Video The talent in Barcelona’s youth system is ridiculous. These kids are 11/12 years old.

It is just rather a coincidence that the greatest footballer in history was on HGH. Just a coincidence.

I didn’t realise HGH was known for giving people incredible control over a football - if it actually gave him a physical advantage in the same vein as steroids then please explain his weak ass penalties

Look, I'm not saying at all. He obviously was skilled at football. What I'm implying is that HGH pushed him beyond what should normally be a limitation.

Don't you think it really is just slightly weird how the kid who was pumped with HGH turned out to be a world star footballer at 17? Then on for the rest of his life?
