[@piscesman54]

Sports journalists need controversy for the sake of making programs interesting, but to me--and I daresay to most people who understand football--it was never even a debate. There have been many great goal scorers in football history, though arguably Ronaldo is among the best especially given his longevity. But Messi is one of a kind. Pele and Maradona come in close, but again, neither of them had the longevity Messi has. And what makes him even more special is his humility. If anyone could boast about his achievements, that would be him. Yet he never points to himself. This is because nobody understands better than him that at the end of the day, it's 11 against 11. His goal is never personal. It's always for the team to win. That is what makes him truly great.

[@bullsharkdb]

Cant compare Messi with Maradona and or Pele, different times, but those who witness the magic of the 3 will chose O rei Pele.

No digo que 3 copas del mundo ganen automáticamente la carrera por el mejor jugador. Pelé redefinió el fútbol, lo hizo popular en todo el mundo, él era el fútbol, por eso es uno de los mejores, nadie hizo lo que hizo. Y 3 títulos son solo la guinda del pastel. Maradona ganó la copa del mundo con una Argentina promedio que estaba en pésima forma, y pasó del gran Barcelona al pequeño Napoli, y ganó, probablemente, la liga más difícil en la historia del fútbol y esa es la Seria A. Kroff literalmente creó el fútbol moderno. Ronaldihno es, con mucho, el jugador de fútbol más talentoso de todos los tiempos, es el único jugador que vi que hacía que otros jugadores parecieran niños a su alrededor, tenga en cuenta que entrenaba muy poco y estaba de fiesta todo el tiempo, y nunca se tomó el fútbol en serio. Qué decir de Maldini o Bekenbauer, que crearon un tipo de jugador defensivo moderno y ganaron todo lo que hay que ganar en el fútbol. Messi y Ronaldo son los jugadores más eficientes y con carreras más largas de la historia, y así sucesivamente. Como puedes ver, todos estos jugadores hicieron algo que ningún otro jugador hizo. No se pueden comparar eras, antes, el lanzamiento era terrible, la pelota era más pesada, la defensa era más brutal. Era mucho más difícil jugar mucho tiempo en los años 70 y 80 que en la década de 2010, cuando los jugadores tenían toda la atención médica moderna y la protección de los árbitros y la tecnología VAR. Si Messi jugara en los años 70 y 80, alguien se rompería las piernas y ni siquiera recibiría una tarjeta por eso, si Pelé o Maradona jugaran en la era actual con todas las ventajas en tecnología, serían una bestia. Y dime, si antes era tan fácil marcar, ¿por qué Maradona o Pelé no marcaron 5-6 goles por partido? Antes era menos táctico y más duro, hoy es más táctico pero menos técnico. Antes teníamos mucho mejores ambientes, jugadores con carisma. Hoy tenemos mejores estadios, tecnología VAR pero ambientes horribles y jugadores robot estériles. Entonces, respeta toda la historia del fútbol, porque algún día algún niño romperá todos los récords de Messi y dirá que el fútbol de 2020 es viejo y aburrido, pero eso no hará que Messi sea menos grande.

Don’t compare Messi with anyone,because he is only one ☝🏻 ❤

[@lafan023]

The Kobe video is why I started watching Messi early on, to have Ronaldinho's blessing at such a young age, Messi is truly the GOAT. RIP Kobe.

[@kapilgautam7244]

Henry is spot on when he says we may never see another one like him🙏❤️

[@gilbertkharsyntiew1578]

Ronaldinho, Ibrahimovic, Gary Lineker, Thiery, Mourinho, Arsene Wenger, Pep Guardiola, Frank Lampard and all the geniuses of football cannot but acknowledge the Greatest of all time, Lionel Messi.

Ronaldo is only goal machine but messi is goal machine, dribbler,assister, playmaker . messi have most golden boot, ballon d'or and assist in history of football 2 . Ronaldo, goal + assist= 1200 Messi , goal+ assist =1253 When messi played 150 match less than Ronaldo

Officially now The Greatest Of All Time

[@vaibhavsingh471]

Ronaldo was unfortunate to be born in the era of Messi. It’s commendable how well he has done living in Leo’s shadow.

