The ability to just walk through the midfield and the defense is incredible and is like a superpower for the team he plays for.

It's really incredible. When my German team played Argentina in the 2014 WC final everybody watching with me would look physically stressed every time Messi had the ball.

Haaland is a great goal scorer, very strong with amazing shooting and heading, while Messi is the full package, agility, strength, speed, vision and passing, dribbling, freekicks, long shoots, finishing moves, insane ball control, it's like having the best skills of every other player into one player. His only weakness is heading, because of his size (and even if it's a weakness he scored a few goals with his head), but he excels in everything else. And the weird thing... it's not a product of training, hard work and learning... it's a natural skill, he got it since he was born, if you watch videos of him when he was a child he has exactly the same play-style, and his unique ability to make all the other players look like fools. I don't think this video does any justice to his true skills, but I hope you watch more of him as he's the embodiment of football. It's true that I am argentine, so I may be speaking with my heart a little bit, but when I first saw Messi I rejected him, because everybody were comparing him to Maradona at that time... after just a few matches I realized he was even better. I started following his career in Barcelona, and it was pure joy to my eyes. Between him, Xavi and Iniesta, they transformed football into art and I will never forget that.

But think of it like this.. everyday we use our hands and that grows our hand eye coordination making other sports such as basketball, football, baseballs easier to learn and play. How often do you do the things with your feet, that football requires? (Beside walking running and jumping - because most sports require at least one of them). Now imagine being the GOAT of that?

He is truly one of a kind player, i'm watching football for over 30 years. He's not human 👽

30 years ago a kid in Argentina developed the best touch, best vision, best dribbling, best finishing, and hunger to win. The rest is football history. It's almost unfair how many skills Messi was blessed with. The GOAT was on his way then.

The more you watch the more you know how good he is.

This man made me fall in love with football. He is out of this world. The best thing about this is he makes it look effortless; you don't know how hard it is until you actually have a ball at your feet then you realize how ridiculous his close control is. I mean he can do everything from score dribble pass. The man had 91 goals in a year😭 for context the 2nd most ever for someone of the same generation is 69. He's head and shoulders above the rest and yet the most humble of them still. Just the Greatest of All Time.

Messi is, and forever will be, the greatest ever. Genuinely an insult comparing him to other players. There's him, and then class under him like Ronaldo/pele/Maradona, and then the rest. The man is everything into one, best scorer/assister/passer/dribbler/creator and wayyyyy more. Consistent throughout his whole career. Won everything there is to win, the most decorated footballer ever. And he just won the world cup, being the best player at the tournament, and then decided to end it while on top. Go to America play in the MLS for a bit, chilling. Words cannot describe what he is to the sport. You have to understand football to understand his genius.

Innocent child like football with physically very demanding bursts and superb control over his center of gravity. Great energy manager.

The thing to realise here is just how big a football field is. How small Messi is and relate that to speed and distances covered in a game. The next thing is that you are looking from a distance and therefore can see all the available players to pass to. Messi cant. BUT has a amazing ability to 'read' the game and gives as many brilliant assists as he scores goals. Then you have to factor in, that when he was a child, he had multiple operations on his legs to lengthen them! Messi is a born football player with amazing all round skills. Started with Barcelona with the introduction from Ronaldinho at 17 and scored a hat-trick for the 1st team on his debut. Has won every medal and cup, including the World Cup and 8 Ballon d'Or's awards, scored the most goals, so how you ever doubted his ability is beyond me. Something for you to watch, when Barcelona were the best team around and played the Tiki Taka system- there was no team to beat them. I've seen the Trophy Room at Camp Nou - Barcelona's Stadium- its very very impressive. When there's a Match at home in Barcelona, the whole town goes football mad, every bar, restaurant and shop stops to watch the game on tv. something to behold, amazing. Messi is the KING! or should I say GOAT!

What makes Messi The GOAT beside being Messi is that He is one of the best if not the best goal scorer ever .. also He is one of the best if not the best play maker ever ..also He is one of the best if not the best dribbler ever He is just The best ever no questions asked

Man he is not just a trained product. He is gifted to do that. That's why he is better than others.

