- In 2005, during the Joan Gamper Trophy, a teenage Lionel Messi terrorized Juventus' defense and midfield, leaving the seasoned Italian side scrambling to contain him. Messi's dazzling dribbles and fearless play forced Juventus to resort to physical tackles, as they struggled to cope with his extraordinary talent. Fabio Capello, Juventus' manager at the time, was left mesmerized by the prodigious skill on display.
So impressed was Capello that he immediately approached Barcelona's manager, Frank Rijkaard, in an attempt to secure Messi on loan. However, Rijkaard, recognizing Messi's immense value, firmly declined. As Capello later remarked, "I wanted to sign Messi 25 minutes after I first saw him." This match foreshadowed the greatness that Messi would achieve, leaving an indelible impression on all who witnessed it.

Standing ovation as a 18 year old.
Insane, also the way Capello talks about him.
"Aura"
Yamal got one at 16
I got mine at 14
That's when the new era started 😊
As a Juve fan for over 30 yrs, I remember this game like yesterday. Just FYI, this Juve team were stacked with players like: Buffon, Del Pieoro, Zlatan, Viera, Zambrotta, Camoranesi, Nedved, Thuram, Cannavaor etc. This to me, was one of the top teams I've seen as a Juve fan, before that whole calciopoli mess. But nagh, this game, I knew something was strange. It was not Ronaldinho, In which I waiting to see that magic of his, it was Messi. Something about that guy was just irritating me, I was like, how in the hell are we getting punked by this little man. I was expecting Ronaldinho, but nagh Messi was different. I am glad my team was part of this great story.
As a Messi fan from India thank you for that ....
Great compliments
Yamal is great for a teenager, but we never saw anything like Messi at 18
C'mon. Ronaldo was equally mesmerizing. And Maradona was better than both of them. Maradona's control of the ball was truly without equal. Messi simply had speed.
@@showwhite7320 are you for real not even Ronald at his peak of his career was that great on his ball control and passing not to mention the dribble
Marodona was great but neither was he Messi's level at that age
@@TM-rq5qw Do you know that Maradona was performing at halftime during professional games when he was a little kid? He would show his juggling skills in front of thousands. There are videos of him dominating international matches when he was a teenager.
Maradona's passing was better than anyone else back then, but I do think his passing is pretty terrible for today's standards. That's because, today, they start doing rigorous training when they are little kids. Back then, players took too many risks with their passing. Passing today is much more conservatives and it's about retaining possession unless you're absolutely sure you're going to score. Passing through multiple defenders is something you see every match. Back then, it was rare.
I don't like Maradona as a person. I think he's a shady sc*mbag, but you can't deny that his dribbling was on another level. Messis' technical dribbling isn't even that good. There are a lot of players that are better technically. Messi just has insane acceleration due to shorter legs. Nobody can keep up with him when he cuts back. Maradona had both acceleration and an amazing touch.
If Maradona was playing today, I think he would do much better than Messi. It wouldn't be close.
@@TM-rq5qw No, you've been blinded by your idolatry. Even Ronaldo's touch was better than Messi. Just watch how they trap the ball. Both Ronaldo and Maradona can bring a high ball softly to their feet. When Messi does it, the ball still bounces. Watch clips and you'll see what I mean.
This video makes me literally cry, 20 years of happines this guy has given to the world and knowing that it is probably coming to a beautiful end in the next 1-2 years.
PS, he just won his second Copa America.
Thanks God he had no big injuries 👏🏾
I feel it brooo😢
Sad the Messi era is coming to an end soon like the blink of an eye
Crying for a soccer player? Are you stupid?
Nearly 20 years and 45 major trophies later he has become the best and most successful player of all time.
No Yamal, no Vini Jr, no Mbappe, absolutely no one could be as good as Messi was at 17-18 yrs. Today's younger lot don't know about Messi of his teenage years when they start comparing today's wonderkids with him. Messi was one of a kind, can't be cloned, and can't be reproduced again. Truly a gift from God in terms of football and only God can produce another talent of Messi's level, nobody else can.
Messi did that. Messi put the work in. God had nothing to do with it. He was meant to do this but without that work ethic this would not have happened
@@Reladan187 el talento se perfecciona con trabajo pero es algo con lo que naces.
Unbelievable talent
Brazil Ronaldo at the 18 was crazy talented check him out
@@Reladan187 i know you don't believe in God. But even Messi believe he is gifted from God.
The messi chants at such a young age
This was actually the first game that the chant was heard!!
Soccer History Surely
that's why he's the GOAT. THE GOAAT!
@@TheBorderJumper17 football*
Boy NA education never fails to disappoint.
@@sroth2021i can hear it
I watched Messi since he was 16...played the U17 with Dimaria, Aguero....Man He was just being Messi...and to this day he still is the same Alien.
