When teenage Messi TERRORIZED Juventus and Fabio Capello 

Insane, also the way Capello talks about him.

"Aura"

Yamal got one at 16

I got mine at 14

That's when the new era started 😊

C'mon. Ronaldo was equally mesmerizing. And Maradona was better than both of them. Maradona's control of the ball was truly without equal. Messi simply had speed.

​@@showwhite7320 are you for real not even Ronald at his peak of his career was that great on his ball control and passing not to mention the dribble

Marodona was great but neither was he Messi's level at that age

@@TM-rq5qw Do you know that Maradona was performing at halftime during professional games when he was a little kid? He would show his juggling skills in front of thousands. There are videos of him dominating international matches when he was a teenager. Maradona's passing was better than anyone else back then, but I do think his passing is pretty terrible for today's standards. That's because, today, they start doing rigorous training when they are little kids. Back then, players took too many risks with their passing. Passing today is much more conservatives and it's about retaining possession unless you're absolutely sure you're going to score. Passing through multiple defenders is something you see every match. Back then, it was rare. I don't like Maradona as a person. I think he's a shady sc*mbag, but you can't deny that his dribbling was on another level. Messis' technical dribbling isn't even that good. There are a lot of players that are better technically. Messi just has insane acceleration due to shorter legs. Nobody can keep up with him when he cuts back. Maradona had both acceleration and an amazing touch. If Maradona was playing today, I think he would do much better than Messi. It wouldn't be close.

@@TM-rq5qw No, you've been blinded by your idolatry. Even Ronaldo's touch was better than Messi. Just watch how they trap the ball. Both Ronaldo and Maradona can bring a high ball softly to their feet. When Messi does it, the ball still bounces. Watch clips and you'll see what I mean.

As a Messi fan from India thank you for that ....

Great compliments

This was actually the first game that the chant was heard!!

Soccer History Surely

that's why he's the GOAT. THE GOAAT!

@@TheBorderJumper17 football* Boy NA education never fails to disappoint.

@@sroth2021i can hear it

Thanks God he had no big injuries 👏🏾

I feel it brooo😢

Sad the Messi era is coming to an end soon like the blink of an eye

Crying for a soccer player? Are you stupid?

Messi did that. Messi put the work in. God had nothing to do with it. He was meant to do this but without that work ethic this would not have happened

@@Reladan187 el talento se perfecciona con trabajo pero es algo con lo que naces.

Unbelievable talent

Brazil Ronaldo at the 18 was crazy talented check him out

@@Reladan187 i know you don't believe in God. But even Messi believe he is gifted from God.

Wow! That is really great

They won the tounament right?

@@sape1315 Yes

I miss the days when he used to run like the wind. His opponents couldn't understand what was happening.

​@@SombreroFlicks damn bro iam 19 yr old so i didn't got a chance to watch 😢 , but i had seen all his matches 2007-2021 all matches on youtube , back then whenever he starts running he just beat all the defenders most of the time because of his speed

@@shashwatmali3640 This game gave us all a glimpse of how Messi was about to redefine football for an entire generation.

You are such a stupid little kid !

He was a joy to watch at PSG😒

and tameless

There’s only one Messi …

I see a decent amount of messi in Yamal but the young messi was a different breed. We have seen a lot of talented youngsters but someone like Messi are hard to come by

Exactly... Multi-talents ans stats alone is not enough to reach up to Messi's standard, consistency, longevity and right attitude in and off the field will have to be maintained throughout one's career.. That would be a challenge for many players

@@harshpatel9606 the main thing is his personality. It seems that he doesnt give much of a fk about anything BUT football. He was never much into fame, grandeur display of opulence, or any sort of antics of the biggest stars. He is just a guy who really, i mean REALLY loves football and has the absolute talent for it. The closest thing ive seen in terms of attitude i think is Halaand, it's the only player i've seen keep his cool head at all times.

We will never see anyone like him😢, i bet he will always remain as the best ever played this sport.

There's a young Asian girl on tiktok who plays exactly like that. How I wish it were a boy

@@seetsamolapo5600 I hope you mean "she" and not "it". What's her name?

Cri Ro went toe to toe with him only thanks to media. Who knows football never even compared really good scoring machine (CR7) with extremely talanted alien who could do everything on the pitch, and no one can even come close to his understanding of a football and his dribbling which based on natural instincts and high ball control

@@seetsamolapo5600 who? give me name

@@garri5108 I am Messi's fan but I think that CR7 is the one that closest to him (still far but closest).

