assistant: Here's a possible TL;DR for the biography paragraphs:
"Lionel Messi was born to a working-class family in Rosario, Argentina in 1987. He developed a passion for football at a young age and joined his first youth club at age 4. Despite being much shorter than his peers and facing a growth hormone deficiency as a child, Messi's skill was undeniable. He joined Barcelona's youth academy at 13, and after overcoming homesickness and gaining proper treatment for his growth hormone deficiency, he became a star of Barcelona's youth system. By 16, he was promoted to Barcelona's senior team, the start of a record-breaking professional career."

However, the biography covers additional interesting details about Messi's personal life, family, and football upbringing that add valuable context. With the user's interest, here's a more comprehensive TL;DR:
"Lionel Messi was born in 1987 to a working-class family with strong football roots in Rosario, Argentina. Despite being shorter than most of his peers from a young age and being diagnosed with a growth hormone deficiency at 10, Messi showed prodigious football skill. He joined his first youth club at 4 and later the youth academy of local top club Newell's Old Boys. After Newell's reneged on funding for Messi's medical treatment, he moved to Barcelona's La Masia academy at 13. The move was difficult at first as Messi suffered from homesickness, but he eventually flourished in Barcelona's youth system. By 16, Messi's skill and goalscoring feats led to his promotion to Barcelona's senior team, launching his professional career. Since then, Messi has set goalscoring records, won team and individual awards, and established himself as one of the greatest footballers of all time."