In all his career, he always was compared with Diego Maradona, and there is a a similar play like in the World Cup Mexico 86 against England, where Maradona did the 2nd goal (the first one was known like the "hand of God), but in that 2nd goal, he runs with the ball against 7 players of England, and Messi did almost the same play on a game with Barcelona. I'm glad that you're knowin this beautifull game. I'm a fan of River Plate from Argentina (and i hope you like it too).. take care!

For people who knows ball knows Messi is by far the greatest player ever to touch the ball and it's not even an opinion it's a fact! 🐐❤

Definitely adds to his greatness!

when you said, "maybe it comes from an area of ignorance", you hit the nail with that statement

1) Messi scored a very similar goal as Diego Maradona scored during a World Cup against England. Maradona was considered by many as the GOAT for a long time, is also Argentinian, is built like Messi, was considered a God in Napoli, Italy just as Messi is considered in Barcelona, and for a brief time coached Messi as part of the Argentine National Team. 2) Statistically Messi is the GOAT of football/soccer. Qualitatively he is the best dribbler of all time (as you witnessed), the best scorer of all time, possibly the best assist maker of all time (not sure where he ranks in assists, but definitely tops in assists for players who are tops in scoring), one of the best at free kicks. Quantitatively nobody has even close to the number of goals and assists as he has. He is the most decorated footballer of all time based on trophies won. Some players won more World Cups only because they were part of powerhouse national teams. In terms of football, the only question arises by the unfairness of comparing players in different era, such as Jordan and LeBron. LeBron never had to contend with the type of defenses that Jordan had to because of new rules. Messi had to deal with triple, quadruple teams, but during Maradona's era, defenses were literally trying to break his legs, and you had to almost kill a man to get a yellow card! 3) You have to define "athlete". Are you talking about football player, or athlete in any sport? And are you talking about effectiveness in a particular sport or athleticism of the human body? If the latter, Will Chamberlain had to be one of the top athletes of all time, and every winner of the Olympic decathlon has to be in the mix! Obviously Messi was not blessed with the most athletic body, and he might not even rank in the top million athletes in the world ever. This makes his achievements even more impressive. For a man who had a disease that stunted his growth and for the longest time prevented him from having good endurance, never has a man achieved such athletic achievements with so little athleticism, in a sport where athleticism is as much a requirement as any!

Im from the uk im very observational and i have said even 13 years ago in the champions league final i knew messi was the greatest there ever was and now just proves it.

Not arguably , He is the GOAT ... There is nothing to be argued mate... He finished Football... There is nothing left to be achieved. He was a alien , a Monster , a master of his work.

I know you are new to this but I hope you start your journey to know the sport and Messi better watching how he started playing as a child in Argentina, it will give you a deeper understanding of him. And you will get to understand how important is this sport in the world too. Of course, you also need to go into Maradona history too. Man, glad you are so young and have all this time to learn! Enjoy the journey! ❤

The thing to remember with football, is that the talent pool is astronomical. Hundreds of millions of kids play every single day. At beaches, in the street, the park, on the field across the street. Each team consists of a squad of 20+ people. In England alone, we have the Premier league. 20 teams. Each team has a squad of 25 players. In addition, they have a youth team for every single age group. We have the Championship consisting of 24 professional teams below. Each with similar youth setups. There are an additional 2 leagues of 20+ teams below that too. Make no mistake, these are all still good players. All have youth teams. There are dozens more leagues too. 7 a side teams and 5 a side teams. That's an incredible number of people honing a single craft. Now add similar numbers for all of Europe, South America and Africa. Why is this important? Despite the talent pool being in the billions of people, Messi is the best dribbler, best passer/playmaker and goalscorer over the past 30 years. That's scarcely believable! Whilst other sports stars are great too, they aren't competing against that many others. Messi isn't necessarily considered the goat of football. Maradona and Pele are also in that conversation. Aside from them you also have Cristiano Ronaldo, Zidane, Di Stefano, Puskas, Ronaldo (brazil) and dozens more that are absolutely brilliant and considered by some to be the greatest ever. Since 1990, I'd say Messi is the greatest sportsmen across all sports simply because of the added competition. Obviously, there are arguments to be made for others; Tiger Woods, LeBron, Michael Jordan, Brady, Djokovic and Federer etc but Messi tops them for me. He's made me laugh out loud in amazement countless times. There's barely a match that he plays where he doesn't do something most players would not be able to do. Made the extraordinary seem completely ordinary... P.s. Haaland is nowhere near that level. He's very good but he's an out and out goalscorer. Very important player to have and will score truck loads of goals but he doesn't bring a magical joy that those named above do.

