What is the best Champions League performance ever? | Extra Time 

For me.. Messi's 3-0 win against Bayern in semi 14/15 the best.

There are too many stand-out, near-perfect performances by Messi in the UCL Messi vs Arsenal [home], 2010 Messi vs Real Madrid [away], 2011 Messi vs Man Utd [final], 2011 Messi vs Bayern Leverekusen [home], 2012 Messi vs Bayern Munich [home], 2015 Messi vs Man City [home], 2015 Messi vs Man City [home], 2016 Messi vs Chelsea [home], 2018 Messi vs Tottenham, [away], 2018 There a load by Ronaldo: CRonaldo vs Arsenal [away], 2009 CRonaldo vs Bayern Munich [away], 2014 CRonaldo vs Man City [away], 2012 CRonaldo vs Wolfsburg [home], 2016 i think CRonaldo vs Juventus [final], 2017 CRonaldo vs Juventus [away], 2018 Other notable performance in recent years Neymar vs PSG [home], 2017 Van Persie vs Olympiakos [home], 2014 Lewandowski vs Real Madrid [away], 2013 Ronaldo vs Man Utd [away], 2003 Kaka vs Man Utd [away], 2007 Gareth Bale vs Inter Milan [away], 2010 Aguero vs Bayern Munich [away], 2013 Iniesta vs Man Utd [final], 2009 Gerrard vs Milan [final], 2005 Ramos/Di Maria vs Atleti [final], 2014 Godin vs Barcelona [home], 2016 These are just some that I have seen, im sure there are loads in the 90s and early 00s, as well as defensive displays. But for me, Messi vs Bayern (2015) will always stand out

Messi against BAYERN MUNICH was the best indivisual display simple. The question wasn't about the best team display.

Ronaldo against juventus first leg last season. One of the greatest goals in ucl history against a very strong defence. Now he’s on our team lol

Messi against Bayern was at whole different level all together,best ever individual performance,and his performance against Real when he scored that Solo Goal was at God level too

Messi vs Bayer leverkusen where he made champions league history scoring 5 goals in one match

I'll say Lionel Messi against Bayern 1st leg May,2015 Or Diego Milito vs Bayern final 2010

Please. Focus. On. Answering. The. Questions. Asked.

lmao shaka still sweating buckets from yday

Too many great individual performances. But I do agree with them the best team was the 2011 Barcelona vs Manchester Utd.

Messi against Arsenal at the Nou Camp 4 goals. 🐐

This is really easy. Messi in 2011 vs real madrid in the semi final at the Bernabeu, the second goal (the solo goal) he scored is the best in history of the competition. Messi vs bayern in the 2015 semis is another great shout as well.

Messi. Is the most efficient finisher + best dribbler +one of the best passer......there are so many good passers

I can give 15 MESSI's best performances that no one can match ever.

Ramos vs Liverpool was definitely the best MMA performance of all time. Nah but in seriousness I think I’d give it to Lewa against Real Madrid in 2013.

for me: messi vs munich 14/15 messi vs bayern levurkusen 11/12 messi vs united 09 final messi vs united 2011 final messi vs real madrid 2011 semi final messi vs arsenal 2010 messi vs chelsea 2018 home messi vs man city 14/15 home and away - ridiculous and now messi vs spurs 18/19 - ridiculous. genius at play all these performances was a stand out. (coming to think of it, hes actually destroyed top english sides jeez) other notable is: kaka vs united away 07 ronaldo r9 vs man utd 2003 feel free to add on guys...

Who just scroll down in comment section and see the people's opinion rather than watching them what they are discussing

Messi against Manchester United

Best UCL performance by a team will always be 6-1 Barcelona vs PSG. Nothing can top that. Best individual performance, for me Messi vs Real Madrid at Wembley. That solo goal was out of this world.