Wow! That is really great
They won the tounament right?
@@sape1315 Yes
It has been a pleasure growing up seeing Messi develop his career from a young phenom to a legend.
Messi is always a joy to watch , he makes this beautiful game even more beautiful to watch 🐐
I miss the days when he used to run like the wind. His opponents couldn't understand what was happening.
@@SombreroFlicks damn bro iam 19 yr old so i didn't got a chance to watch 😢 , but i had seen all his matches 2007-2021 all matches on youtube , back then whenever he starts running he just beat all the defenders most of the time because of his speed
@@shashwatmali3640 This game gave us all a glimpse of how Messi was about to redefine football for an entire generation.
You are such a stupid little kid !
He was a joy to watch at PSG😒
Bro even with his young age, he played like mature professional. Calm, composed and knew when to challenge a guy. He’s really a different beast
What a lucky those 85000 people in the stadium saw the goat being born.
Even their name can scare a young ones.. Viera, Nedved, Chiellini etc. Nowadays some names compare with Messi make me just smile..Messi is unmatched
This is 2024 but it might take another century to see someone play football like Messi... There will be players like Yamal who might rule the football in their era and i am happy good wishes for them but Messi is all rounder in the field of football except for not being a goal keeper and main defender. The likes of CR7 and Mbabpe Or Halland are masters of their position but Messi rules in half of the field whenever he plays... Not every player will have that gift. Some might have 2 or 3 ability but Messi will always be above them as dribbler, playmaker, free kick maestro, assister, scorer and above all consistency and humility of the Great Sportsman.
There’s only one Messi …
I see a decent amount of messi in Yamal but the young messi was a different breed. We have seen a lot of talented youngsters but someone like Messi are hard to come by
Exactly... Multi-talents ans stats alone is not enough to reach up to Messi's standard, consistency, longevity and right attitude in and off the field will have to be maintained throughout one's career.. That would be a challenge for many players
@@harshpatel9606 the main thing is his personality. It seems that he doesnt give much of a fk about anything BUT football. He was never much into fame, grandeur display of opulence, or any sort of antics of the biggest stars. He is just a guy who really, i mean REALLY loves football and has the absolute talent for it. The closest thing ive seen in terms of attitude i think is Halaand, it's the only player i've seen keep his cool head at all times.
We will never see anyone like him😢, i bet he will always remain as the best ever played this sport.
Zidane said it best messi is like 4-5 seconds ahead of the rest he sees everything
And zidane himself is about 1 second ahead.
@@kahchingng3857zizous touch was… guess it’s in that Algerian blood.
He said 3
But even then he just being nice
You all just …
@@badsolja1 I don't see Zidane saying that Cristiano was 3 seconds ahead of the others. You all just...
Except when he is in Anfield.
The scariest part is not that he played this good at 18, many people have had that at such a tender age. It's that he played like this from the moment he touched a ball the first time... Now that we have footage of him from 5 years old onwards, not much has changed in his play style, he was always the smallest kid, he always had the best ball control, he had a resilience unlike anybody and was blessed with precision out of this world.
A true natural of the game, you can't teach this, that's why it's close to impossible to attain his level. In many ways he became an inspiration to so many but that's so deceiving because one can simply not learn the things he has done on the pitch, you have to be born for it. This is why it's so unbeliavably fortuitous formthis generation that Cristiano Ronaldo went toe to toe with him because he is much more of a trained product of the game and has shown that you can get close to this, even if you can't reach it.
I'm certainly counting myself blessed to have had the opportunity to watch him throughout his career, chances are I won't see another one in my lifetime. Muchos gracias Leo❤
There's a young Asian girl on tiktok who plays exactly like that. How I wish it were a boy
@@seetsamolapo5600 I hope you mean "she" and not "it". What's her name?
Cri Ro went toe to toe with him only thanks to media. Who knows football never even compared really good scoring machine (CR7) with extremely talanted alien who could do everything on the pitch, and no one can even come close to his understanding of a football and his dribbling which based on natural instincts and high ball control
@@seetsamolapo5600 who? give me name
@@garri5108 I am Messi's fan but I think that CR7 is the one that closest to him (still far but closest).
He is timeless
and tameless
People forget back then there was something called a football hierarchy. Fully grown players that faced youngsters didn't go easy on them. They were meant to show them why they are still a kid and why they are the main guys by clattering into them if needed. He was toying with the most ruthless of players.
Wdym? They now go easy on them?
What you talking about?
Professional yapper
You said the truth. He really toyed with them. Ronaldo is no match.
@@velovis04always read to comprehend.
