"If statistic are there , Why debate" ? Because he is not the most flashy player. No special tricks , no fancy moves , but everything he does seems so easy for him. He's super efficient. He broke the game. 😁It's like playstation said Zlatan. If you're not a Football/soccer fan , I suggest to watch other player who loves tricks and spectcular moves. You'll have a lot of fun discovering them and study why these move are so hard to reproduce with your feet and your body. Have a nice day.

The reason why a debate existed between messi and ronaldo: • they played for the biggest rival clubs in football history at the same time and scored unbelievable number of goals • ronaldo has won back to back champions leauge trophies while messi was losing back to back international finals. This provided ronaldo admirers with arguments to stretch the debate for years. But now at the end of their career messi came back for all the trophies he could possibly win and denied all naysayers.

As an American myself, I didn't grow up appreciating the game of soccer, either. But I happened to be in Germany in 2006, during the World Cup, and Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo were the talk of the cosmopolitan town. I got hooked on the sport and started paying attention when I got back Stateside and.... Lemme tell you: I don't think there's ever been an athlete in my lifetime, in ANY sport, who captured my imagination like that little dude. When he finally won the World Cup a couple of years ago, at the age of 35, I wept like a widow. The man is literally divine. All of his fellow professional peers will tell you the same. Having said that... If you're a soccer/futbol novice... Well, you need to check out Zlatan Ibrahimovic. Zlatan was not as good as Messi or Ronaldo or Pele or yada yada whoever, but... Zlatan's highlight reel is unmatched.

[@leobeenplakker6505]

Messi can switch directions so fast, on full speed with the ball glued to his feet, but still keeps the composure balance and head up to see what’s around him…his technical ability in small spaces, his football iq, one touch passing, decision making…you don’t even need to mention his insane stats, goals assists trophy’s…even without them he is the goat. His stats just makes it beyond INSANE! Unimaginable and unmatched. Ronaldo was a entertaining player in his younger years, at least for the casuals. Those circus skills he had wasn’t my cup of tea. Later in his career he became a goal scoring machine, with an incredible eye for space and knowing where to be. But lacks all the quality’s Messi has, wich makes him not even close to being as complete Messi is.

[@ippoipper6391]

Messi in a Interview: "'I was small, we would all go to the neighbourhood club where the whole family always went; my brother and cousins would all play, each in their respective category as we were all of the different ages. 'I was one of the youngest ones and therefore there were no categories for me yet. The ‘86 team, a year older than me, was playing and they needed a player - so my grandmother told the coach 'put Leo in the team'. 'No, how am I going to put him in the team, look how small he is, you’re crazy, he’s going to get hurt,' the coach said. But she kept saying 'put him, put him'. 'Apparently, when I went, I did some things and from then, my grandmother came back and told him: ‘Buy him football shoes and next week I will bring him here for training’ - and that’s when I started. It was an amazing time.” 'I scored two goals although truthfully, I do not remember much as I was quite young, but that is the story as my grandmother used to tell it.'" Leo's grandma died in 1998 when Messi was 11. Every time he scores a goal he points to the heavens to pay tribute to her.

[@garythefishable]

Given how popular and competitive football is it's crazy how much better Messi was than everybody else at his peak.

Messi is the best of all time and really that much better than anyone else. He is really unbelievable - absolute anomaly, but the thing with football is that there are many styles one can have like being great in the air, off the ball, physically dominant, etc., therefore there are many ways to be great other than just ball control and technical aspects with the ball. Having that said, the skills on the ball are the most important aspect and Messi is unparalled at those in history of football. Some might be as good as him at passing or dribbling or shoting, but nobody other than Messi is all time great at all three most important aspects of football. There is really no debate. It is quite unlikely we will ever see someone as good as him in football.

People who don't watch FOOTBALL thinks otherwise , People who watches football regularly , knows MESSIAH IS GOAT

[@Vee64917]

I like the way you looked amazed. That’s how I been feeling since I started watching Messi back when I was 8, now I’m turning 24.