Messi vs Real Madrid in that semi final it was a dreadful game madrid bored everyone to death legit sat with my mate who was a Madrid fan who absolutely disgusted by it and then messi scored that goal even he clapped for it

literally any match including messi

Best individual perf MESSI VS BAYERN 14/15 1ST LEG MESSI VS ARSENAL 09/10 2ND LEG MESSI VS UNITED AT WEMBLEY FINAL 10/11

I’m not from C.ronaldo side but one thing i always notice whenever I watch these guys They don’t like Ronaldo may be because of his ego or something else but ya they never want to discuss about him when they talk about greatness or individual best No doubt messi is great may b greatest ever but Ronaldo also the same not above Messi nor less both are greatest in football history both have different style of play We are blessed to have to watch players like Messi And Ronaldo And (and some other players ) I love to watch both of them

Ronaldo scoring a hatrick against bayern home 2017 season Ronaldo's performance against juventus away last season And ofcourse lewandowski's performance against real at dortmund Also R9's hatrick against united at old trafford

greatest individual performance, neymar vs psg with the most famous comeback of all time

Messi vs Bayern 2015 semifinal was definately a "God like" performance,best ever for me,His performance at Wembley 2011 CL final against Man Utd was destructive and devastating too and so many other magnificent performances,Best ever

The two that stand out for messi are messi vs leverkusen, Messi vs Bayern, the two for ronaldo are ronaldo vs Wolfsburg and Ronaldo vs atletico

Ronaldo vs atletico Madrid in the semis or ronaldo vs juve in the final

Messi vs Bayern 14/15 Messi vs Arsenal 09/10 Messi vs Man utd 10/11 final Top 3

Ronaldo vs Juve - 3-0 Lewa vs Real - 4-1 Messi vs Bayern - 3-0 R9 vs Mu Ronaldo vs wolfsburg 3-0 Messi vs Real 2-0 Marcelo vs Bayern 2nd leg 2016

No questions asked! For me, it's Thierry Henry vs Inter Milan at the San Siro when he teared apart Javier Zanetti and Inter Milan's defense with 2 goals and 2 assists in one match. I believe that was in 2003. Unbelievable performance by prime Henry!

Lol.Why is everyone acting like messi doesn't have way better performances than this???If you watch him alot,you'll see that this performance at wembley was just a normal game for messi.I even find the performance vs chelsea at camp nou better than this one.But go watch him daily,he still has way way better performances.Even go watch his matches 2/3 years ago.E.g messi vs bayern,mancity in 2015 at camp nou(he didn't score but everything he did was magic),messi vs ac milan 2013,vs real Madrid 2011,etc...There are so many.

2011 Barcelona might be the best club team of all time. That UCL Final performance was just pure magic. Not to mention they had Sir Alex stumped. He had no answer for them

Messi vs Liverpool would have been considered one if they won the 2nd leg.

Lmao, Ronaldo literally owns the Champiosnleague. Pessi's greatest performance has been bottling it since 2015 hahahahaha

Messi vs Bayern Munich in UCL 2015 and vs Chelsea in 2018 vs arsenel are my favorite and many more are there including ronaldo vs juventus

Lionel Messi in 2011 Vs Real Madrid at the Bernabeu, he destroyed them in the first leg, and topped it off by running from the halfway line to beat their entire defence and take the game away from them. That Madrid side were scoring for fun that season too. It probably just shades the performance against Arsenal. In the top 10 CL performances Messi probably gets in there at least 3 or 4 times without argument.

R9 vs man U 2003 at old trafford one the best hat tricks in the champions league ever

Messi's 4-goal display v Arsenal in 2010. He was simply unplayable that night and made one of England's top teams look like a bunch of kindergartners. That too in a knockout game to help Barca progress.

That should be Ronaldo against Juventus .. the best UCL performance I’ve seen

CRISTIANO vs Wolfsburg in 2016, May not be the greatest but sure as hell better than this!!!

I love Messi and think he has the most impressive performances but a Gerrard Liverpool coming back on a Maldini lead AC Milan in the final was simply jaw dropping. Not just Gerrard. The entire Liverpool team.

