19 Year Old Lionel Messi Was Unbelievable 😱 

How much would 19 year old Messi cost in 2023?

Compilation of 19 year old Messi is better than compilations of entire career of most players.

When I saw Messi playing football for the first time, I already knew he was a genius. The real genius you recognize in the very first touch of the ball. The dude is simply a monster! The greatest genius in footbal history: real and absolute GOAT!

I still remember my amazement when seeing Messi in his first season with Barca, first season he was playing regularly, 2005/06... He was far from a complete attacker, goal and assist monster he became later on... But seeing him running at full speed with the ball staying so tight to him, glued to his feet, always able to change direction... I couldn't believe that was possible. I've never seen a player running with the ball the way he did, neither before or after that. Forget about the old free kick master, long pass master Messi... The young Messi, with that cartoonish acceleration, ball control, balance etc was a sight to watch. Breathtaking.

Football has seen many great young players. But what we were privileged to see was the career of a star who shone bright right from the start and kept going nonstop; without getting seriously injured, wasn't overtaken by unprecedented fame, didn't lose focus and rebel. He just kept going and going and even won the Worldcup at 35. That level of consistency is just as miraculous as his skill, if not more.

One thing that always amazes me about Messi is that every single year of his career highlights looks like a whole career of every other player

There's nothing left to say about this man. I'm just glad to have been alive to watch his story unfold. It's been a privilege.

“it’s like PlayStation You give the ball to the guy and he start running through the whole team” - Zlatan..

Nothing to be blown away about , He is doing exactly what he was doing when he was 4 years old.

There are no words that do justice to this man's incredible talent.

Since 19 years old he was the Goat. Absolute genius!

Notice, when many strikers "flop" when a defender even breathes on them, Messi keeps his feet, keeps moving forward, keeps seeking the chance to pass or score. The difference...

I would say this was the best version of Messi physically. Man had explosive energy. 🔥🔥🔥

I remember watching him grow in confidence as he realized how much better than everyone he was. Was a sight to behold.

See? Stop comparing him to any othrr players. Messi is another level.

I still remember the first time in my life I have ever seen Messi playing. It was in a youth world cup under 19 or 20, in The Netherlands I believe Messi was 17 at the time. I have never seen him before, I have never heard about him before. It was a game between USA vs Argentina and Messi only started playing in the 2nd half. Even within the first 2 minutes he already made a crazy impression to me. And to be honest, even after all these years, I can't name any football player in the world who stunned me as much as he did. In that match, Messi didn't score, didn't assist, didn't win, in fact he lost against the USA under 20 team, which was an absolutely nothing special team. But mate, this guy was crazy, he just walked through a whole bunch of opponents like it was a very normal thing to do and not just once, but like every couple of minutes. There was absolutely no doubt for me that this kid, and he really looked like a shy little unsure kid at the time, was by far the best player I have ever seen. I told my classmates about him on school, nah they said, Ronaldinho, he's the best! Have you seen Messi playing? No, but Ronaldinho is the best player in the world! Oke buddy. That tournament Messi received a reward for beïng the best player, the top scorer, and Argentina won the tournament, he became a youth world champion, soon after he became the olympic champion as well. I remember "Piet de Visser" telling Maradona to call Messi, which Maradona really did, and you really saw little kid Messi beïng amazed and shocked and happy at the same time. I think Messi doesn't even know that it was Piet de Visser who initiated this. Either way, even by looking at this vid back, you see all the things all over again, the way he passed these players isn't normal, the reaction speed he got in the most crazy situations is stunning. This kid is special, he is by far the best player ever in my opinion.

I still remember the first time i saw Messi playing one of his first games with Barça, long long time ago. I was at the Camp Nou supporting my team, Barça. Trust me if i tell you that day, while i was returning to home, I was so wishful with "that fresh new kid". The feelings were special, like something great was coming. Since that day, and during years supporting Barça, I saw him growing in each game, and I must say is the only player that could make me feel I was so lucky to stay in Camp Nou watching him make magic.

If I had the chance to watch 19 year Messi again , I would do it 🔥

It's impressive to see that he is not bothered by how many opponents are in front of him in the penalty area. He seems to be very assured of his own skills.

