I'll even go as far as to say Messi is still underrated. The only people who truly know how good Messi actually was, were the ones watching him week in week out since the beginning. Messi gave more in 90 minutes than most players give you in half a season. It was just relentless the way he was performing. Most of his genius is NOT even in compilations. You can go back to any game Messi ever played and just watch the way he ran games. Until PSG's 1st season he maybe had 10 "bad games in his whole career (for his doing) and even then he'll give you some moments in games that makes it all worth it. He was 90 minutes of magic, 3x per week, every season for 17+ years from day 1. A calm beast. Easily the greatest ever. The difference in quality is unfair on all others who ever kicked a ball.

Seeing Guardiola love Leo is understandable. They were a crucial part of the Greatest Side to Ever Play Football (Barcelona 2010) and Pep was there to watch him everyday. But when you have Alex Ferguson, Jose Mourinho, Zinedin Zidane, Arsene Wenger, Carlo Ancelotti, Fabio Capello, Jurgen Klopp and almost ⅘ of all footballing legends be it coaches/managers or players loving Leo, the question or debate becomes ridiculous. If you love football for what it is and you can be unbiased, you will love Messi. He's just light-years ahead of everyone else whilst playing honest football. No dives, no acting, no nonsense. Just simple football but on a level only he can do. Enjoy him and be glad he existed in an era where every match is documented via video. Because one day he will retire and fortunately we can still watch it all. Because knowing how he is as a person, he won't be hanging around seeking for attention once he hangs his boots.

Pep Guardiola understands football more than anyone else and he has complete ownership in having his opinion regarding Messi because he saw what he did every game, Pep, like everyone else, is a fan of good football, you don't need to be a Messi fan to admit that he is the best and greatest of all time.

Messi set the level so high...that in the future....these players who will win awards or Ballon dors....to me it will be like, thats all they did?? All average...nothing spectacular. It's crazy how Messi came and just dismantled, defenders, goalies. But his passes, his free kicks, his goals...not just tap ins...but his dribbling....Just Insane.

Pep has huge respect for great players, and he also knows whatever plan he comes up with as a coach, it takes greats players to make it happen the way he wants it

The best manager ever speaking about the best footballer ever

I can say two things about Messi: 1. You can get close to him during the game but the ball stays always closer to him than the defenders or any one else. 2. He is a phenomenon, why? During the course of human civilization there have been few people who do not have seconds like Albert Einstein, Bach, Bethoven, Davinci and alike. Messi is just another. There will never be another. This man has had a very special love for the ball and the ball loves him only, they are not separable. That’s it.

Last ballon D or Messi 33 goals + 30 assists= 63 goals contributions. Haaland 56 goals + 8 assists= 64 goal contributions. But people say Haaland had an Incredible season than Messi,when they had similar stats,With Messi even offering more to his Teak than Haaland. Both won a continental Trophy in World Cup for Messi and Ucl for Haaland Both won their local league with Ligue 1 for Messi and Premier League for Haaland Both won domestic cup with french ligue cupfor Messi,and FA cup for Haaland. Messi was 3 asssist shy of record assist in Ligue one. Messi was the best player in group stages for UCL before world cup. Haaaland didn't score in any semis,Finals for FA cup or UCL. Messi scored in every round of the world cup with great assists too in Croatia and Netherlands. Messi won best player in world cup too,and a goal shy of topscorer. But It was rigged😂. Messi's worst,is anyone's favorite.

One of the gift I am happy God gave me is the privilege to watch Messi play, so glad to witness this Messi era,if I was told a player was this great I wouldn't believe, but witnessing him is really a blessing, guardiola truly understands Messi better than anyone else, even on his bad day he's better than everyone else

I consider Messi to be among the greatest artists in history up there with Dostoyevsky, Mozart, Shakespeare, Michelangelo, Dante, etc. For me he is an artist.

14 just like the number of trophies Messi won under Pep.

I have been obsessed with Messi for 19 years straight 😂

Un genio que será muy difícil de superar en las generaciones venideras. Además, ha impulsado a todo el fútbol mundial a otro nivel, dando cátedra de nuevas técnicas, movimientos, ya que es un juego similar al ajedrez.

Pues es muy parecido. Los grandes maestros del ajedrez son buenos en memorizar y reconocer patrones para poder anticiparse o elegir el mejor movimiento. Lo mismo pasa con Messi, cómo dijo Guardiola el mira a todos lados y ha grabado el campo, los jugadores y el balón en su cabeza y sabe cuál es la mejor opción a tomar para convertir la jugada en un gol, ese proceso de grabar la imagen del campo y los jugadores en su cabeza, le ayuda a tener un patrón, y el conoce de sobra los posibles patrones, como un jugador de ajedrez, y sabe como obtener la mejor jugada.

Pep is full of it. Per his book, He never trusted Messi because he was part of Franks regime, and was very slow to agree to the team rules that saw the likes of Yaya departing. He explained to Xavi, Ini, Busq, and others that Leo didnt care about Barcelona and Catalonia because he was loyal to his culture, so they had to be more rigid and disciplined while allowing Leo to be himself….
