I remember this game ,i am a chelsea supporter ,this was the first time i watched messi ,he was phenomenal ,up against one of the toughest defense in the world and he was dribbling past them and making chances like its nothing which made him the best player on the pitch throughout the game ,i was so in awe of his gameplay that i didnt even felt sad when we lost ,i felt sad when he got injured in the 2nd leg ,i became a massive leo messi fan since then ,he won so many awards afterwards ,i chose the right guy after all ❤

Chelsea were the only team in Europe at that time who could compete with Barcelona and Messi. in a way Chelsea were Barca's bogey team around that time. sure their style wasn't pretty to watch sometimes, especially against a technical team like Barca. but they were effective and tactical and a did what they could to try and contain them. i was just as impressed with Chelsea's hard work and athleticism as i was with Messi's skill and Barca's style to be honest.

That's the same thing with Messi and Cristiano.

For those who don't know football at that time, Chelsea had one of the toughest defenses in the world (Terry and Caravalho and Makalele in front of them). On top of that, they were such a top physical team and Mourinho is their coach (who was considered number 1 coach at that time) and he is known of his physical tactics. However, Messi just showed to the world what a genius, determined, effective, and dribbler he is! At that time, I told my brother (who loves Argentina) that Maradona is still playing!

the only reason the ref can say the Terry incident was not a penalty is because Terry was looking at the ball hung in the air the whole time. so maybe you can say it's just a collision between terry and Messi both trying to get a better position than the other for the ball about to drop. but I see a good case for a pen also. but as a defender I know what Terry was thinking, he was just looking at the ball the whole time so it's not really a foul, it's just a collision

Tevez wasn’t just a a run of the mill footballer, as you’re classifying him here. He was 22 and was an upcoming star who had won everything there was to win in South America. Won’t even list team accomplishments, but individually he won every award possible by 21: South American Footballer of the Year: 2003, 2004, 2005 South American Team of the Year: 2003, 2004, 2005 Copa Libertadores MVP Award: 2003 Player of the Year of Argentina: 2003, 2004 Summer Olympics Golden Boot: 2004 Campeonato Brasileiro Série A Best Player: 2005 Campeonato Brasileiro Série A Team of the Year: 2005 The fact that you’re classifying Tevez with Saviola and Cruz is disrespectful in itself. Also.. Just an FYI, Tevez also came off the bench for the majority of the 2006 WC. It’s not hard to look up lineups and stats from that WC. Blame perkerman for Argentina’s shortcomings that WC, but him substituting Riquelme + Abbondanzieris injury vs germany is the main reason they lost. Messi was also coming off a season ending injury, to rush a 19 year old into a huge match like that would be stupid. Seriously can’t stand people so uninformed about what actually happened at the time and try to blame everyone else for Messi not shining in certain eras (and this isn’t a knock on Messi, as he was literally a teenager). But more of you as being bias and pining blame without actually being informed. Research a little.

Such hate. This is tribalism at its worst. When a prime Ronaldinho outplayed Real Madrid outstandingly, he got a standing ovation at the Bernabéu. When an 18-year old (!!) Messi outplays Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, he got wrestled by the players and jeered by the crowd. So sad...

I watched this match as a chelsea fan in 2005, but I was amazed that arjen roben could not stop him. That was first time I know his name and became his fan..

Penalty on Messi 7:34. BUT ALL remember UEFALona. Madrid controls the narrative and barca gets the stick. Look up Plaza referee, look up who Bernabeu is, look up who created the European Cup and how the "draws" where made.

Es penal clarisimo no queda duda que Messi gano la posicion y Terry lo atropella.

Recuerdo que este partido lo catapulto al estrellato mundial, aunque ya se venia hablando mucho de el incluso antes, pero bailar de esa forma al chelsea fue algo apabullante.

man I used to love that Barca away kit

This is first game I watched messi. And I was like..... What the talent.

Some prophetic comments in commentary about his future

The commentater says Messis 'antics'for the sending off of the Chelsea player.The Chelsea player DESERVED to be sent off!!!He and other Chelsea defenders tried their best to hack down Messi because of his skill on the Ball.They were so pissed off at the way Messi outplayed them and they acted like THUGS.

"[Lionel Messi]'s buyout clause in his contract: £101,000,000" .... as an 18 year old.. that's insane

Its funny seeing the state of the pitch for this game. Allegedly, Mourinho had them over-water the turf and in some areas the grass was removed to keep Barcelona from being able to pass and dribble comfortably.

This chelsea team was about to win back to back PL titles, yet Messi made our defence look ordinary

How did UEFA had the audacity to say that messi has only 3 UCLS after messi played and was registered in 2006 champions league?

At bearly 18 he was already among the top 3 players some already saying he was the best player in the world at the time and this is why nobody can play like this.

Someone from the future is gonna work really2 hard to beat Messi's record. His goals His assists His awards His dribbles 😂 not sure if anyone can do it. Good luck for anyone who try to do it

Quien diría que esa joven promesa de 18 años sería campeón del mundo 16 años después

Was this the day he truly announced himself to the world of football

Stamford Bridge didn't know they were booing the best player in history (after the World Cup there is no question about it).

Joven, explosivo, atrevido, lleno de energía, inexperto, con mucha zancada... le quedaba un mundo entero por comerse pero ya se veía que estaba destinado a ser el mejor jugador del mundo.

"I get the feeling that when he learns this game a bit more he'll be unplayable at times" Understatement of the century. Funny seeing him so young that Andy Gray spends half the game not even able to pronounce his name right, and now you'd be hard pressed to find somebody who doesn't know his name.

This is the first live match I watched him 🥰

I'm a 2007 Chelsea Fan, and its crazy he was already getting abused when he was only 19.
