[@arjunkishore4080]

The thing I love most about players like Busquets and Messi is how they elevate the players around them. For the longest time, Busquets was the overlooked member of the Barcelona midfield because Xavi and Iniesta were a lot flashier. Messi on the other hand always looks after the other goalscorers and often let’s them take penalties to boost their confidence when they are in a drought. We saw this with martinez vs Charlotte, but he has done the same for Suarez, NeymR and even Mbape in the past. That is what differentiates him from other GOAT candidates like Maradona, Pele and CR7

[@44nkk]

🤣🤣🤣🤣 Maradona elevated his teammates far more than Messi, Cruyff also.

I mean Maradona is famous for elevating is teammates. I think what differentes Messi and Maradona is his finishing.

[@thesunnynationg]

Mascherano as CM in the late 00's was a great choice for Barca. I was so annoyed that they took him from Liverpool, but i knew Barca was a better spot for him in that time. in German we called him the vacuum cleaner bc there was no ball passing the midfield without him in either direction. today his legacy lives on with busquets

[@CoreyMcKinneyFC]

Messi is changing the sport of football for Americans. We’re just blessed to be a part of it!

[@thesunnynationg]

now you only need a normal league system Guys. It makes the sport what it is, actually exciting when your team could be demoted or banging a season to climb into the next league. 🤯🤯🤯🤯 and over the pond you guys also know how to hype things up don't you. 😉😉😎

[@montxogandia]

@@thesunnynationg I think it is actually interesting that they don't have relegation. It makes the teams focus less on defence and exploit offensive players and tactics. The NBA is probably the most competitive basketball league in the world and they don't have relegation.

[@thesunnynationg]

then the average score in an MLS match should be about 10+ Goals. even though im not watching MLS i got a feeling its nowhere near 10. It may work with NBA but we're talking about Football (⚽) here.

[@montxogandia]

@@thesunnynationg Most european football players that goes to MLS say it's nothing like europe when you loose. People focus on winning, but teams are not as afraid to lose or as happy to be a middle table team. Players enjoy more their time, have less pressure and more "attractive" players can have more chances. I think it is interesting to have at least one league like this in the world, we already have the other way in all european leagues.

[@thesunnynationg]

@@montxogandia sound like a retirement home for good players. honestly nobody will ever care about MLS as long as you guys dont change this. as you said it doesn't matter if you win or lose. so what is the point in even Playing? just for advertisment? for the sake to play? even if its just for the sake of playing im not gonna watch the game but go and play myself

[@TrojansOwl1]

man, i feel for you guys, that you missed 90 percent of messi's career, and all of his prime. watching highlights now is one thing but seeing those goals as they happened live is indescribable. no other athlete in any sport has made me feel that way. just utter shock and awe.

@@ArdoEdu he's talking about in Paris, specifically. Yes, he was still loved by the world, but in Paris he was blamed for their failures. If you watched his games, he was still the best player almost every game but with a lack of a strong midfield, especially with the loss of Neymar, they were destined to fail. But Messi, the best player of all time, was blamed for not producing as much as they expected. He still created chances though and did everything he could.

[@MeatVision]

A few things that maybe the americans or the rest of the world missed about Messi, he could be playing in Europe right now, but he thought in Argentina National team, because he got a training campus in Miami for the AFA because Copa America and World Cup is going to be played in United States, so he's going to be local during those tournaments. Another thing is that he wouldn't be playing if he's not convinced he's going to win something. I as argentinian never thought to watch MLS, is kinda like an american watching argentinian basketball league, is that crazy, but here in Argentina we are watching every Messi match we can. Finally, I must thank all the american people for taking care of our magic man

[@nomansland5113]

He's always been that boy. Cannot take his eyes off the ball, obsessed with reaching the goal, ultra competitive mindset. We should continue to expect greatness from Lio

[@ValueNetwork]

3:47 that quote really sums up what makes Messi in the MLS different from other players who went over to the US. Look back at David Beckhams stint at LA Galaxy, yes he was also a great player who was superior to his competition, but IMO he made the MLS feel like a retirement home, a league that he went to because he was past his prime, a way for him to wind down his career and eventually set up his own MLS franchise. On the other hand Messis mentality has been nothing but determination to keep playing, and it shows in his performance. Messi isn’t using the MLS to retire, he’s using it as the opposite: so he can keep playing and keep winning.

[@jazzx251]

Times have changed though - the quality of "homegrown" MLS players, or the youngsters from both within and without the league is MUCH better. To the extent that old has-beens are getting found out pretty quickly if they treat this league as a free ride to retirement. Alot of them have pissed off to Saudi Arabia for stupefying levels of cash - never to be seen again on a competitive football field again by most people. Because NOBODY is going to watch that Saudi crap. These players have sold their souls, and disappeared themselves. Lionel was offered that satanic deal - and chose MLS instead for much less money. Good choice.

