Crazy how the Messi chants started when he was like 18. Everyone knew how special he was

[@Sam-eo4yo]

Exactly. Incredible. I didn't knew they were chanting his name that early too. It tells a lot of the genius of this men. Magical, greatest ever.

[@fadlikurniawan5122]

then in 19 years old he got first hatrick vs Madrid,, when barca play with 10 player

[@f.c.5342]

Actually, when he was 16, still playing for Barcelona youth team, he was already a star amongst native Barcelona's fans. I remember El Mundo Deportivo and Sport (big Spanish sports newspapers, related to FC Barcelona), dedicating full-page articles and even a cover to him, in 2003 (1 year before his unofficial debut with the first team). Every week, there was this article about the latest match of the youth team and a special mention to Messi's performance (in that same team were playing Messi, Cesc Fabregas and Piqué as 15-16 year old teenagers. That team still holds an unprecedented record in youth football: they won all the competitions they had participated in that season, without losing a single match). Everybody following those newspapers were perfectly aware about Messi's potential. His nickname ''Messias'' dates from those days, before his debut with men's team, because there was a journalist who told once that Messi was called to be the real successor of Maradona, and as Maradona was known as ''Dios'' (''God''), teen Messi was nicknamed ''Messías'' (like ''Messiah'').

@@f.c.5342 Thank you. Very interesting information.

[@Hieillua]

I watched him in the under 20 youth world cup in 2005. The hype around him in that tournament was insane. Everyone was saying how he would be the next big thing, a player on the level of possibly pele, maradona etc. It all came true and thats the even crazier part. When I first started seeing him dribble past defenders in big matches I was cheering him on and saying to myself ''he's actually doing it.''

@Chodex You are allowed to be a fan, but it is not necessary to go all the way and exaggerate. That Talent vs Work is crap! You always need to Work ver y Hard in order to be at the TOP. /. Cristiano does in fact know how to Dribble, and he was a great #7, yes later he changed to main Striker. But if you have watched football for as long as you say... You should remember him playing against and for Manchester United. He indeed has Great ball Control and Dribbling ability. Of course due to Height he can't slalom between 5 players... But he could outrun many players.. If you see his games against Spain,they where Magical! Also the game where he eliminated Sweden from World Cup qualifier that was Spectacular!!

After the Brazilian Ronaldo

[@debaser76]

Not really. It would still take like 4-5 years to witness Prime Messi, the best player I've ever seen.

[@nico_jipicastillo1979]

Maradona young, plays similar

[@ezekielamoakobekoe9210]

This wasn't the goal-scoring-all-round Messi. This was the just-gimme-the-ball-and-lemme-dribble Messi

[@Gabrielcastro-cc3qy]

Ronaldinho in his prime was better

[@Hieillua]

People underestimate how much more physical Messi became later on. Years after this he gained a bunch of muscle mass and was able to battle players a lot stronger.

[@ciromartinezzz]

el verdadero y ÚNICO jóven promesa que haya existido, el mejor futbolista.

[@cpamiseso]

I watched that football documentary (those two person conversation during dinner), about how Messi was found on the street of Argentina and the journey of his development and training. Pure hardwork combined with talent. Yes he got injection for his growth etc, but all that does not matter if he didn't train rigorously back then. Those movements and muscles are built since his early days. Such legend.

[@diegomaximilianoblanchard3693]

Que orgullo es ser argentino y haber visto a los dos más grandes de la historia..pero lo de Messi es fue y será simplemente extraterrestre ..gracias por tanto fútbol mi amada Argentina ❤️🇦🇷🇦🇷❤️

[@mdl3r1]

Bien dicho, paisano :-) AR AR AR

[@kencikey699]

Lo impresioante fue que ya tenia una personalidad tremenda, cuantas veces le pegaron y siguio encarando, messi es una eminencia no solo fisica si no mentalmente hablando. El GOAT

[@arturocuenca8865]

Más de 15 años dominando este deporte es THE REAL GOAT LIONEL MESSI.

[@somedudeontheinternet907]

Never ever we won't see another messi since eternity. We're so lucky to be in his time. The one & only G.O.A.T 🐐

[@guacca]

It's really interesting seeing him in this game. Some skills, moves, shot placement and technique, and feints that he still hadn't perfected yet, but he was already trying to do, and that would later become his go-to signature moves and shots.

[@rahulmahela999]

18 yrs and the whole crowd cheers ur name without even scoring a goal... Nobody certainly not penaldo

[@CarlosRodriguez-jw1zo]

Getting a compliment from the LEGENDARY Fabio Capello is a high honor. That man is not easily impressed nor does he hand out compliments

[@arentorjamir4545]

The video solely highlights the attacking threat of Messi. even without goals, the goal setups he creates ALONE makes him one of the greatest to ever do it.

[@akashk933]

Messi forever💞

[@diabloff7231]

MESSI AND MARADONA THE BEST PLAYER

[@ivandrago5671]

Месси браво это работяга все твои титулы заслуженно отдельное поздравление с ЧМ-2022🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@MAB-bs3zf]

A player you can't compare to anyone. He is just unique he has it all, someone who won it all in Europe where the best of the best play.

[@dereksaavedra1466]

Asi debe ser su último partido... jugando en su estadio con su gente con su equipo... messi ....patrimonio del fútbol e histórico del barca...

[@martin-ar]

se debería retirar jugando para el baca, creo q nos haria feliz a todos

[@pipi0290]

Es verdad se tiene que retirar en Newell's

[@lucasgomez7230]

​@@pipi0290 😂😂

[@disparadordefactos-ok6lr]

Su último partido de Messi debe y va a ser en el Monumental con 100.000 personas enloquecidas

[@younes868]

Oh my god what a Monster Messi was .....that dribbling with that huge speed and directions changing and smartness ...there is no one like him ...may be people forget how he was because now he is old and not as fast and as strong as he was ....people should stop comparing this Monster to any other normal player Messi is the best ever words can't describe how good he was

[@joserrarodriguez]

una verdadera bestia y con tan solo 17 años que partidaso dio, un talento nato, peleo por todo en ese partido, un verdadero dios

[@minmfmais5828]

only Messi at young age 17 / 18 YO impressed the whole world . I never seen such a talent like Leo and Ronaldo the Brazilian . both of them at young age the world there something special about them ... but for me R10 Ronaldinho is the best one ever touch a ball , I know Messi better than him at everything and also the Brazilian Ronaldo but I don't know I just have a soft spot for Ronaldinho .❤️

Ronnie was pure show 💃🏻🔥

No fear, no hesitation. Just goes forward. He was meant to play

[@hectordavidortiz]

Messi, Federer, Woods… An era of phenomenal champions.

[@vnca8]

Just 18 years old and had the entire Camp Nou chanting his name “MESSIII MESSIII” 🐐🇦🇷 …. Incredible.

En Argentina decimos que la gente " no come vidrio" La gente cuando advierte una Joya que deja todo en la cancha ,voluntad y fútbol en estado puro , sabe ser agradecida.
