yes but

a) he's been playing top level for 10 years already, which for lesser players it's often a whole career (21-31 or whatever).

b) his reputation for indestructibility was finally put to rest-- messi does get injured. and yes he's not going to croak next year (knock on wood) but at some point his body will start veeery slowly crumbling. i mean look at ribéry at the moment.

c) assuming he pulls a totti/scholes, he could play for another 10 years, so this could be il mezzo del cammin for him-- not a bad time to evaluate your (professional) life if you go by dante.

d) the older we get the faster time passes so yes, it's been that long --- he's been playing 10 years for the senior barça team already. "but it was just yesterday!".