Now they know everything about messi still can't stop him now imagine playing against him not knowing anything about him
2007 - 2012 Messi was a force of nature. Stopping him required a tactical masterclass plus the hope that he would be having a bad day.
@@SombreroFlicksafter 2012 he was still the Best, forget about the stats, how he played
Messi later on in Barcelona had much better control on the ball and vision in the game. I'm surprised how well he developed compared to the raw talent we see in this video.
@@Carlito54541__ And he kept changing his play style every 2 or 3 years that's why he stayed at top level for many years and it's not easy to do
@@Carlito54541__ He was already superior in touch, skill and quickness in this game against some of the best. Still a little raw, but already better than the others.
Messi 18 Was Beast. Not Sure Why People Start Comparing Young Players With Him. Lets Take Example Of Yamal Or Musiala.They Are Good But Messi Was Insane. Passing,Dribbling,Scoring And Game Awareness Was Another Level. We Wont See Messi Again❤
Both are absolute monsters. as an example Musiala has the most successful dribblings in a World Cup game. At 17/18, this is an absolutely strong performance.
And of course, the comparison with Messi is unfair. If both players achieve only 80% of the performance of Messi, that would be absolutely sensational.
@@Atreusz Those Dribbles Are No Where Near Messi Ones. They Are Talented But Do They Have Eye For Goal,Dribbling Pass And Scoring Goals At Same Time, Vision Of Glorious Through Balls . No. They Wont Even Rach 60% Of Messi Talents. Not To Forget The FK Ability Messi Developed Later On
@@TUTANKHAMUN077 ok lil messi boy
Facts🙌
He was already the best player in the world the moment he started playing in the first team. For pure talent, the only player I’ve seen compare to him in my lifetime was R9(but R9 career isn’t half as good because of injuries, and he didn’t have the discipline of Messi)
Messi! Messi!! Messi!!!
It will take a long while before we witness a talent such as him in football
How extremely sad to see that there are fewer and fewer games left by the player who has made us enjoy football like no other. Thank you Messi ⚽️
😭😭
Now it’s all memories and what kind of memories, Leo! What a delightful journey to watch!
It's been almost 20 years!
You can really see the difference between young messi and his more seasoned stage.He already has the multidimensional point of view but was too rash and impulsive to dribble it to score, as he grew older he learns to contribute and execute based on what is most effective, whether his teammates or whether he should pass or score alone. Plus of course his physique is still underdeveloped, he was only 18 then
It's as Cruyff said, he needed a bit more time to optimize his passing and dribbling decision-making. Once he did, it was game over.
Great observation
Messi's movements are Entertaining, fast, unpredictable & lethal ❤
When messi chews his nails for a warm up, it's dangerous😊
UCL Final 2011 vibes
He has autism😂
😂👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Nothing but respect to Messi.
Messi playing football is most entertaining thing i have ever watch.
GOAT
I don't understand when people start making comparisons between Messi and Mbappe
People are mostly stupid. Once you understand that, you learn to tune them out
If you want compare mbappe. They should compare it with henry in my opinion.
Young Mbappe is performing in world cup and UCL KO stages man
They are fully blind
@@pauliyonas3576young messi won UCL. Mbappe so lucky he has good team in WC, and his best performance is when he was young, but the result and performance decreasing already
I watched Messi in a friendly game. It was Germany vs Argentina in 2012.
I followed Messi since 2005 / U20 World Chmapionship and after that I watched all Barca matches live, re live or the sum ups. So I knew Messi very well and wanted to see his magic in real life and what makes him so special on the pitch. I knew less after the match then before. Because he does things one can't explain. It is really like some magic tricks what he is doing from time to time. There are so many scenes I still have in my mind. I was like in trance when he got the ball and was like how did he manage to do this and that.
His skills are just insane.
young mazy was so exciting to watch, it brought so much joy. It was like watching a puppy playing with a toy and forcing you to try to take his toy away. He was just locked on the ball, on football and playing. He would get foul after foul and just stand up and kept on playing, or sometimes his ability to avoid fouls was just mesmerizing.
When he was just a raw diamond🔥🔥🔥
Perfect analogy! Couldn't be anymore truer!
How insane was that lineup though - Iniesta, Ronaldinho, Puyol and Messi. Some of the finest players of all time.
Feel sorry for the youngest being compared to him. Generational talent.
Capello was among the best coach in that era and have many big name in their squad still wanted messi from rijkaard..at last at 18 yrs of age got a standing ovation from.the crowd...Messi Messi
Juve had the brand power and funds to bring almost any player and Capello wanted a teenage Messi 20 minutes after seeing him for the first time.
So happy to be one of those who got to witness Messi the 1st time he debuted ever since then till now I've been a barca fan.