Another good video is The Story: Lionel Messi Fight for Glory. Messi is not only a great athlete because of what he can do with the ball but his competitiveness and perseverance.

That goal that you almost missed in the 5:00 was vs the historical rival team, in a champion semi final, one of the strongest teams, the teammate gives him the ball and the rest of the team do nothing, just watched, Messi dribbles through the whole defense and scored, that is INSANE. You do that as professional football player vs amateurs.

Football is the best game in the World....Messi is the God of football.

A good argument for why you could or should consider him one of, if not the best athlete of all time, is because he's competing in the most competitive sport in the world, and he's the best there is and possibly ever will be. Considering other sports such as basket ball, handball, american football and so on would have their top athletes be 1 in a million, or perhaps one in 10 or maybe even a 100 million, whereas Messi has to be considered 1 in a billion+, it's hard to argue that he shouldn't be the best. Unless your definition of the best athlete is whoever is most efficient across all sports on average, I find it hard to dispute Messi being number 1.

Messi is an alien you will never see another messi the way he dribble the ball.ronaldo look like a kid when they play together.he is so humble and down to earth perso he even turn down 1.6billion US dollars in 3years!!!

Just remember messi is 36 most players have retired by then so he’s not gonna be anywhere his prime, which was around 2011 2012ish

And he’s still putting in work

One funny fact about messi his left leg got insured for 900mil😂 I think of u r the goat and have dominated the number one most played sport in the world for 18 years ur the goat athlete more people play it it’s harder to become the top of and almost impossible to stay top for that long. The one thing I don’t get as I’ve seen a few Americans talk about this even espn is the Messi and ronaldo sometimes get a mention but the rest of the number one shouts as the goat at all American, don’t get me wrong yous have some great athletes and are a big country but it’s almost impossible for 9/10 of the contenders for the goat to come from one country n I think that comes down to Americans not all but a lot being so patriotic. Anyway glad u r realising just how good messi is should look into his idol maradona his life is crazy

American sports are definitely the center of America. We (as a nation) care verrrrry little about other countries and the sports that exist there until it’s World Cup and Olympics time. I’m hoping I can play a small part in changing that mindset!

Messi's greatest feat is being such an absolute monster on the pitch that he can NEVER humiliate someone. No matter how ridiculous what he does to you is, it will never be something you should be mocked for, because it doesn't matter who it is, Messi could do it to anyone. Prime Messi made even other GOAT candidates look bad by comparison, and even in the twilight of his career as he starts the slow descent towards retirement, he's still an absolute monster that's terrifying to go up against for anyone, just from sheer awareness, knowledge and skill, even if he no longer has the speed he once had. Also the reason why he's arguably the greatest athlete is the sheer insane amount of competition there is in football soccer. Billions of people have tried their foot at the game, and not one of them has been better than Messi at it.

the world has not somebody like Messi before and will never see after he retires from football

Messi at 35 is compared to the current best in Haaland and Mbappe who are in their prime. Messi is still the best in the world at 35 but in his prime he was untouchable nobody even came close.

Messi is the Goat 🐐 he just is! I have been watching him since I was a kid and he is just so talented! He has everything calculated in his mind. You think he is lost sometimes but really he is planning everything out and than out of nowhere he comes at you with everything when you least expect. ❤just crazy good 😊

messi is the best argentian person we have... more like person than be the best ever player... its our proud... enjoy him there like argentina i am ... iam happy to messi goes to usa and it s going to explote de mls... thanks and my regards my friend from buenos aires...

Thanks for the video man

American should know that there's world outside america too....Messi and Ronaldo are two of the greatest athlele of all times...You can't rank them below top 2....Messi and Ronaldo are top 2 greatest athlete for me without any doubt and football is the greatest sport

Google presented me this. It's the first video from you I've watched. I realize it's a month old and your view may have evolved. I've been watching Messi play avidly since he played for Argentina in the under 20 World Cup. This video is may be called highlights but it's the kind of performance one expects from Messi on a regular basis. You may now see he is revolutionizing MLS. I think it's a great last gig for Messi. He doesn't seem like the kind of person who will slack off because it's the MLS.

