RARE Lionel Messi interview 16 years old 

kudos to the interviewer he did really well guiding him he’s obviously quiet and shy and only 16 but the interviewer eased him.

Shy and simple Leo is now a world champion. This is how far humility, respect and determination can take you.

Look how he talks about the only team not being selfish 20 years ago and he never changes his ideology.

The best thing about leo is that he himself doesn't even know how great he is.. destined to be the greatest.

He wanted to stay in Barca forever and then, many years later, after building Barcelona's greatest era, they kicked him. 😭❤️

Who is here in 2023??? The greatest player ever look how he was men back then leo was still a very quiet and humble kid and now he is a man which is a inspiration for million people in the world. Undisputed goat 🐐🐐❤️❤️

You can only act for a period of time and to certain number of people, you can't do it for 20 years. For Messi to be known as a nice humble player, that have no problem assisting his teammate, from many people when he was 16 years old, and still have the same characters now show he is truly "modest" when it comes to how he sees himself. His game hasn't changed in that he has no problem passing or scoring, as long as it helps his team. He's not a fake like many successful athletes.

Great interview! The interviewer sure knew he was stepping onto the path of greatness.

Wow just wow... I'm amazed by the simplicity nd selflessness of this guy... He is been the same for the last 20 years even after becoming THE GREAT OF ALL TIME... He is my inspiration 💕💕

Because he's been a quiet guy is the reason he's been more successful than even Maradona, being a quiet person makes him get more involved in Football itself than get in any kind of social trouble.

He is such a humble guy! He is awesome ❤ love him 🇦🇷💕

This kid is going to be the greatest player of all time and win the world cup.

he's so cute and humble aw he really did never change

he’s so humble i love him

Who is here after the world cup?..

Humble beginnings🙏🏾 guy was destined for greatness

This year it will be 20 years from this interview. And this wonderkid has now achieved it ALL in football.. What a career and the real winners are the footboll fans, who have enjoyed the most!

Messi comenting Victor's 30 goals show his true character, Its never about him but the team. Such an inspiration Messi was here only to play football nothing else he just focused on the team and Game for 19years now. Who can compete with such a mind?

He was so shy and humble. Never ever admitted that he is the best.. CR7 does it with an open arrogance statement

What a great interview with the future goat !

Wonderful, a humble 🐐

De lo último que le menciona el entrevistador "eres un jugador que no genera odio". Leo Messi ahora campeón del mundo después de 18 años más de títulos y triunfos, sigue siendo agradecidos y muy humilde. Pero tiene tantos " Anti-messi" Debido a gente que no puede vivir con la idea que sea tan bueno. Increíble...

Still cant believe that Barcelona just abandon him in 2021 😠 Wish you all the best in PSG, Leo.

I have no more words to describe Leo MESSI greatness 😊he's been doing it for years club and country at a high level and his mentality never change such a humble guy 👉❤👈

After all these years and all the greatness he achieved, he is still the same quiet and humble person. He truly is not only an incredible play but a great dude. Worthy of his GOAT status and respect.

Interviewer: "...How many goals did you score last season?" Messi: "I scored 36 goals." Interviewer: "Isn't that too much for an offensive midfielder?" All of us Today.

Some decades later wins a world cup. Time flies.

He has always been soft It has never been about him but about the team He is such a rare jewel

There is an innocence charm to his character tht ppl fall for. Thn wht happened when he reached Goat level. And he never really changed

People have stopped to praise Leo Messi because there are no words to describe him.

el mejor de la historia 👑 campeon del mundo ❤️

The journalist is really good...asking sensible questions to the great man!👏

What a journey! Start from 0 to billionaire, his parents not even affort of his medications when he was verry young n now one of the richest athletes in the world the rechest footballer in the world nobody come close to this little gentleman he still is not forget from where he comes from. Helping a lots of people around the world who is in need. Saving a lots of people life especially kids n giving back to the cancer kids as much as he can n even visitting ofunly. N he meet a kids the patient who has having the same problem just like him when he was verry little growth deficiency kids n he decided to to help him n paid everything for that patient he take care of everything n that kids who have same problem like messi his perents n family doesn't need to worry about the kids for medication n treatment coz messi will take care of everything till he grow up, etc. Etc. He inspired people around the world especially kids coz he know how difficult is living being a verry poor family wlhich is why he is love by the whole world n have supporter from all over the world, people who don't even know about football still hearing his name when peple said messi they know his name even they don't know messi is a footballer but they heard his name.

His middle brother sounds just like his son mateo (supporting different club). They even share similar names.

my goodness this is time travel to the past.

Lovely! So wholesome

Tantos años siguiendo y mirando contenido de Messi, mas prime vez que me entero y veo esta linda entrevista. Muchas gracias por darle a conocer...

It be very cynical to think that a 16-year old would constantly be thinking about upholding "the brand" in interviews. Leo really is just a cool hero by nature, simple as that.

Legend king of football❤

LEO MESSI is G.O.A.T ! A Everest in the world football. Vamos MESSI. Vamos ARGENTINO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

RU-vid recommending this after world cup

8:16 The interviewer cannot comprehend what Messi can do lol

Leoooooo ❤️

MESSI RESPECT TO YOU!!!

WORLD CUP CHAMPION⚽🏆🐐

The past of the God of football

Interview: aside being a very special footballer you're also a different kind of person, very humble. Some players as good as you become so arrogant and egoistic but you're different. Never change! Messi: okay, I've taken that advice personal like Michael Jordan. 😀 And 20 years on, he never changed from that simple guy into an egoistic arrogant dude like the one in Saudi Arabia 😄

Que Dios bendiga a Messi y lo mantenga alejado de ese defecto asqueroso de la arrogancia 🙏🏼

Awesome 👌 Love ❤️ Leo

legend

This kid will never make it to Barca A) because he’s short and to calm he will never break into Barcelona teams that got so much talent.. ronaldinho,deco, Gio, Eto.. etc ! Behold the greatest gift from GOD mankind is Magical M 😭❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Y el resto es historia

1:45 me parte el corazón 💔

They were saying that Victor Vaskez was better than Messi, and he was extremely good, but one injury have destroyed his career.

🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺

Messi look like Ron of Harry Potter... Movie.....

Nah, I don’t think he‘ll make it to the first team. 🤔

9:45
