[@shhinobii]

If you were opposing team fan you start sweating as soon as he gets the ball, turns towards goal and starts running even when he's near the center of the field. He was the most feared player ever. This is coming from Milan's fan.

[@davidtogi5878]

Yeah that turn + sprint was deadly af. Cant believe legendary defenders got caught by it like a bunch of amateurs but that what makes him phenomenal. He makes legends looks like a fool.

Very fast, amazing dribbler, and physically strong. The greatest striker of all time, and the most complete player.

[@minhatecanatuabund1nhax0xa]

@john Cenna Lol. Messi doesn`t even get close to Ronaldo or Rivaldo. Zidane is bellow those two and there were a lot of other better players such as Maradona, Zico, Pelé, a bunch of them were better than these you mentioned.

[@minhatecanatuabund1nhax0xa]

@john Cenna he beat in one game, moron. Each game has a different story. Zizou was great, but didn`t get even close to these guys. And before them Brazil had a lot of other greater players. Just go watch the brazilian team from 1970 or 1982 and you will see it.

[@minhatecanatuabund1nhax0xa]

@john Cenna Ronaldinho played with high performance from 1999 to 2007. Then he was just kidding around. Go watch him playing by gremio or PSG and in the brazilian selections from sub15 to the adult team.

[@djfunkychicken]

The fitness trainer he had while at Inter said his 60m sprints were 6.2 - 6.5 seconds (36 km/h) At Madrid his 60 sec sprints were around 7.5 - 7.8 (31km/h)

[@gettjerry2362]

Can’t be 6.2 that would mean he is the fastest man to ever run 60 meters

I totally understand how people would think the numbers are fake or lies. However from my memories of his entire career to the many videos of KZbin.. NEVER EVER have I seen the acceleration that R9 had in particular when he first went to Barca. Kaka also said that when the Brazilian team trained for the World Cup none of them could beat Ronaldo in sprints.

[@gdiggedy9]

Probably the fastest player ever running with the ball. Insane speed with control. There might be faster out there, but not with the ball at their feet.

[@disagol]

Lio? Magnet and running at full speed. Conducting the ball while running for me is messi 1st and then a close 2nd between R9 and Maradona

[@prazman]

But r9 is faster than Leo. R9 hits the ball slightly forward but still in control and that let’s him run faster. Messi has the ball glued to his feet, so that slightly reduces his speed.

I beleive that he is the best player ever in history (fast, skillful, accurate shooter)

[@leolare]

I've been saying this for ever but people usually disagree and tell me Messi is better.

[@christianindividual4550]

@@leolare I think Messi is better than the others, simply because Messi is so good, in so much. R9 and Maradona are all time dribblers Ronaldinho, R9, Maradona and Neymar are all time technicians Laudrup, Xavi, De Bruyne (yes he is recent but his skill is undeniable) are all time creators Pirlo, Xavi, Scholes are all time passers Juninho, Beckham, Mihajlovic are all time dead ball specialists CR7, Müller, Pele, Puskas, Romario, these were all time goalscorers. I say Messi simply because he is all time in everything. Take the last decade for example. People see Messi and Ronaldo (CR7) as goalscorers, so it's no surprise they were the most prolific in 2010-2020. However, people don't also realise that Messi created more than anyone else, assisted more than anyone else, scored freekicks more than anyone else, passed better than *almost* everyone else (through balls, short-quick, long balls, all of it). The argument for Messi is that, he is simply amongst the best of all time in so many categories. All these other major players mentioned excelled in one, maybe even two or three things, but Messi is so proficient, and so prolific in almost all aspects of the offensive game. That's the difference. R9 could pass well, but not 'amongst the best in football history', well. Laudrup could score, but not at a high level level. Pele and Romario had great control and technique, but not the highest level, i.e. technique on the ball like R10, Messi or Neymar. Messi is the odd one out, because I have never seen this combination of being amongst the best in football history, in: Goals scored Finishing ability (not always directly correlated to number of goals scored) Passing ability Assists Vision - through balls etc. Creativity on the ball - ability improvise and create a goalscoring chance out of seemingly nothing Strike Technique - linked to finishing and passing ability, this is just the way in which the player strikes the ball. For example, amongst active players KDB and Messi have the best strike technqiue. Control - both controlling a ball to a dead spot, and controlling it on the move, and close control as part of the next category, which is Dribbling - not much needs to be said here for Messi, we all know. Tactical awareness - the impact a player has without necessarily having the ball at his feet. Off ball movement is up there with CR7, although people tend to miss it. All I'm saying here, to wrap it up is, Messi is amongst the best passers, playmakers, goalscorers, dribblers, technicians and finally dead ball specialists of all time. That's why I think he is the best. I have never seen that combination. R9 had the unusual combinations of being strong/stocky yet very skilled, and also being extremely fast yet controlled on the ball at the same time. But at the output end of it, this didn't equal absurd ability in every aspect of the game like Messi. R9 was rapid, could score at will, extremely skilled on the ball, but only passed well, created well - that is, he did it well, no doubt, but not " _amongst the best passers and creators in football history_ " well. That's what I mean. What do you think?

if Mbappe is fast with the ball imagine Ronaldo is super fast with the ball. Unstoppable!! I never see someone faster than Ronaldo (before his injuries) And imagine we never see Ronaldo in his true prime age how great should be because he was already injured bad back to back

[@09thespecialone]

Exactly, that’s the scary thing about him. He never had a prime. In his teenage years, Ronaldo had simply alienesque abilities before the injuries. Just phenomenal! Literally a cheat code. Ronaldo is arguably the best footballer that has ever existed.