Wow Messi! The best forever! ❤

please do a video on his debut goal for miami. this man creates fairytale moment anywhere he's at. amazing.

He's older now... that means he's work rate has reduced No pressure on him in MLS please 😃

@@KishanKumar-gi1yc premier league bla blah 😂 Messi 🐐 has destroyed English club several times in UCL. What is the difference? Is the hat tricks against man city and Chelsea and others. Check Messi 🐐 vs English/premier league club and then me you think he couldn't play there if he wanted. So if all this unknown players can succeed in premier league, is it the GOAT Messi can't succeed. Messi 🐐 initial ambition is to for Barcelona till retirement but things changed. Ronaldo is greatest striker but Messi 🐐 is the greatest player,full option. A scorer,assister , incredible pace, chances creator, destroying defenders 🧐,free kicks 👀, most outside the box goals not tap in🥱 most completed player both individual awards and trophies 🤫 I don't even know where to start or stop.I don't need to tell you what you already know. Messi 🐐 is phenomenal 💯❣️

That footwork you were talking about is called La Croqueta, very easy to do but also extremely hard at the same time if that makes sense, the player most well known for it is a player called Iniesta, who played at Barca with Messi (Maybe a player called Cazorla as well could do it masterfully), I'm sure there has to be a video of Iniesta doing La Croqueta, check it out 👍

Iniesta learned it from Michael Laudrup, one ofe the best and more elegant playmakers ever, awesome dribbler and passer, truly special player, check it: kzread.info/dash/bejne/nqelz5WRna2XlJc.html

Messi is top 3 historical best players in the world. For a lot of persons the best: top1

You have to know a little of his story. Most of those footwork skills, dribbles, and whatnot, he already did at age 5. He's a natural. Obviously, he's honed them since then. But these highlights don't even focus on the thing that really makes him the greatest--football IQ. Messi has peripheral vision. When he's walking around, apparently disengaged from the game, he's actually x-raying the entire pitch, identifying positions and cracks in the rival's defenses. When he gets a pass, he already knows what he's going to do with the ball because he's figured out beforehand what's the best course of play, who is in the best position to receive it, or whether he should just play it himself. Obviously, he can no longer make those electrifying runs he used to 10 years ago, but he makes up for it more than adequately with his exquisite playmaking. There will never be another Lionel Messi.

Bro you know lol nah but I like your reaction man. Leo’s truly on a different grid from everyone

The other guy with the same type of score is Diego Maradona, goal against England. Someone who you absolutely should check out. He is the Messi was always compared to. The reason why Messi doesn't look that "athletic" is because when he was a child he had a deseased related to the growth hormone. He had to get treatments done for years, His family had to fly out from Argentina to Spain several times to do the treatment which was super pexpensive. He was able to get better but because it was a growth hormone his overall body looks slightly odd. The part of the body most affected? His legs.... if you look he's got very short legs, all which makes his speed and his insane control even more incredible! Greetings from Argentina! Glad your enjoying the magic from our champion!

What sets Messi apart is when you realize after watching a dribbling video like this that he also has the most assists in history and the most playmaker awards.. No player has ever been the top playmaker and goal scorer simultaneously other than messi

messi and Ronaldo these two are top dawgs for over 2 decades you can't compare them to any other players

Every time i see a wide receiver dropping a easy pass, i remember this 4:30. Messi was able to catch that long pass with his thig, while running and being approached by a defender!

Thanks man!

Messi is the GOAT off Football, only Maradona and Pelé are closer to him

Not just highlights. Watch full matches. Watch crunch games. Watch pressure games. Watch what he does when down and when things are not going well. Watch what he does against goo player and top teams. That is what makes him one of the greatest ever.

One thing about messis dribbling is he doesn't showboat with just 2-3 touches he's already past 3-4 defenders and his body feint is out of this world

i highly recommend you to look for any vid about Messi's scanning skills, it is absolutely INSANE edit you should also watch his unique movement in the field, messi is incredible even without the ball in his feet

keep doing these videos!

