Messi is different from others He can drop a masterclass without scoring a goal He cannot be measured by goals. His contribution in the build-up of the goals is insane
We always talk about Ronaldo's mentality, how strong he is mentally but we don't say the same for Messi.... Just because Messi is little bit quiet and he doesn't like to talk about himself doesn't mean he is not strong mentally... Messi just perform and let the whole world talk about him... Both are mentally super strong... Messi just don't like to talk about it... That's all.
@@diehardculer9856 Maradona was an ass to messi. Didnt want him to die, but he doesent deserve to see Messi winning. Messis career is way bigger than Maradonas
The ONLY reason Maradona said what he did is because he sees Messi as a threat. Also, notice how the criticism was about something intangible like 'character' rather than ANYTHING that is measurable because he knows Messi has him beat. More than that, Messi had him beat by age 25.
@@EmkaySA13 gotta add that Messi won the world cup by scoring with his feet, as a serious football player should do... the comparison to Maradona is just an insult for Messi's talent and achievments.
I love Messi relationship with lots of legends. Those who played with him respect him as a great player, team leader and those played against him respect him as a legend.
How humble Ronaldinho could be . Inspite being best player of world he always tells everyone that new best player have arrived . And he was sure that messi could be the no 1 . World misses messi and Ronaldinho 's partnership isn't it true?
I think the first video is the one that really changed Messi, he's now the greatest leader i ever seen! Thank you for always being yourself Diego, may you have the biggest smile now
Messi did not compete with cristiano, it was cristiano who tried to compete with messi. And respect for the man that he got such achievement during the messi era.
Yes. Ronaldo's performance improved because of Messi. Ronaldo's performance declined after he left Real Madrid because of absence of Messi to remind him as to who was the best amongst the two.
Messi, a Barca traitor or Legend? Messi came to Barca as a 13 y.o. boy. With Xavi and Iniesta, they won everything from 2005-2011. Barca is a registered association and every supporters love Messi. Barca had the list of club history super stars (eg Maradona, Hagi, Ronaldo and Rivaldo etc) , yet they also want to have their own legendary product, the home grown legend, and Messi was the one. Thus Barca maintain the squads based on Messi's playing style. After both Xavi and Iniesta left Barca, Barca got lots of big money signings. However unable to find new replacement of the Age of Golden Midfielders (Xavi and Iniesta), Barca no longer the same level as it was be. As a homemade legend at Barca, Messi has every power above the club. Neymar knows it at Barca, even they both are good friends he still could only play around Messi, thus Neymar left for PSG. Barca had great debt long ago, in 2012-13 season Messi's fixed wage rose to €13 million after tax, with 10 million of incentives. Barca' La Masia was once good at developing home grown players. However as the club builds around Messi, Barca trends to buy star players to suit Messi's playing style. Messi has all the speaking power at Barca, is nothing a secret (He had conflicts with several Barca coaches). Once teammate of Messi, Eric Abidal at the time as Barca's director of football, publicly stated that some players not working hard enough. Messi then opened fires on him, asking Abidal to speak out who's the players. 2014 World Cup was a disappointment for Messi's Argentina team, losing the final. The following final defeat at Copa America upset Messi alot, announced to quit the national team for the first time (Messi forced the national coach Martino to step down as well. Martino was fired after a bad season at Barca in 2014 whom then went on coaching the Argentine team.) Then during the pandemic after the shock 8-2 defeat to Bayern (15th August), Messi once again want to quit the team, this time with his beloved team, Barca. Eric Abidal also resigned following the Champion League defeat. Well, from this moment most Barca supporters still believe Barca has poor management that makes Messi want to leave, but this is not the truth! Real Zaragoza fail to promote to La Liga due to their top striker loan ended, harming their playoff match performance. And this happen at 5th August. Real Zaragoza even tried to sue the Spanish FA. Messi then on 25th August made publicly he was betrayed by the president, lies about he could go a year prior to his contract ends. Barca then claims that the agreement already expired at June. Well, well, well. By noticing the Real Zaragoza case, Messi clearly misleading the public by saying he WAS BETRAYED. Messi was just trying to make up the reason for leaving Barca. And clearly he was upset by the Bayern defeat. Why? As matter of the fact, he could leave for free at June which he didn't, because he knows he got no reason to grab for jumping ship so suddenly. Messi knows he would be accused as traitor, and all his contributions at Barca would become no acknowledgment. Messi had history of tax evasion, had his Dad working as his agent. When being accused for tax evasion, his dad stated Messi learns nothing as he's always the one who's handling Messi's financial matters. Messi's Dad is not a fool, does anyone believe Jorge Messi can't figure out when's the contract end? If Messi is loyal to Barca, Jorge Messi could renew contract for Messi during the entire year, not after Messi become a free player nor after the La Liga salary cap reformed. Messi had too much power at Barca. Laporta once says, KEEPING MESSI COULD HAVE MADE BARCA AT RISK FOR THE NEXT 50 YEARS. The club president Bartomeu and Eric Abidal resigned, Aguero signed. For keeping Messi, Barca does everything. Barca makes Messi a legend, and Messi put Barca at risk of bankruptcy. ⠠⠇⠕⠇⠁⠀⠠⠍⠽⠇⠥⠧⠀⠈⠯⠀⠠⠝⠁⠹⠁⠇⠽⠀⠠⠡⠻⠊⠑ If people believe Luis Figo was a Barca traitor, then Messi must be the Barca's Traitor of the Century
@@AnchansFunWorld barca own him money also he offer playing free for barca but no one care for old messi, yep look who claiming to be having messi when he won worldcup, shame on you
no not really. youre either born humble or your not. you can learn to become more humble with time if you werent born that way. you act like being cocky is an overwhelming feeling that everyone has and has a hard time controlling the beast. i think its more impressive for someone who was born cocky to make the change. that takes bigger cojones
Though I liked Maradona' s style of football which is more like a bully I admire the unmatchable dribbling skills with which he can make great defenders look like incapable of stopping him and scored so many goals from difficult angles. His sheer consistency at Barcelona over a long period and for Argentina too make him a better player than Maradona. Messi' s composure on the field despite rough tackles from opponents is noteworthy. Maradona was good to watch on the field but his private life, addiction to drugs etc does not reflect well. Messi is a family man with an ideal family. Despite so much achievements he remains humble, respectful to others. God bless him with good health always..