[@MessiTheGoat-hv3jc]

Messi is the greatest of all time

[@bibitodr]

GOAT M10 🫶♥️👑✌️

[@johnchristmas7522]

Messi is the most complete footballer ever, watch all you can of this man, I dont think there will ever be another in a lifetime. just take a look at all the awards he has won, just about more than anybody else. One other thing, all the guys he plays against are top professionals and will be the first to admit, he is the very best.

[@christali4990]

He simply the best, the greatest soccer player ever! Ive watched all the other great players but none closer to Messi. He is born to play soccer. Thats his God given gift. ❤

[@Ml10101]

Messi makes it look easy ✌️

[@ndupukelvin6573]

This is our reaction when we watch Messi. Our jaws drop and we say how.

[@jwelsje]

You should also watch Ronaldinho; they used to play together at Barcelona in the beginning years of Messi.

[@ShyamPandey-k8z]

When messi play you have 3 player in 1, a right winger, striker, second striker, Cender attacking midfielder ohh sorry it's 4. That's why he is goat 🐐

[@smogspock]

Messi is that good that literally no one knows his actual prime💀

[@kingrex688]

The long hair was when he was younger and he was better in both era, he was very good even as a young and old player

[@christianherrmann9615]

No doubt the people know soccer says Ever Messi is the goat

[@amrito5772]

he points at the sky to honor his late gradma who was his best support system when he was growing up.

[@Mankamania]

He is just better than everyone else. He had different peaks ; his goal scoring peak was 2012, his dribbling peak was his early years , complete peak, was around 2018 to 2023

[@DarkkStar007]

When you see highlights of other footballers you'll only see goals and goals throughout the video but in Messi's case when you see his highlights video for example if you're watching 30 minutes video then the 10 minutes will be just the goals and the rest time will be the magic which he produces in the pitch❤ he's the greatest 🐐❤❤❤

[@edwisongogo6326]

Wow this your 5th Messi Reaction already nice.

[@GeronhiJulson-bq3rs]

Messi IS the football

[@martinzugasti]

Every time he scores a goal, he points to the sky in honor of his grandmother, who was the one who supported him the most in his early days in soccer. It's not that the rest of his family didn't do it, but his grandmother was the one who was most present and took him to her club when he was very little.

[@aelere7702]

Messi was always at his peak and that is also why he was (probably still is) the best. When you see amazing players they usually have a peak of 3 or 4 years. Messi and Cristiano did it for 15 years. But the best of messi was 2012 and 2015 (for me the 2015 version was unstoppable, mature and couldn't stop scoring and assisting goals).

[@Darin_H]

Messi is the best player in history! Flat earthers: "Hold my Beer" 🍺

[@maxelito7590]

i went to Camp Nou and saw him agianst atletico, he is even more amazing IRL. Nothing comes close to Lio

[@johnsouthwell1869]

he is just that much better than everyone else

[@emptyfueltank]

Messi is the MJ in football. He's considered the GOAT but you can still make the case for other top players that dominated their eras.

[@AleGonzalez-md7jk]

Love your reaction bro.I feel in love in football because of this man.Visca Barça

[@hamzamamdani3559]

3:55 that player he droppped was one of the best defenders in the world at the time and that was the best goalie in the world

[@rednaskela4830]

Him pointing to the sky is for his grandmother, he started doing that as a kid when she passed. People also found out what he said to himself seconds before Argentina scored the winning penalty in the world cup final shootout and that was "It could be today, Grandma." she was the one who took him to play for the first time.

[@AntonielAlfred]

Messi's videos give me goosebumps 😢😢 lucky to see this Alien

[@ismaelchavez5248]

2012-2015 was messi greatest prime. Its crazy any top player would dream of having messi lowest peak. By the way he really doesn’t have a low peak. Every year is impressive. Thats what is so special