[@myvidaloka]

@@jazzx251exactly. Spot on. Messi has always been the humble one. So you knew right away that he wasn’t gonna go to Saudi Arabia. And I’m hearing Griezmann wants to play in MLS eventually. That that was his goal always. So hopefully with Messi here in the states, brings a boatload of players here even during their peaks to help grow the sport even more here in America.

[@411Highlights]

It wasn’t that in Europe he wasn’t happy, it was just psg, the fans didn’t treat him well but Barca was his dream club.

[@johnylocky9671]

[@tfmkhonza1430]

[@CZTachyonsVN]

​@@johnylocky9671 The core issue has been and still is the managme. They only know how to throw money and do marketing. With or without Messi (Mbappe and Naymar for that matter) they still can't be win UCL. But fans used Messi and then Naymar as scapegoats. The fact is, the team was poorly balanced. I heard Zidane was coming to PSG so maybe he can change things around.

[@ralfklonowski3740]

Cosmos New York signing Pele and Beckenbauer decades ago was about the same regarding the players, but then the U.S. public was not ready to get as hyped up about a great soccer player as they are now about Messi. Having such a charismatic and teamorientated player for a while is a blessing. I still remember when Real Madrid star Raul Gonzales Blanko played at Schalke 04 for two years towards the end of his career, 2010-2012. He worked hard, led by exampel and shot some heartbreakingly beautiful goals. He galvanized his teammates, with Klaas Jan Huntelaar becoming the top scorer of the 2011-2012 Bundesliga season. We loved and adored him and he is still remembered with affection here.

[@Peter.Parker]

The undisputed goat! It's Happy to see that both of you have gained so much knowledge in football! It's so good to see that ❤️

[@101RadioheadCovers]

Messi was loved by all in Europe too. It's just that we don't idolise people to same extend as Americans over here. He does look happier now than at PSG. PSG does not seem like a nice working environment with all the money and egos involved. He never really wanted to leave Barca, I would have liked to see him stay there for another few years, he could easily be still playing for them. Glad to see him happy now and I hope this can be a long term catalyst for football's popularity in the US, and not just a short term fad.

[@gamingtheory6035]

Ah, no he wasn't... He was constantly being disrespected by the French and Spanish press. The French were especially hostile against Messi after the World Cup. The PSG ultras even booed him and his family on the pitch, so don't come at me with that bullshit. You know nothing about Americans.

[@101RadioheadCovers]

@@gamingtheory6035 I'm talking about football fans, not press or hooligans. I know a little about Americans. For example, half of them idolise a rapist wannabe dictator that's been a known con man since the 80s, to the extent that they're willing to destroy the foundations of their democracy to stroke his ego. 🤷🏻

Sergio Ramos (Real Madrid defender) he played on the Spain National team for years with Busquets. And he was once asked also "who is the best on the field?" or something and his answer was "I don't know, but we can't be without Busquets" So he is clearly the technichan.

[@ce7768]

He is loved like this in Europe too and everywhere else in the world. Not sure what yall be talking about. His stint in PSG was miserable bc they blamed everything on him even though Mbappe was the one who made that club horrible. So again - do your research before commenting on these things bc the fans you see here are nothing compared to any other part of the world where he goes. Just China, the month before he came had millions come out to watch him play (the videos are on youtube). He is a God amongst men and if PSG embraced him - he wouldn't have left BUT they became more salty after he beat them in the world cup. Oh well..

[@carlospantoja4253]

Idk what you are talking about every time I see people loving him like this but there are people who are always talking down and treating him like shit in Europe or that he lost his touch.

[@Validboy]

They changed the rules because of Messi so you could win multiple times. Many all time legends have 1 or none! Cristiano has a few and he's definetly NOT a legend, he's only good at clubs, internationally he has never won anything of significance which is a must to ever be considered a legend. Its may be an indication of greatness, but no more than that and only offensive players even have a chance to win it. Many of the greatest players ever never did because they were busy defending or passing. Yeah its sort of like an MVP, its a great honor bestowed upon you by media and old men, but really it means nothing if you dont win.. Look at Messi man, so inspirational 😉

[@fisheye375]

UEFA changed rules before the beginning of the season not just before the votes so…And you lost me at Cristiano is not a legend..please Goodbye and have a good life

[@MiguelStinson88]

​@@Validboy Ronaldo won the European Football Championship 2016 with Portugal in France. Most consider that competition even harder than the World Cup, because there are almost no easy opponents in Europe. So saying he never won anything of significance outside his clubs is not really promoting your football expertise. He's definitely not the best there ever was, since he wasn't even the best of his time. But he's TOP 10 of all times at least! People tend to forget his number also skyrocketed and got higher season after season, he broke many records as well. Cristiano Ronaldo became the 1st player to ever score in 3 Champions League finals. As far as I know he won 3 consecutive Champions League titles with Real Madrid - before that not a single team could win this title even two times in a row. This is the hardest competition in football.