Leo I never, ever, even after the Copa America final of 2016 doubted about you and your will and selfless absolute passion for our country football team. In fact, I was so pissed and angered at all football toxic, corrupt environment and brainless criticism that I stopped watching football. I really, writing this in tears, really hope and pray for you and the amazing group that is with you to win this sunday, so you can shut up countless bitchy mouths and show the world that surrender is not a choice when you have what you need to succeed. Thanks for the magic, for the humility and hope. We love you Lionel Andrés Messi.
And they finally won. No script could match what we witnessed. Epic, unforgettable. No words can describe what we felt and the rainbow of emotions we've been thought. Absolute perfect ending of the story. Thanks Scaloneta, for ever.
@@r.s.mitter976 Football is a team sport fool,no single player can win a tournament on his own.This is not tennis or boxing where a single individual decides everything as there is no way a player can be a striker,a winger, a midfielder,a full back,centre forward and a goalkeeper at the same time.Thats why there are 11 players on the pitch. Great players like the likes of Maradona,pelle,messi cr7 need better players around them for them to unleash their majic and full potential. Even maradona did not score a single goal in the 3-2 win against Germany in 86 wcup final that they dorminated,other players did and showed up when it really mattered but his influence in general boosted their chances of them winning.Remember he even had to cheat but thats a story for another day.Messi was brilliant in copa America but him too did not score in the final,Di Mariah did even though Messi was very influential in general by contributing 9 out of the 11 goals Argentina scored in the whole tournament. So it would be wrong to sit here and say oh,Messi won the copa for Argentina by himself the same way i hear delusional people say Maradona won the wcup for Argentina by himself.No its argentina that won the tournament where Messi was the difference.Had Higuin also not squandered the miss of the century in that wcup final against the Germans in 2014,Argentina and Messi as a player would be a world champion.So again its about the team,details and some element of luck which can determine the difference between success and failure when it comes to football. Same way cr7 won the euros in 2016.Ronaldo was even taken off that final with an injury and didn't participate much and its the heroics of Pepe and Eder who scored the winning goal who were the heroes.Still no way portugal would have gotten to that final without cristiano's influence.What i want people like u to know is that no matter how great a player is,no one can do it alone as football is a team sport.And teams win tournaments not individuals.Individual talents just spice up the chances of that success but its never a guarantee.
@@_.rooo._x what u think of CR7 and Messi is only for u.........u think CR7 wud gaf abt ur opinion.....thats why CR7 and Messi are the best......and ppl like u while away your time laughing at the other player
People say that pep guordiola is the man who made legends but I say the pep can make players like Phil Foden but not messi cuz the only person who made messi and is his best friend till date is non other than Ronaldinho cuz the support that he provided to messi is just unbelievable.
It's been one year of watching football...I only heard from my one of frnds about Messi..after that I start watching football and I came to know Messi...the G.O.A.T
Amazing video..and article..its sums up all...Messi is one of the rarest talent I have ever see after Pele and Maradona.. Hope to see you more in coming years...
For every special footballer, there's only one brand. Themselves, From Pele, Van Bastien, Gullit, Oliva Kan, Maradona, Buffon, Kafu... oooh the list is endless to today's Messi and Ronaldo, each was great and incomparable and great achievements are yet to come. I celebrate football each day I watch great matches. For this time, thank you Messi
@@maxsavage3998 bruh if your trying to imply messi is better than Ronaldo and all idc 😐 , u cant deny what the 2 of the players have done in their career and u have to respect both its ok to chose one it isn't ryt to disrespect the other
@@miribrahim1136 Messi in his prime beat Ronaldo in his prime head to head Barcelona vs Madrid. Messi scored 2 goals and hattricks almost every time Against CR7 Modric Ozul Di Maria Bekham Benzema Kroos Bale Pepe Alonso Jaimes the brazilian star and Ramos Courtois and the star Spanish goalie. Messi beat the billion dollar superstar team very bad every time. They killed Ronaldo and the rest everytime. Ronaldo could not do anything. I rest my case. Messi is way way way way way ahead of C7
@@maxsavage3998 whatever u say mate idc if u wanna be messi fan boy then go be it but if you see by actual football fans logic instead of riding messi you will learn to appreciate both and no need to reply back cuz i am not tryna waste time on messi fanboys
@@miribrahim1136 your not getting it bud. The facts are facts. Being a fan has nothing to do with the plain facts. Facts dont care about your feelings. The facts show messi is much better than cr7.
