Most Strikers sprint away from defenders. Messi just runs towards a bunch of defenders to dribble past them. *Because he can.* Legend.

[@nick1177]

Except anyone who's not stupid knows you go at the players if you want to take them on. People don't just run away from defenders.

[@npn8945]

How he touches the ball close to your feet then knows the defenders's gonna try get to it and he just touches it,slitest of touch past you.Magical little man!🙌Or I'm I just over thinking things here🤔🤔

[@Lazy-AI]

I found some peace after reading this comment. Nice observation dude. It feels like he knows exactly how much body fainting is required to misdirect a defender to an extent after which there is no coming back. eg. 1:44, 5:48, 6:42, 7:09, 7:22

[@lucho_lucero]

It's not just the control of the ball but the movement of his body with it. It's just incredible..

[@El__Forastero]

Messi is the greatest football player...ever. I feel lucky to be alive to witness it with my own eyes.

[@Jesusforme326]

Pele and Maradona were exceptional but aren't close to Messi. Messi is like a snake that moves unhindered amongst grasses. Best that ever played the game.

[@bearcharge]

My impression is that Messi can handle 4 defenders on average. The epic goal against Getafe involves 5 defenders, only 1 more than the average level. It is epic because these 5 defenders happen to spread across half field, making Messi's goal look so magnificent. In other words, if defenders are not so spatially concentrated (as in other cases), the epic goal against Getafe can be repeated many times by Messi.

[@talharifaai]

what drives me crazy is he runs WITH the ball faster than the defenders who can't catch up once they lose him

[@abracadabruh1313]

Talha Rifaai It’s not necessarily him being too quick for them in terms of speed. It’s his acceleration. Two players can’t tackle him at the same time and Messi takes advantage of this fact, as soon as one gets close he activates his speed. That’s why he’s so effective!

There is good players like cristiano, Pelé, Ronaldhino, so many but, Messi is all the way in the top standing up alone. This is not something you can’t get by training, no matter what you do, no matter how hard you try, you’ll never get to that level look at Cristiano, excellent, great, but, he is not of Messi’s quality. Messi is the soccer king. Nobody can dispute that title, no man “or woman” have that level of skills. He is just beyond imagination. Look at those moments where he is at full speed doing unthinkable movements “for a normal brain”, look at his control of gravitational point. Its to many things compiled all together to make the KING MESSI.

Lionel de Todos Messi Chegou a hora de descansar, nobre guerreiro... Domou, subjugou e aterrorizou absolutamente todos os adversários. Trabalhou incansavelmente pelos teus objetivos, com muita nobreza e extrapolando a palavra Fair Play. A FIFA deveria passar a utilizar, o Fair Messi. Em boa hora, soube recolher as gigantescas asas que Deus te deu pra poder voar pelos gramados do mundo inteiro. Asas tão gigantescas que desde que você despontou no planeta da bola, fez sombra a todos os outros jogadores, os que te amam ou os que te odeiam, incrivelmente pelo mesmo motivo, porque você é insuperável. Não foi por maldade, nós sabemos disso, teu enorme talento os aprisionou a serem segundos, terceiros ou quartos melhores do mundo... Nem os melhores técnicos conseguiram te dominar, não houve nenhuma fórmula eficiente, todos eles reconheceram: NÃO EXISTE FÓRMULA PRA PARAR MESSI! Teu longevo e indiscutível reinado, tirou as esperanças de todos os jogadores que tiveram que conviver no teu Reino, obviamente, excelentes jogadores, verdadeiros craques também, mas nenhum deles, pode se sobrepor ao teu inacreditável talento, sejam companheiros do mesmo time ou os enfadados adversários, muitas vezes apelando para a violência. Inacreditavelmente você respondia ao anti jogo e deslealdade com "gritos" de mais e melhor futebol em campo. Ainda não descobriram que te deixar zangado num campo de futebol, era a pior decisão, pois seriam massacrados com teu enorme repertório... Ninguém pode com você Lionel... domou a todos com sua humildade e maestria. Sempre humilde em tuas decisões, você percebeu magistralmente a hora certa de começar a empreender a tua retirada, discretamente, como você sempre foi... chegou a hora Lionel... você entende isso mais do que ninguém, nós é que nunca entenderemos... porque você nos acostumou muito mal... Tá chegando a hora... saber dar passagem a outros jogadores na hora certa é pra poucos, e você também tem esse dom. Agora, começa a alegria de pouquíssimos jogadores, que serão os novos protagonistas do futebol mundial, claro, depois que você levante a oitava bola de ouro. Esta também é tua! O gênio já começou a se recolher... e te alpudiremos sempre com um sorriso e uma lágrima no rosto. Este momento, é só seu, merecidamente. A MLS nos trará ainda, muitas alegrias e vamos poder nos divertir juntos mais um pouco... essa sua magia, nos enfeitiçou pro resto das nossas vidas. Muito obrigado, Lionel Andrés Messi.