And zidane himself is about 1 second ahead.

@@kahchingng3857zizous touch was… guess it’s in that Algerian blood.

He said 3 But even then he just being nice You all just …

@@badsolja1 I don't see Zidane saying that Cristiano was 3 seconds ahead of the others. You all just...

Except when he is in Anfield.

2007 - 2012 Messi was a force of nature. Stopping him required a tactical masterclass plus the hope that he would be having a bad day.

​@@SombreroFlicksafter 2012 he was still the Best, forget about the stats, how he played

Messi later on in Barcelona had much better control on the ball and vision in the game. I'm surprised how well he developed compared to the raw talent we see in this video.

@@Carlito54541__ And he kept changing his play style every 2 or 3 years that's why he stayed at top level for many years and it's not easy to do

@@Carlito54541__ He was already superior in touch, skill and quickness in this game against some of the best. Still a little raw, but already better than the others.

Wdym? They now go easy on them?

What you talking about?

Professional yapper

You said the truth. He really toyed with them. Ronaldo is no match.

​@@velovis04always read to comprehend.

It's been almost 20 years!

😭😭

UCL Final 2011 vibes

He has autism😂

😂👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

It's as Cruyff said, he needed a bit more time to optimize his passing and dribbling decision-making. Once he did, it was game over.

Great observation

Both are absolute monsters. as an example Musiala has the most successful dribblings in a World Cup game. At 17/18, this is an absolutely strong performance. And of course, the comparison with Messi is unfair. If both players achieve only 80% of the performance of Messi, that would be absolutely sensational.

@@Atreusz Those Dribbles Are No Where Near Messi Ones. They Are Talented But Do They Have Eye For Goal,Dribbling Pass And Scoring Goals At Same Time, Vision Of Glorious Through Balls . No. They Wont Even Rach 60% Of Messi Talents. Not To Forget The FK Ability Messi Developed Later On

@@TUTANKHAMUN077 ok lil messi boy

Facts🙌

He was already the best player in the world the moment he started playing in the first team. For pure talent, the only player I’ve seen compare to him in my lifetime was R9(but R9 career isn’t half as good because of injuries, and he didn’t have the discipline of Messi)

Perfect analogy! Couldn't be anymore truer!

People are mostly stupid. Once you understand that, you learn to tune them out

If you want compare mbappe. They should compare it with henry in my opinion.

Young Mbappe is performing in world cup and UCL KO stages man

They are fully blind

​@@pauliyonas3576young messi won UCL. Mbappe so lucky he has good team in WC, and his best performance is when he was young, but the result and performance decreasing already

Juve had the brand power and funds to bring almost any player and Capello wanted a teenage Messi 20 minutes after seeing him for the first time.

Ronaldo?

@@jocanolag-6745. Nah, I wasn’t talking about a human being 🤣

Se llama football, no existe un deporte llamado soccer. Football. Y el football existio y existira luego de messi. Messi es solo un jugador

I appreciate it! Thanks for the feedback!

@@SombreroFlicks what is the name of the documentary ?

@@bristonpypp7380 it's a combination of footage from the game, Fabio Capello interviews and "Messi" (2014).

Dude, it was a friendly game.

Messi was a NOBODY then. there are bigger stars in the team

It's insane thinking Capello would start researching 18-year-old unproven kid for a friendly match to be honest.

That was before messi was a thing A friendly game capello used to scout for talents and test his players He basically was scouting and testing messi so he could get him for Juve Y’all can’t see behind the words it’s funny he would have locked him if he wanted Just like inter 2010 and Chealsea 2012 locked him with weaker of a roaster Than Canvvaro thuram zambrota Emerson and viera

Not at all. He was 18 years old, only 2 years on the team and this is before the internet was used by normies and even then you only knew of him if you were deep into football and barcelona.

he hasnt coached anyone since 2016 i believe 😊

He is ou tof football, not interested anymore I believe.

Long hair Messi is peak

Beard+long hair+ magic 👽

We should respect both for beautifying the game! ❤

Up against Zebina.

@@SombreroFlicks it sounds like...nvm..

@@johnnie99 😅😅

Jonathan zebina

Thank you for that, the translation for that part came out as "con letal que tiene" which roughly translated to that.

Heck, he might even win a ballon d'or at some point.

aww get well soon ❤

@@tine272 go Messi!!!! 2nd World Cup coming soon 2026!!