He maintains 20 years at the highest level of competition. He won everything in Europe. MLS is at the gate of a definitely big break on their football. He is the Goat 🐐. The discussion is over about it

If they're playing checkers, Messi is playing 3D chess ... possibly while reading a book at the same time 😄

Annnnnnnd doing his taxes

MESSI is a god of football/soccer! He shows the beauty of it!

Messi has the power of foresight that's why he's called an Alien

You’re absolutely right about the athleticism. I guess you could include balance and agility in athleticism, but if we are talking about traditional athletic prowess, he is non-existent. And that’s exactly the point that makes him the greatest to ever play the game. He’s been able to humiliate the best defenders in the world, and run through entire teams, while usually being the smallest player on the pitch. He can’t rely on outmuscling people, outjumping them, outsprinting them. A genius, a magician, an alien.

messi also emphasized that he had achieved everything that had to be achieved as a footballer, winning the World Cup title was the closing. Lionel Messi: I've Achieved Everything "I've achieved the most important goal that I wanted, which is to win the World Cup with my team. It's amazing how everything can happen," Messi said in Sport. "I've never prioritized individual titles, and achieving goals with Argentina and with the club I've strengthened has led to an extraordinary career," he added. which means he has no ambitions to win any awards anymore after winning the world cup he just wants to enjoy football at the end of his career. that's why maybe he chose inter miami. He still has a big chance to win his 8th Ballon d'Or award but even he says it doesn't matter anymore. if messi still has the ambition to win a few more awards maybe he will still choose to play in clubs & european leagues. during an interview with md & sport. messi said "I received bids from other European clubs… but I didn't even considered those proposals because my only idea was to join Barcelona in Europe" sumber: fabrizio romano, mundo deportivo, sport The offers Messi had from Europe other than Barcelona was from Newcastle United and Inter Milan. Source: La Porteria Messi also chose inter miami not because of money problems. And one more thing, messi also doesn't give false hope to barcelona, ​​but on the contrary. . “I really wanted to return to Barça, I had that dream. But after what happened two years ago, I did not want to be in the same situation again, leaving my future in the hands of someone else... I wanted to take my own decision, thinking of me and my family". . “I heard reports of La Liga giving the green light but the truth is that many, many things were still missing in order to make my return to Barça happen. I didn't want to be responsible for them to sell players or reduce salaries. I was tired". . “Money, never been an issue with me. We didn't even discuss the contract with Barcelona! They sent me a proposal but was never an official, written and signed proposal. We never negotiated my salary. It wasn't about money or I was going to join Saudi". . “I'm sure that there's people into the club that does NOT want me to return to Barça - considering that as negative impact for the club". . . “I received bids from other European clubs… but I didn't even considered those proposals because my only idea was to join Barcelona in Europe”. . “I'd love to be close to Barcelona in the future, for sure. I will live in Barcelona again with my family, it's already decided - I hope to help the club one day, because it's the club I love”. . Source: fabrizio romano, mundo deportivo, sport yes indeed the offer from miami is not cheap. they offered a salary of around €50m and percentage of money from apple tv's mls season pass subscription, percentage of money from inter miami shirt sales and the possibility of acquiring an mls franchise at the end of his career but i believe it was not as big as the offer made by al hilal. As far as i know the last offer made by al hilal to messi before he decided to go to inter miami was €1.5b per two seasons. If messi accepts the offer. After 2 seasons, Messi will become the richest athlete in the world. But he prefers inter miani. He said because he was thinking about his family. Maybe his wife would prefer to move to inter miami.

Bro I have been football fan since a child, and there players like Messi, Ronaldo Nazario and Ronaldinho that in my opinion were simply different, gifted, talented as nobody else. Also, that footwork cannot be trained, you got to be born with that

Thank you!

A big reason why futbol is a global sport is because all body types can do well. Whether it's a 5'6" dribbler with low center of gravity or a 6'4" defender with a big frame. There's many ways to play the game tactically and strategically. A lot of Americans make the mistake thinking that the bigger/taller player is a better athlete but when the sport is played with the ball at your feet none of that matters if you can't touch the ball. As the biggest sport on the planet, there's a larger pool of players and every pro at the top level is a freak. Then you have players like Messi that were made for this.

I’m only 15 seconds: “arguably the best” bro no arguably it’s done it’s over he’s the best

No one even comes close to Messis level. If you love football you will enjoy those documentaries and movies.