[@footballforlife2643]

Messi goes to Miami because Miami is a latin/spanish area with a lot of his friends live there So that's why he choose that

[@Freezercool10]

Speaking about first touch and control. I think one of Messi’s overlooked goals is his goal vs Nigeria in the 2018 WC. He receives a long ball and just puts it to sleep with his thigh, takes one touch then shoots and scores all while having a defender 2ft away from him at the worlds biggest stage. Incredibly hard to replicate.

[@aceofspoons8382]

That's one of my favourites ❤

[@Validboy]

That goal is SOO sick.. The part I love the most is how he receives it with his left thigh across his body and put it right on his right foot, all while in full sprint.. That is such a difficult technique on a long pass if not damn near impossible, normally the ball would continue out of bounce. But I dont know if its overlooked, he just has so many picture perfect goal that such a technical goal doesnt make the top 20 normally, because only you and me can see its a crazy goal, to others it look rather normal probably..

[@Kemachris]

Insane goal, that takedown is so hard to pull off, and he did it perfectly in full sprint and defender pressure. Even the touch after was perfect.

I believe Messi could do the same thing he's doing now in Europe but in psg he was playing more of a role player style of play like how Rooney was just as good as Ronaldo and Beckham but he played more of a background style and let them shine but if Messi was made centre of play in any European team a he's doing the same thing he's doing now

[@andrechen2617]

One thing that I reckon might be food for thought - besides the commercial deals- a few of the reasons why he decided on MLS over the Saudi league was because of the relative security and lifestyle that the US provides, proximity to Argentina, comparative anonymity and potential to leave a real legacy in a league currently undergoing organic puberty and teenage-hood, rather than an infant Saudi league with 5000 fans in stadiums a game (optimistically), artificially force-fed and inflated to grow sideways, but not upwards.

You mention a good point about speed of thought. World class players make the game look easy because they've already decided what they are going to do before they receive the ball. Also a truly world class player has excellent decision making, they know when the try fancy skills and when to keep it simple. Quite often the most simple/ basic football is the most effective, they make the game look easy. This is where Messi. Busquets and Alba excel, their bodies might be slowing down but their speed of thought makes up for it, so they are 2 steps ahead of the opposition.

PSG were overloaded with 3 of the world best attackers and the main man was M'Bappe. PSG were far superior to the opposition so Messi could afford to have poor game, he didnt need to touch the ball and PSG would still win. Where's the motivation in that? Where as at Miami Messi knows it's going to tough as the team is poor, so he knows there's massive responsively on his shoulders, also he realises fans have paid huge ticket prices, so he needs to focus every match. In Europe it was tougher because there's a culture of promotion/ relegation, so the result becomes massively important. Saw the Philadelphia Union goalie smiling last night when he conceded and Philli fans smiling when Messi scored. However in the UK the result is so serious, during any match Messi would be booed with intimidation tactics to put him off his game. Imagine if you played against Messi and if you lost the rule was you're not getting paid, the players wouldn't then be smiling asking for autographs after the game, they would feel angry and so sad that they lost.

Watching you guys from top of the world Nepal bcuz of Messi in IMFC

Nah, Messi was respected by most in Europe. Opposition fans gave him standing ovations at times, even Real Madrid fans. PSG was just not a good fit, plus the way the transition happened was bad, he wasn't ready. But he still performed well if you check his stats there. So don't let the PSG stint taint your view of how fans in Europe perceived Messi, and that’s coming from a non-European fan 😂. The MLS move is great for US soccer pre World Cup. And Messi was ready for it. That’s why he seems happy. It's a pity that the move has affected ticket pricing, which doesn't happen elsewhere in the world because football is a working class, every day man's sport, whereas in the US it's an elite sport.

Barça is pronounced Barsa, not Barca. It's a "C trencada" in Catalan or "C cedilla" in Spanish. In Spanish was used in medieval times, nowadays it's not in the alphabet anymore. In Catalan it's still used.

Messi is respected in Europe and loved at Barca but not at PSG they bood him multiple times so he wasn't happy there. Psg attacked Messi for getting eliminated in UCL and then Messi with Argentina beat France.

[@swap_google_4_fdroid_n_newpipe]

He was unhappy at PSG because the hardcore France and PSG Ultras hated and bashed him every single game after he won against France and before the WC he wasn't the leader of the team and some PSG players hated that he walks the pitch too much "Hey Messi walk over here".

6:19 love the @dabronco shout

[@Lanatus]

It’s nice to see him having fun again. I’m glad Messi, Neymar, and Mbappe are all able to get out of the shithole called PSG.

Busquets is definitely the GOAT Holding Defensive Midfielder, he’s not athletic or physically imposing but his IQ is something else

I placed a big bet on Miami when Cruz Azul equalized... I lost all hope when I saw the added time being just 2 minutes... and then the free-kick happened, you can imagine my joy when the ball went in haha