Por culpa de Leo ya no me impresiona ningún jugador por más talentoso que sea.

The greatest there ever was , The greatest there ever is , The greatest there ever will be.

Messi the only G.O.A.T 🐐👑

Para mí Messi es el mejor jugador de fútbol que ha existido en la historia.

I still think that Jose Peckerman not using Messi against Germany in 2006 was one of the worst decision he made after the substitution of requilme, Argentina were really favourites that year. He was not yet the complete player but he was damn near uncatchable

This guy is incomparable to CR7, Messi is miles ahead of him with pure natural talent.

I came here to rewatch the wizard, the genius, the 🐐 from his very beginning. He was something else, He's still something else.

Messi is still unbelievable

19 year old Messi destroyes Cannavaro Carlos Cole Robben Ramos Terry Scholes!! Already goat level player

That view we had of Messi going past Paul Scholes with ease makes it look like the ball was tied to his boot laces.

He was special since inception. 🐐🐐🐐

Messi es Maradona, Ronaldiño, CR7, Ronaldo, Neymar, Iniesta, Busquet, Zidane, Haland, Mbappe, Ribery, Robben, Henry, Rooney, Van Persey y etc. Todo en uno, Messi.

The Acceleration, the body movement, the way the ball is stuck to his foot no matter what direction or space, MAYBE 96/97 R9 comes close in terms of age but Messi plays like an entire glitch. You just have to scoff in disbelief, rewind and watch the same move four times and still not understand how he was able to dribble out of that…alien absolute alien

Dribbling Roberto Carlos Is Not For Everyone.

Unreal ball control capabilities.

Messi is still unbelievable. He was special since inception. .

The scariest thing about Messi is that this is not even his prime.

He was already the best at 19

He was definitely the chosen one, he was so unreal in his prime 🔥

I'm just glad I was alive to witness it. Absolute magic.

I think Messi even likes having 3 or 4 defenders "gathered in his name" He feels at home then.

ハーランドとかエムバペみたいな怪物って言われてる選手達と比べても次元が違う上手さ……

A este le tocó vivir el fúbol más difícil de la época más competividad, jugadores fuertes.sin límites único

Imagine being told you had to man mark a young Messi 😂 man, he’d body feint my soul out of my body.

These days when i see Messi, he is like saint. The master, who knows everything, know every swing of the circular object, knows what's happening inside opposition. This features does not come naturally, years of study , observation, 360 view on and off the field, something out of our imagination.

when i saw him the very first time like he's 17 i fall in love with his talent never saw before he's a special talent

This is that one player that makes everyone look like they are special because every rubbish pass turns to something amazing with him

The best player of my era. And I’m 423 years old

Messi is already INFINITY at 19 y.o. A pure stylist and genius. That's why he deserved all titles in Football ❤❤

When i look at the next gen, seeing mbappe, vini, haaland, rashford, bellingham, saka, musiala, pedri and gavi, i still feel a *the greatness of Messi in that jersey number 19 of his over all of them*, no one comes close, some might throw in mbappe, but *virgin Messi* bodies him all day, mbappe wins with pace, the rest is just a *goat's meal*

His footwork is pure artistry. The ball is on a string. Just beautiful

The funniest part was defenders were so harsh back then

The best player in the world at 19 only Messi but they didn't want to give him the balon dor.

If there's time travel, I would watch every game he plays in live. 😢

¡Ver estos compilados sobre Messi es enviciante! 😵 THE GOAT! 🙌🏼🇦🇷

I remember still very clearly the sensation I got from watching Messi on tv at 2006 world cup !! I said he was a God of football !! He was only 19 !!! 👍👍👍💜🥁🐉🎤🎶🇦🇷⚽️💞

good luck finding the next Messi it will take years to find another.

Messi ha jugado en una liga aparte, una liga en la que sólo él podía competir. Después vienen los grandes cracks del fútbol como Ronaldinho, Maradona, Pelé, Ronaldo, CR7, y tantos otros, pero Lio ha sido único. Aún hoy en sus años finales sigue haciendo magia.

