    Brazilians never loved Messi when he arrived on the scene obviously because his Argentine but when you saw how much Ronaldinho loved him and nurtured him and then Messi and Neymar are like older and younger brothers and Messi nurtured Neymar at Barcelona, I’ve never seen so many Brazilians wanting Argentina to win the World Cup and that is because Messi is unmistakably brilliant of course but he’s just a really chilled gentle human being. He’s humble, he’s thoughtful and never let his ego get in the way of his genius. That is someone who has transcended a sport that your most fiercest rivals have warmth for you.❤

    As an Argentinian I used to hate Brazil. Not the country, but their national team. Thanks to Messi’s relationship with Ronaldinho and subsequently with Neymar, they taught me that it’s ok to be rivals, but there’s no need to be enemies. Brazil has had the most amazing footballers, even tho Maradona, Di Stefano, Messi are from Argentina, there’s no denying Brazilian football has been the dominant football historically and that’s ok. Messi, being humble, has taught many of us that it’s ok to have respect for your biggest rival. It’s a sport, we are passionate about it, but it’s a sport.

    I actually enjoying seeing videos of Messi's youths just as much, if not more, than his professional days' videos. We normally see geniuses or once-in-a-generation talent when they get to professional age but rarely do we get to see those people when they're young so these videos are priceless. It's also amusing to see young boys or girls doing things that make our jaws drop ... to the floor, as Fabregas said.

    Define complete? Does this include defending? Scoring from 40-50 yards out? Headers? Bicycles kicks? I think saying he is the most complete and best ever player is an insult to all the other legendary players. Messi is so damn good but I wouldn’t say he is complete. No right foot. Can barely header. Can’t score from long distances. Never seen him show his skills like step overs, focus pocus, cruyff turn etc. I think he is a master with football IQ, intelligence, passing, free kicks, dribbling, scoring, touch, technique.

    La Liga defenders used to *try* to kick him so hard, it would be a strong risk of a red card offence, but usually they would be unsuccessful at even doing that. This is why it always used to make me laugh that Maradona debate about how tough it used to be in the 80s- sure it was tougher in the 80s, but you really think that would stop Messi? LOL. They have to catch him to even kick him first, and when they do he has never lost his temper once that I can remember. He has the best/coolest mentality of any footballer on the planet, even though he's been the most targeted. It would be the same in the 80s- there would be more challenges, but his personality clearly shows he'd be the last footballer in any environment to be affected.

    The biggest difference you see with 95% of players is that with age and experience their playstyle changes a lot depending on the team and league etc but Leo when he was 14-15 in those clips and now at 35 play almost identical and people still can’t stop him. Ofc he is slower now so can’t outrun defenders like the old days but he’s able to use his deadly passing to help others more. This is the definition of just unreal god given pure talent where he hasn’t really adapted his game at all, it’s the exact same and just altered it now due to physical limitations. That’s my GOAT 🐐

    He’s adapted his play - another facet of his brilliance. He’s more measured now. And his natural humility allows him to bring his play-making skills to the forefront. Messi works for his team so he’s happy to help create goals, he doesn’t have to score them. For me, this is one of things that make him exceptional. He elevates his team mates. Despite his brilliance Messi doesn’t allow his ego to get in the way of the game.

It was a game he lost, a game he didn't score in and a game he only played in for one half. I had never seen the kid before, I had never heard about him, nothing. All I saw was him dribbling all over the field fooling his opponents nonstop. He dribbled past them like they were a bunch of retards. I've never seen anything like it and I've never seen any other kid doing similar things either, I had seen enough of him within 10 minits to know this kid would become the best player in the world with quite a significant distance to anyone else.

    As Madrid fan, I acknowledge how good Messi is since 2007 or 2007 (when Barca won UCL), when Messi still under the shadow of Ronaldinho (Ballon d'Or winner that time). But I saw that young man was keep brightening season by season, until Ronaldinho said his famous statement "This kid will be the greatest player in the world" And by mean "the greatest", I'd never thought Messi will achieved this far and became the greatest of all time What a remarkable experience living during Messi's era

    I live in Barcelona and happy to say I went to see him play a few times and pretty much saw most matches during that period because I worked in a sports bar. Phenomenal talent. To be at that level of quality, way above everyone in a team of excellent players and week in week out do the business on the pitch. Amazing.

It’s a damn shame that they’ve aged. I don’t think I’ll want to watch football once they retire…

So to say that being a starter for a very long time in one of top 5 teams is a comfort zone is insane. But thats cr7 fans. They are slaves not fans. They will twist logic and reality to validate their goat. To please their master Messi doesnt even need record to be better. The eye test alone shows who is the better player

I can't record global legends like, Ronaldo R9, ronaldinho, Zidane, figo, rivaldo, Raul, maradona testing themselves in the epl. What I have seen is, top prem players are prepared to take a pay cut to join real Madrid or Barcelona to achieve greatness!!I'm an arsenal fan...I've seen all our top players leave for Barcelona!petit,overmars,fabregras,Henry!

When they first saw Jimi Hendrix play the guitar live.
