Is it time to FINALLY call Lionel Messi the GOAT?! 👀 | ESPN FC 

Yes he did. And he did win it. But the WC is the achievement that separates him from C. Ronaldo. These two were neck and neck until then.

@@zalemdreams I disagree. Messi was always a few levels above but the copa America put the debate to rest. World Cup just made it even more clear.

@@zalemdreamsdelusional. Ronaldo NEVER was on Messi’s level even when he was winning all those balon dors he was NEVER considered to be equal to Messi. Media and his fanboys brainwashed them and made them believe that this was an actual rivalry. Maradona and Matthaus had a “rivalry” similar to this, would you consider Matthaus to be equal to Maradona? Exactly. The most forced debate in history.

Needed the World Cup to be GOAT. Imagine never winning your sports greatest trophies and be GOAT of that sports 😂😂😂. That would cheapen your sports. Messi played for Argentina not Thailand, so he had to win one. He did it, congrats to the GOAT.

@@panacea26947 exactly, cr7 needs space to operate,plus cr7 can't conduct an attack he is a pure forward, Messi can drop back and be a midfield and even defend. Lio was s God amongst children

I would say that if we're going off of the best in their prime, I've seen players who were a bit better than Messi, but none of them have the longevity that he has had.

@@segagenesis7708 Who else has scored 91 goals in a calender year in their prime ...

@1LLUS1ON his baby daddy ronaldo in a alternate universe 🤣

Yeah!! Finally he is one of us.. now.

On the opposite, no respect for that moron. Messi didn’t need the WC to be established as the GOAT. And on top of that he did won.

Agree that’s a good take 👍🏼

Do not forget one thing he never got out of any competition in the group stages, let it be Club or International.

That. too. He was always the person who was pushing the team forward. Its not like its teams filled with stars.

@@Allkinds466 Keep your low iq to yourself

He is second behind cr7

To those people who said that it's hard to compare different players in different periods, you have no right to select any other players as the GOAT.

I have ALWAYS said this, especially around that time when Argentina was in total shambles and people were comparing him to Maradona, saying he doesn't have enough fight in him. Messi doesn't believe in winning "at all cost". If the price is cheating the game, it seems he would rather just do his best within the rules and lose. He has always worked hard. Sometimes we saw the pressure get the best of him but he has always put in work, both for club and country. I think because of his astronomical numbers for Barcelona we forget that he is human and needs a TEAM that will work with him (like ANY OTHER PLAYER IN THE HISTORY OF THE GAME). For too long, Argentina expected him to do it all and that just doesn't work in football. Finally he got a supporting group that were determined to bleed for him and for the honor of Argentina. I don't think any other player has come under as much pressure in the history of the game, and no other player has ever played as consistently at this level for as long as he has, shattering all kinds of records. Messi made all of this look easy, while staying humble, never claiming to be the best and playing almost completely clean. Football is really going to miss him and we are privileged to have witnessed this legacy because there will probably not be another like him for a LONG TIME!

He won't this wc in the most embarrassing way though. The refs had to do the most to help Argentina in any way. Notice how all the controversial calls this wc were in favor of argentina and never against? 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

That's not true . France were also awarded with penalties in the final and also Argentina had conceded comeback goals from opposition teams . So there is not foul play. Perhaps yes there were 1 or 2 decisions in Argentina's favour but generally there wasn't any decisions that totally went against the opponent team either

Not goat because he took growth hormones as a kid. It boosts tendons muscles and bones for life. He is technically the best, but hormones helped to forge his body and play style.

La Liga was made for his playstyle. 4) he's always done well with the greatest midfielders of all time. Disregarding this wc, he has never done well on the international stage. This is because he doesn't have iniesta, busqets, and xavi making his goals. 5) even his years at barca and the rewards he got are coming under question due to corruption and evidence over evidence of paying referees. All in all, he's a great player but not the goat. Cristiano Ronaldo has played all over Europe, including the physically demanding premier league. He is better on his weak foot and in the air. Had matched dribbling ability until a knee injury. Won with a team that was not as strong as Barcelona, as most el classics showed. Has not been caught on a team paying referees.

Pele didn't play in Europe because they were not the dominant leagues at the time, nor could they bring in foreign players like they are able to now. Messi is generational, like you said. So was Pele in his time. The game has changed too much for them to be compared to begin with.

But we can't knock Pele for that because he was the best player of the best national team ever. But in 1962 he did not contribute much, if Messi played 2 games in this world cup and won it, people would not ever allow him to use it as part of his GOAT debate, so why are we using it for Pele's.
