Who say - especially great football players, coaches - he is the best ever, they are just stupid. Even R9 was better. Maradona was better with levels. But most people are stupid.
Lionel Messi a god amongst men, which is exactly what he is, the greatest of all time, I respect ronaldo he's a great goal scorer but he hasn't got a patch on Lionel messi
That's not his fault, Argentina is such a lame selection right now (won't enter in debate about hystorical teams, but the actual selection, and by that I am talking about last 20 years) its so obvious that its a weak team as soon that in the friendly against Nigeria without Messi they got crushed; this man is so great that he can carry ALONE a whole National Team to the Hardest competition because he is such a legendary player; the thing is that in Argentina he can't fail nor rest 'cause as soon he does Argentina falls, his teammates are useless, as soon he fails even just a bit the whole team crumbles, and in modern football that's just not enough to win a world championship. His only mistake in his whole career is choosing to wear the Argentina shirt instead of Spain's, he would be already World Champion.
He's not just the greatest football player on the planet, he's the best athlete on the planet too. No one in any sport dominates like him. When my 94 year old dementia mother passes on, I will make a trip to Barca to see him live. Bucket list!
It’s always almost as good seeing people react to him as it is to actually see him . . . It’s like watching a small child see magic . It’s heartwarming and awesome.
It looks unreal, like it’s a commercial, like it’s against kids he’s playing. These are grown men top top athletes he’s going against. I get to enjoy him every time he steps on a field, and I feel very lucky for that.
One of the special ability that Messi have and this is very important in football, is to keep the ball close to His feet, even in His top speed. This is make Him can control the ball more easily than any other player. And also this is make Him, not one of the best, but THE BEST dribbler in the history of football. (that's my opinion) *Coming from Real Madrid Fan
8:51 And always dedicates his every goal to his beloved grandma in heaven, by pointing with the fingers to the sky... In 1880, football was invented... With Messi, it has now reached its final shape.
Simply: Since 1870, in the football history, the greatests striker Legends can score 50/60 goals per year... That's the human limit. Messi had scored 91 goals in 1 year. That's crazy when you know that: he's not a striker on the field. Score goals is not his job. 🙏
I love this reaction, men. Americans reacting to Messi is like my favorite thing in RU-vid. Basically the thing should be invented for this shit. This is a great use of RU-vid, haha.
U should check his play from his young ages, we can see Beckham do freekick and crossing more beautiful and accurate, but this guy can steal the ball, break the ankle, dribs with a very sharp vision to create goals, and what differs him from Phenomenon and Maradona is his modesty and attitudes to achieve a lot of records and awards.
If you knew that Messi was how far from Maradona or even Di Stefano, you would easily believe that the Fenomeno was in fact also better. It's sure that they are similar geniuses, but Ronaldo was much more perfect. They are both the best players in their era, top 10 players ever. But I think Ronaldo was a little better, only a few players were better than him, maybe only 4.
Hunfootball Maradono's whole legacy depends on his performance of 1986 WC ( one and half months of world cup but Leo has done it for decade ) and maradona was a flop when he played for barca and he didn't win champions league with Napoli ( ronaldo also didn't won a single champions league in his carrier ) so in my opinion Leo just have an edge over maradona and ronaldo because of his consistency...he remained at the top for almost decade now. at the end of the day...its all depends on the individual tastes and opinion differs from person to person....
Cr is also much more consistent than Maradona, R9, or others but he is very far from them... If we looked at stats we would think Maradona was at the level of Henry and Arthur Friedenreich or Bican were top 5 players.
I love watching you dudes, the journey you have been on watching Messi's best clips. I really like your reactions to the skills too! Now that you are "Messi educated", when you talk about him and sing his praises, that makes you in the top 1 percentile of Messi knowledgeable US citizens! Because your assessments are correct - he is the greatest, he still plays for barcelona, you should tune in sometime for a live game. Lastly, I watched your clips on Zlatan Ibrahimovic, and you had some 'challenges' pronouncing his name. Let me clear that up for you! Zlatan is pronounced: zzz-la-tan, just say it quick! He's a martial arts expert nutter lol. Keep up the good work guys and "LET'S WATCH THE F@#$ING CLIP" peace and greetings from Scotland. LEE B
There's this debate about Messi or CR7, and I must say, it is a marketing invention, Messi is long ago in the olimpus with other legends such as Alfredo Distefano, Pelé, Cruyff and Maradona, players that made in their time stuff nobody else could do... so Cristiano will be remembered as an amazing goal scorer and a competitive beast, but never as one the best in history, that my friends, it's only for people like Messi who holds records that will take so many years to be broken. Also, the magic he shows every time he steps on the pitch is something unseen since Maradona's left the game, nobody can get the ball with 3 defenders around and scape to score just as Messi does, and not once multiple times in his era.
When you're the best world's defender, you know you'll finish your game with 2 yellows cards on Messi. For the little history, younger his coaches say about him : too short to be a pro player
Funny commentating, great video-picks for the soccer/fotball.... Your awesome...! I have some questions for you? Who do you think is the greather athleth? James Le Brown or Ronaldo, and how big boost, would it do to the MLS, if he played for the L.A. Galaxy? What Basketball team's should I check out? Do you think Messi is the GOAT of soccer?
Desafortunadamente si esa es la condición para que no existan dudas nunca pasará, la selección Argentina de los últimos 20 años es una desgracia. Y allí radica la grandeza de Messi, ha llevado a un equipo inútil a dos finales de copa América, a una del Mundial con una selección que no juega a nada. Yo despreció a la selección Argentina, pero realmente deseo que gane este mundial para que aquéllos resultadistas que solo ven los títulos y no lo que aportan al fútbol dejen de usar ese argumento de a peso en que "no ha ganado un mundial, por ende no es el mejor de la historia", es absurdo. Se que no va a pasar, pero como lo deseo, el fútbol le debe una Copa del Mundo a Messi; su único error en su carrera fue elegir vestir la camiseta de Argentina en lugar de la de España.
