This video is pretty much just Messi dribbling and scoring, but he is also one of the best passers of the ball and chance creators ever. To put it in a more known terminology for u guys, he is kinda like a running back and quarterback all in one. Thats what makes him the greatest for me, and ofcourse he has ridicilous numbers when it comes to goals and assists, and have been consistent the best player for his entire career of 15+ years.

[@richardedgar9670]

About ten years ago when comparing Messi and Ronaldo one journalist said something like ‘one thinks he’s God, but the other probably is’. And that summed it up beautifully because Messi played football, while Ronaldo played his brand. To be fair he’s grown up a bit since.

[@24magiccarrot]

I have to disagree, you only have to look at the highlights of any player from that era and look at how lapse the defending was then compared to now. Look at the second goal he scores against England and how much space he has when he picks the ball up then look how garbage the tackling is, with players diving in making it much easier to skip past them leaving them for dead where as now teams press much higher up the pitch and they don't dive in giving them the chance to recover when they are beaten. The players behind the pressing players also play a lot more compact giving running players so much less room to work. Messi has a lot less room to work with yet still manages to maintain control, beat players and make enough space to shoot.

[@fre1975]

Only Maradona has done both at such a high level at the same time. Neymar and Rooney also are great goalscorers/playmakers, which is something extremely uncommon in the sport.

In that case, one of his gifts is his size. He can make two steps or have two touches when the taller defenders have only time for one. That makes a huge difference and very hard to defend him. He's got many other skills too but that makes him stand out as a dribbler.

Fun fact about messi. He never runs for the first 10mins on avg of every game. He just watches the opposition, maps what every player is doing and how they play. Finds a teams weakness then raises his hand to his teammates to signal he's ready to begin. Got another one, can't remember who it was but they just signed with barca, at the first training session he was walking out and messi just arrived on the pitch aswell. The ball got knocked to messi, he gave a cheeky smile and charged at the full barca def. Took it past 5 and slid it in, he jogged by with the same cheeky smile and waving a fist. He then stopped and tied his boots because he wasn't ready to start when he got the ball.

[@Cologne.1948]

Heres the problem with that year's and years in training: if you are really lucky your career as a professional football player start at the age of 16 and end in the early/mid 30s. So you have only 15 to 20 years to archive the best you'll ever show at the pitch (of you are lucky and don't get any big injuries). And of course you have players like CR7 or RL9 who became so good with training but if you don't have the level of talent Messi has, you'll never be close to Lionel. That's why there never was anyone as good as him. [edit.] Pele, in his generation, was similar to what Messi is today BUT if you compare prime Pele to prime Messi, Messi would win easily bc football nowadays is way faster and way more technical than it used to be in Peles prime.

His coach said, if you score two goals tomorrow I'll allow you the extra days, the next day he had scored the two "required" goals in the first 20 minutes or so. He ended scoring a third, and by then was telling the coach that he had to leave because his plane was leaving in an hour.
