I only know Lionel Andres Messi.But he is not 18 years old,he is 19.He is the new Maradona,that's what Maradona himself said.
Lionel Andrés Messi (born 24 June 1987 in Rosario, Argentina) is an Argentine football player, who currently plays as a second striker for FC Barcelona. He is often touted in the media as "the new Diego Maradona".
Lionel Messi started playing football at a very early age for his hometown club, Newell's Old Boys. From the age of 11, he suffered from a hormone deficiency. As his parents were unable to pay for treatment in Argentina, they decided to move to Barcelona, Spain. Shortly after arriving, Lionel tried his luck with a trial at FC Barcelona, despite being only 13 years of age. He excelled at the trial and rapidly found himself starting for the Barcelona B team, averaging more than a goal per game.

Lionel Messi, who was 18 at the time of the goal, scored for Argentina against Serbia and Montenegro in a lopsided 6-0 victory.
He plays for FC Barcelona in Spain (which he joined at age 13), one of the top club teams in the world.
He turned 19 in the middle of the World Cup (June 24th). He was the MVP of the U-20 FIFA World Cup last year.

Lionel Messi. Word on the street is that he may be the next Diego Armando Maradona, the famous legend who scored in the most cheating way, using the hands. Don't get me wrong, he's a great player, and so is Messi.
