essentiel du film. En effet, cette petite décennie au SSC Napoli constitue l'apogée de la carrière de l'attaquant argentin et des excès de sa vie privée.

The film revisits the iconic footballing footage: Paul Gascoigne's tears, Gary Lineker's goals, David Platt's volley against Belgium, Lineker mouthing to the touchline after Gascoigne's yellow card against West Germany, Bobby Robson's rueful smile and consoling Gascoigne with the words, "You've got your life ahead of you. This is your first." As well as English football hooligans, Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher backing a proposal to stop England going to Italy, Tory Sports minister Colin Moynihan encouraging the Italian police to be extremely firm with England's supporters, the tabloid press hounding of Sir Bobby and Chris Waddle's calamitous penalty shoot-out kick. It weaves rare, unseen footage with a Gary Oldman-voiced narrative and a soundtrack with early nineties music.