For more than a decade he still made a headline 🎉

He was brutal at 19 🫠

"Wonderful. Simply wonderful."-Best Messi 's description.

Mbappe is just at a boy from the kinder garden compared to this Messi. Imagine peak Messi now..

Неудержимый! Талант от Бога! Великолепно!

very good speed, best in dribbling, best 1-2 pass very good shooting too these 4 attributes establish him the best footballer achievement of all time

What a talent

He was already Ballon'dor 3rd place at age of 19, even better than Ronaldinho in his team

Messi is unbelievable at any age playing football.

messi #19 and #30 was a different beast, relentless, ruthless, raw, and quick...fast with his feet but quite selfish until he was too crowded to pass the ball...he developed well as he age, from winger, mid, false 9, playmaker, etc. He adapted well thanks to his coaches and managers.

That "Maradona -like" goal of Messi is absolutely epic and is more enjoyable when hear "ancara Messi, ancara Messi" 😎😎😎

Messi is an amazing person which is his biggest human capital and that is the code that constantly brings him great success on the pitch.

Like the guy doesn't go down 😢 even when tackled😂😂😂

I never played soccer and have hardly ever watched any soccer.One day while I was channel surfing I stopped briefly on a channel when I heard applause and screaming from the announcer. It was a soccer game and Lionel Messi had just scored. I have played many sports on a very competeive level and after watching Messi in that one game I said he was and is the most dominant player in his sport and more dominating than the best player in their respective sport. God disguises Himself as Lionel Messi when He plays soccer.

Buena recopilación Messi era un mounstro a esa edad era imparable solo haciéndole falta podían pararlo

How can he be described really? Wow

messi 2006-2007 was beast 🥵

19 year old Messi was like Maradona on steroids. The thing was. Messi never really got better than this, just more efficient. These runs were unbelievable.

Messi been Messi since he first touched a ball. He just dominated the soccer world by 19. Truly one of the greats, if not the greatest. God bless the game

I was a ronaldo fan initially but once i saw messi playing i knew this boy is genius and became his fan. I love Ronaldo TOO but Messii he is the BEST

I miss these times so much! What a wonderful time that was!

Que locura, desde chiquito es lo que siempre imaginé de como se debe jugar al fútbol y era igual a eso que hacía Messi de los 18 a los 25

La que le hace a Roberto Carlos dejándolo descuageringado es antológica

THE GOAT almost killed R Carlos even he was 19

1:45 didnt know Messi had a hand of god goal too xD amazing

11:39 that skill though🥵

The best ⚽️🔥

It's magic💯 It's a gift from God🫸🫷 Messi is the best thing that has happened in the history of world football🌟💫💥

Amazing player. Even when he can't reach the ball, his instinct is to score. The "hand of god" goal at 1m.42s. says that beautifully. Memories of the great Maradona R.I.P.

Talent surely blessed by a higher power than which we can conceive

Siempre ha sido increíble pero cada vez aprende locuras nuevas este tipo no para más

19 year old messi is monster❤️❤️❤️ no one can beat this version👿👿👿

5:03 , 5:04 buh seriously how could Messi do that to someones father😢 , I wonder how that guy is doing now , sorry he had to face the goat in his prime 🕊️😞

El mejor Messi que vi en mi vida. El tipo encaraba al que sea y lo mejor era que los dejaba pintados. El mejor de la historia

I was a big fan of Maradona and was understandably depressed after his retirement..but along came Messi and football was joyful again... he's the most complete footballer ever... playmaker, finisher... even great in defence...Leo is unsurpassable

It‘s pure joy watching him play

Messi es el mejor del mundo desde que tiene 16 años hasta el dia de hoy

What does time do to us... More recently, Messi was a teenager whose game was a pleasure to watch. And now the spindle. And somehow it all flew by.

Nice video. For me, Messi is the best player of the millienum. But Ronaldinho was the most fun player to watch of the millennium. Whether the ball was on the ground or in the air. He performed magic movements of the ball.

3:54 right after the left foot touch he sets himself up for a shot by dribbling the bounce back down with his knee 🤯 Pure genius