The answer to your question is Steven Gerrard against Milan in the 2005 CL Final. Kids these days who dominate social media won't remember or know how great that Milan team was. That Milan team was one of the best club sides of all time, and Liverpool? Nowhere close to their level; by all accounts, it was a mismatch. Steven Gerrard scored the first goal, won the penalty for the equalizer and played in at 4 different positions. At the age of 25, he dominated 4 positions in the final of the biggest club competition against one of the best sides of all time. Let that sink in. The answer is obviously Steven Gerrard. Before anyone tries and argue, go and watch the match. I'll give you a little heads up; around 84-85 minute mark, Ancelotti brought on Serginho to give Milan width and pace on the left. After 90 minutes, Benitez stuck Gerrard as the RB to counter Serginho. All throughout the extra time, Serginho wasn't able to a thing, Gerrard defended against him, matched his runs, tackled him, all of this after playing 90 minutes and in 3 other positions. Name me one midfielder who can do that in any game, never mind the CL Final. P.S- If anyone reading this is a defender or likes defending, Jamie Carragher's performance in that game was just heroic. He was like a mad warrior in the extra, especially, if you are a defender or like defending, Carragher's performance is a must watch for you.

Messi’s 4 goals vs Arsenal or that time he walked through the entire Madrid defense from the halfway line and nutmegged their keeper.

R9 Ronaldo vs Manchester United at Old trafford! That is not even a debate

Lewandowski when he was with Dortmund, scoring 4 goals against Real Madrid

Ronaldo vs Juventus first leg last year or Neymar vs PSG

Ronaldo vs juventus ucl final 2017 and away in turin 2018, ronaldo vs wolfsburg coming back from 2-0 down to winning 3-2 in the knockouts, ronaldo vs atletico madrid and bayern 2017 scoring back to back hatricks in the knockouts, ronaldo vs arsenal away scoring a 40 yard freekick and one of the best ever counter attack goals, ronaldo vs bayern munich away 2014 scoring 2. Basically the biggest big game player in the ucl of all time. Most assists, goals, quarter,semi and final goals, Most freekicks, pens, wins and joint most trophies. Most home and away goals. Its his competition and messi only has 4 of them, ronaldo has 5

messi aganist real mardid in semi final solo goal

Don't ask Shaka questions. He can't accept Messi's greatness. It is I suppose in his blood. I don't understand how he is on the table there at the first place.

Hilarious group. Spontaneously funny. Talk about loving what you do. Enjoy this show always

When you come here just don't expect to hear Ronaldo's name, or him getting put in a good question, who even are these guys😂

Difficult to choose the greatest because there have been many memorable ones over the past decade (only considering the knockout stages): Kaka vs Utd 2007 Xavi vs Arsenal 2010 Messi vs Arsenal 2010 Messi vs RM 2011 Messi vs Utd 2011 Messi vs Leverkusen 2012 Lewa vs RM 2013 Messi vs City 2015 Messi vs Bayern 2015 Neymar vs PSG 2017 Ronaldo vs Juve 2017

u cant compare anyone with Messi... he is on a different level to any other player... best ever

pretty sure we can take any memorable top perfomances from messi in the ucl and they would end up on the top 3. Messi vs bayern, messi vs united, messi vs leverkusen, messi vs arsenal, messi vs madrid. The guy is just that good..

5 Best performances in ucl knocked out stage... -Cr7 vs Juventus 2018 - Messi vs Chelsea 2018 - lewandowski vs Real 2013 - R9 vs man united 2003 - Kaka vs man united 2007

Football hasn't been played better than the night Messi played against arsenal....highest level of football....

Messi’s performance against Bayern (3-0, 2015) is for me the greatest individual performance ever

Lewandowski against Real Madrid at 2013, four⚽️⚽️⚽️⚽️on this own that was incredible.

Cristiano’s 2-0 comeback to Wolfsburg in the 2ng leg by scoring a Hattrick when his team needed him the most. Went on to win the champions league that year. Amazing.

Messi vs real madrid in 2011 at the bernabeu. That was fucking mental.

Roy keane , man utd, semi final, missed the final due to suspension, can't remeber the year. Long time ago.

Messi scored 5 against Leverkusen I believe he broke a record that night , that was the best I ever saw

bale vs inter..must be one of the greatest performance ive ever seen..dont believe me? go watch

Lewendowskis dismantling of Real Madrid was legendary

Messi 2011 he may only score one goal but he was unplayable

We gotta keep it a buck it was Neymar in 6-1 Barca comeback...