[@Rishidiwan1]

Ahhaha shadow bruh what you talkin about both are phenomenal. Value what you provide

[@Von01]

he challenged messi 100%..and messi recognised that..both are different players..

[@nuclearwinter6231]

Christiano was never in Leo’s shadow, they had one of the greatest rivalries in football history with each one trying to out preform the other and succeeding until the other comes back with something else. The saddest thing is messi evolved his game to be more of a provider and not caring too much if he scores while cr7 still trying to score goals at his age. He’s ruining his legacy.

[@taskmaster9891]

@@nuclearwinter6231 definitely the greatest rivalry in all sport. Not one rivalry is fiercer than this and it last for 15-17 years

henry described perfectly the situation thats why ive grown to respect so much Ronaldo. Both are a great example for us.

[@0FFICERPROBLEM]

I didn't understand what Henry said exactly?

[@L3th4LQu4rK]

@@0FFICERPROBLEM He was saying both types of players are important to inspire the younger generation. You have Ronaldo who shows look at what’s possible with hard work and commitment, while Messi inspires the way an artist does. Through the beauty of their work.

[@sergeiloundas7313]

It’s hard seeing legends talk about someone like Messi. Especially when you have seen these players play when you were a kid.

[@deshbhaktanepali9975]

I am very blessed to watch Messi each and every game ❤❤❤

[@abhinavburnwal863]

Messi uses his brain more than his body..He doesn't have the physical appearance of someone like Ronaldo but he plays with the oppositions mentally which kinda forces them to do mistakes on which he capitalises n ppl think it's easy..But actually getting control of your psychological brain is the toughest thing to do as a human.. Apart from skill n talent you need to work very hard to make your brain function like that.. It's not all god gifted..Maybe the dribbling abit but not all.. You need to train very hard day in day out so that your body your brain is at a habit of doing the same thing consistently which makes it look very easy but it's not.. Sports are as much as a psychological sport then it is as a physical sport.. N leo seems to have mastered the sport psychologically..This way combined with his strong physical strength he's able to do things which are almost next to impossible for common ppl to do on a regular basis so consistently.. It's all in the mind..The sub conscious mind.. GREATEST PLAYMAKER, UNBELIEVABLE GOAL SCORER,BEST DRIBBLER PASSER..Just absolute genius at everything..Simply THE GOAT! 🐐

[@jal051]

Messi's physical appearance is an advantage for his way of playing. He has a very low center of gravity which helps him turn and run with the ball faster. It's harder to dribble like he does if you are taller.

[@theprophet489]

Messi does something that I always say to people no matter what situation you are in always think ahead what next is going to happen take control and you will be in control that is what makes Messi the world greatest player anything after Messi will have to be something like a robot like what they introduced in the game of chess

[@bryanatherton7377]

but my good man there are players that are identical in size height and can never be like him so that cannot be any advantage it is and was the sacrifice he made to become this person it did not come as any gift he worked and worked if it was just gift we would have had a lot like him he is the one that created what we see no one else as they say what you put in is what you will get out is Messi who created Messi

Messi and Maradona both the greats of football ⚽️ 👏as I was around to see both players

[@AnthonyBuchanan-b8i]

When I think about Messi I see some of the unbelievable goals he’s scored (literally 20+ goals flash before my eyes), I see some of the goals he scored when it truly mattered (again 20+ goals flash before my eyes), and then I see the assists or moments that weren’t goals. He has done things that are inconceivable, there’s no way to describe it, calling him a magician falls short. Best ever or I will ever see

I don’t follow football any more but I watch Messi because he is so uplifting. He’s an artist. He creates magic in what he does. I am so very happy that he has won the World Cup to add to his achievements which will fuel his legacy and the legend. He seems to be very well balanced as a human being and in no way egotistical.
