Messi has had quite literally the perfect career. Greatest mix of talent and hard work. He gradually became even better and better. Avoided big injuries. Won everything with his club and gave the supporters of Barca even more than they dreamt of. He shattered goalscoring and assisting records. Also ended up winning everything he could win with his country. He's in his mid 30s now. Lots of legends retired then, he's still going strong.

He is second or third when it comes to free kicks. He is simply the most efficient footballer in history while not having physical advantages over his opponents. There will never be a player that possesses all those traits together.

Throughout Messi’s career, his most underrated attribute has to be his physicality. Even at the age of 16 he was getting fouled and hit so much but yet he hasn’t suffered many major injuries his career. You can tell that even at this age he was far better than all his peers simply because the only way they could stop him in nearly all these clips to foul him or heavily man mark him. He already seemed like a professional playing with novices at this stage. Look at how seamlessly he gets passed defenders, the space he creates by drawing several opponents towards him, his passing and vision. Absolutely insane. It’s like he knew he was above them already and was just having fun.

He's consistent, probably most consistent player of all time.

They never played soft to him and never under estimated him. They know what a trouble he can be when he have the ball that’s why multiple defender are on to him. Just amazingly and outrageously mesmerizing to watch and to wish…wish that we are same as him but it’s not! Reality check hurts sometimes you know 😅😂

I started watching football at an early age when Ronaldinho was at his prime in Barcelona and he was the reason why I started watching Barcelona . The very first football Jersey was Barcelona's I was smitten by the magic Ronaldinho produced on the pitch it was a memorable days..then I distinctively remember one day my elder brother told me that there's an Argentine boy playing in the second division of Laliga his name was Messi despite the fact that he was at Barcelona's youths I couldn't believe what he told me like he's gonna be even better than Ronaldinho so being a Ronaldinho fan my instant reaction was 😡 (kiss my soft side 😿😿) but when I started watching him playing I was feeling terrible because I thought this (son of a biscuit eater) is gonna steal the spotlight from Rony 😒😒 oh boy I was so tormented and frustrated and to add to that the way Ronaldinho was kicked out of the Club I developed hatred for Barcelona even though he was signing for my second favorite team AC MILAN then I decided fuck Barcelona anyway I watched them because of him then in a television show Ronaldinho was asked about the best player he answered Messi I was like f...ck that shit 😂😂😂 if he himself said it then I ain't got shit to say..😤😤 then I decided to quit supporting the club but that's when I realized I was fuck**,ng lying 😂😂😂 when you support a team you can never hate that team so after this long time I came to only one conclusion that is not is he the best at the present time rather the best that has ever touched the ball by long shot and none will come even near him and I firmly believe we are never going to see anything like him during our lifetime and unfortunately it's about that time when we can clearly see that he is at his Last days and the journey is about to come to an end and the football world will never be the same again 💔💔💔

Pep is Van Gaal creation, Van Gaal is Rinus Michels apprentice, Rinus was inventor of tiki taka and he has bring that in Barca, since Rinus until Xavi Iniesta and Messi tiki taka aka total football wasnt on map, Similar style had Brian Clough also but he was stubborn bastard with to much confidence for that time, otherwise Leeds back then would become limitless club in football, Cloughy was best trainer manager England had ever, total football

Crazy that this footage looks like it’s from the 80s or something. These tackles he’s on the receiving end of are criminal. How he weathered these challenges at such a young age is beyond me. The physicality/aggressiveness he’s dealing with seems almost beyond that of the professional level of higher leagues

This shows what a rare talent he has in soccer. See how effortlessly he dribbles and passes.

What makes Messi another level is how even at 12 years of age he played this way. He played the same way on the pitch as he did in training. He was once asked about his dribbling. He said ' i don't aim to dribble past the player its to but the ball into space. '. His shooting improved the stronger he got. He worked hard on freekicks. placement of the ball and studying the defenders. There will never be another football player like Messi,

'If you're good enough, you're old enough'. He could have played in the first team of any club even at 16. Tiny physique; no muscle; ruthless opponents who evidently weren't above kicking lumps out of a kid- no problem for the greatest player of our generation. 👏🏆🏅 I'd be amazed if I see anyone like him again in my lifetime.

Oh, just imagine to be a spectator on these games. they had no idea they watched the GOAT!

One and Only Messi. The most unique footballer ever sent by God. He was so purely genius since he was a kid. He got so many tackles, and I've heard so many Players had quit playing, but this boy, Messi, seemed like unstoppable. He is already perfect footballer since he was a kid. He has broken many records, he has become the most decorated player with Trophies ever. And now he has left us his legacy that will not be easy to be repeated. Forever G.O.A.T. Captain of the World. ❤

This just shows how important talent is. This guy is doing things at 16 that most players can never do

What's amazing about this is that Messi at this young age didn't really do body feints to try to trick the player he just dribbled and cut in and out a lot and used his speed. He had learn to incorporate body feints so that he doesn't get fouled and it gives him extra time to escape the defenders swooping leg

His speed is phenomenol. He can amazingly change direction with high speed. Superb

Casi todos querían lastimarlo por la desesperación y la impotencia de no poder detenerlo... increíble que no lo consiguieron 😱 Definitivamente el mejor jugador de todos los tiempos.

You can see the genius at so young. When you watch Pelé, Maradona and R9 you see very similar too.

Interesting fact is that he still have the same way of using the pitch - dropping deep to detect the tempo, drifting to the right side of the pitch, passing between defence lines, etc. WOW

Skillwise he was the best in football's history, no doubt. This coming from a Brazilian. Pele, Maradona, name whoever you want, this dude showed the most objective soccer ever played. This in an era dominated by high competitiveness and improvements in football tactics and so on. Truly amazing.

The Best in the world! No compromisе!!!!!!

I played 4th division in Spain in the early 80s. I don't believe 4th exists anymore. I think it has been merged into 3rd A and B. Anyway, I remember how hard the hits were back then vs today. Watching this video shows that. There is no way you could get by without yellow or red cards with some of the hits Messi is taking. By the time we were 18 our body was already breaking. Which is sort of what happened to me. It's amazing that players like Messi and Maradona endured that punishment for years. It was at the time, a pretty violent game.