Team performance, what about Barcelona vs PSG 2017 2nd leg. Barca wins 6-1, reversed a 4 goal deficit. C’mon!!

ESPN FC: Ronaldo and Real Madrid Haters!!

They gotta start taking questions from youtube too man. but this was great.

Messi vs Bayern M 2015, Messi vs Arsenal 2010, Messi vs Leverkusen 2012, Lewandowski vs Real M 2013 All great individual performances in the CL.

Stevie Gerrard in 2005 final

Ronaldo Fenomeno at trafford 😍💘❤ that was after the surgeries/world cup 😍❤😢

For me is Messi against Man city second leg 2015, and Ronaldo vs Bayern second leg 2014

Gerrard vs AC Milan 2005

CR7(Juve) vs Athletico 2nd leg - scored a hat-trick after being down 2-0 after the 1st leg CR7 (RM) vs Wolfsburg 2nd leg - scored a hat-trick after being down 2-0 after the 1st leg Benzema vs Chelsea first leg 2022 Benzema vs PSG first leg 2022

Kaka vs Man utd at old traffod 2007, and Kaka vs liverpool 2005 ucl final

5:03 when Shaka has no answer

I would say arjen robben against barca . In 2013 semi final 1st and 2nd leg 7-0 demolishing defeat to barca

Ronaldo 17 goals was the greatest performance in the champions league 🐐

A few During my lifetime R9 hat trick vs man utd (02-03) Ronaldinho toying with Chelsea, second leg (05-06) Kaka vs Utd Ronaldo vs Juve (final) Messi vs Arsenal (2010)

Kaka 's performance gainst Man Utd in 2007 I think was brilliant. Both legs had Kaka written all over them.

Ronaldo's CL Hatrick Comebacks. (You can Choose Anyone)

I'm a messi fan but neymar vs psg in 6-1 is the best performance ever in UCL.

Ronaldo vs juve in 2017 final

To pick the best u have to exclude messi from the list. Bckz if u include him then there are so many options to choose from.

Roy Keane vs Juventus in the semi final! The original ronaldo vs man united

Espn you should ask shaka what’s his problem with messi? And ask him to answer without making stupid arguments or diverting the questions. Seriously. It annoys me to the point that i think thrice before clicking on your videos which has him in the panel.

Roy Keane in the 1999 Champions League Semi-Final second leg vs Juventus is undoubtedly the best. Fuck off talking about Messi vs the spuds in the group stages.

C. Ronaldo vs Wolfsburg he single handily took is side through and turn that tie around

I kind of hate that Messi will, in my opinion, be the greatest ever. It's just so hard to imagine anyone coming along with that talent, hardwork and good fortune. You'll never get such a perfect combination of events ever again, going to Barcelona at age 13, being taken under the wing of Ronaldinho, the Barcelona board all recognising that Messi is La Masia's greatest student and so focusing to make him the best he can be, Frank Rikjard as manager playing Messi in some first team friendlies and small games from age 16 and then getting Pep Guardiola as coach who revolutionised football and he did it with Messi being the centrepiece of the playing style, basically nobody else had the ability to be a false 9 to his level of excellence. I mean look at Cesc Fabregas who is an extraordinarily good player, absolute world class, when Spain played from 2008-12 Fabregas was the false 9...It worked, but he and as such the style of play was never anywhere near as dominant as it was with Messi at Barcelona even though the crux of that Spanish team was from Barcelona already. This series of events won't happen again. It's just too unlikely.

Messi vs Bayern Munich home 2014/15. What he did to boateng and Nuer holy smokes .

probably meant cordial instead of collegial

Mbappe and others. Don't compare to level of Messi. He is champion in this generation

Messi was Man U 2011, wow.

Messi 2011 final or Lewandowski 2013 semifinal Messi 2015 semifinal or Ronaldo 2017 semifinal

Liverpool win in 2005 come back win over AC Milan

Roy Keane vs Juve in the semi final but it seems like none of you remember it

Lionel Messi vs AC Milan (UCL) (Home) 2012-13

2011 Messi against Man united champions league final.
