Messi made his first-team debut for the Catalan side in October 2004 at 17 years old, and was introduced to Nou Camp action in the same team as Giuly.
Messi would go on to make eight appearances during his debut season, scoring one goal at the campaign's end against Albacete.
In the same 2004/2005 season Giuly, playing his first full campaign for Barcelona after his Monaco move, would make 29 appearances scoring on 11 occasions.