The GOAT & Magician, good ol time
Beautiful editing, I love the interview cuts from players, it really helps me understand and be a part of the story they are telling and also I have never seen this game before too so you are definitely helping me learn football history. For that I thank you
I appreciate it! Thanks for the feedback!
@@SombreroFlicks what is the name of the documentary ?
@@bristonpypp7380 it's a combination of footage from the game, Fabio Capello interviews and "Messi" (2014).
The only player in history who, being a teenager, can play football like that
Ronaldo?
@@jocanolag-6745. Nah, I wasn’t talking about a human being 🤣
cuando te retires va a ser un dia muy triste pulga te amo
This was suggested to me right after the final match against Colombia in Copa America 2024, which Argentina won. Is it the end of Messi? Will soccer be enjoyable after he retires? With all the talents around the world right now, I do not think we will see a talent of Messi's class, with all respect, of course, to the others.
Se llama football, no existe un deporte llamado soccer. Football. Y el football existio y existira luego de messi. Messi es solo un jugador
This video bring tears to my eyes... I saw this game. Heard at that time a little bit about a wonder kid at La Masia but seeing that game , it was like I watched the God of football. I was sure that that kid would be the best football player in history. Comparing others with him is useless. This is talent , a gift from God. You can not achieve this level even with hard work... I never understood also the comparison with Ronaldo. Ronaldo = hard work = records. Messi was born with that talent. Thankful to be contemporary with him...
Yamal can't replicate same against those Juventus Defenders of then
Messi is from another planet and I doubt if there'll be another player like him
I am a Juventus fan and I will never forget this match.
I was being impressed in front of the television by seeing Messi was dribbling players like Cannavaro and Viera so easily.
Unbelieveble, he was pure magic.
Messi is the goat, without doubt.
Capello openly admitting to knowing nothing about Messi before the start of the game is completely insane.
Dude, it was a friendly game.
Messi was a NOBODY then. there are bigger stars in the team
It's insane thinking Capello would start researching 18-year-old unproven kid for a friendly match to be honest.
That was before messi was a thing
A friendly game capello used to scout for talents and test his players
He basically was scouting and testing messi so he could get him for Juve
Y’all can’t see behind the words it’s funny
he would have locked him if he wanted
Just like inter 2010 and Chealsea 2012 locked him with weaker of a roaster
Than Canvvaro thuram zambrota Emerson and viera
Not at all. He was 18 years old, only 2 years on the team and this is before the internet was used by normies and even then you only knew of him if you were deep into football and barcelona.
Where is Rijkaard now? It might be a good moment to get him back for a 2nd chance! He was the one who started it all!
he hasnt coached anyone since 2016 i believe 😊
He is ou tof football, not interested anymore I believe.
Thank you for your gift of football Messi ❤ i am so happy for the years of magic of the game you have given us. I will miss you more than any other player 😢
As a Juve fan, I still remember this match. Juve fans were expecting that Ronaldinho or Giuly will trouble our defense, we got young Messi instead. People dont even know who he was since he was coming from the youth team
Messi should grow that beard again, he looks like a historic figure
Long hair Messi is peak
Beard+long hair+ magic 👽
in this era messi's pass still messy...but dribbling n penetration, insaaaayyynn
Every match of messi is so fun to watch he is the goat
I wish I could say this performance surprised me, but I had seen the FIFA Youth World Championship the month (or so) prior and knew then and there (based on games between Argentina and Brazil/Colombia) that this kid was really really special.
He is amazing..
Lionel Messi 🐐
July 16, 2024
We will never see magic like this again. Football changing as a whole (preferring 'the system' and players fitting in rather than letting them roam free and building teams around them after).
I'm glad Yamal will give us great moments, I'm also ok knowing full well he will never reach, much less surpassed this kind of magic. Simply the GOAT, forever and always!
Messi, Ronaldinho, Iniesta, ... what a team!
Fantastico messi
1:16 anyone see this move? Almost the exact same move he made against Croatia. Messi-class
i'm just realising more than ever how good Yamal is!
this is what most people fail to comprehend: football is more than just goals, it's the overall contribution you bring to the team. Messi got 3 bookings for Juventus players by himself and an assist, plus caused chaos on Juve defence several times
They are so young at that time
I'm a truly madrid fan but messi is from another universe and he is phenomenal player..... Nd we madridstas always scared when messi was on the pitch against us... He is such a joy to watch and of course greatest of all time... But we also believe on our greatest CR7.
We should respect both for beautifying the game! ❤
2:36 up against a what!?
Up against Zebina.
@@SombreroFlicks it sounds like...nvm..

03:04 wow !?!?
If you want I can help with subtitles. What Capello says at the press conference is wrong in the subtitles. He doesn't say Messi is lethal, what he said is "I have never seen a player with such quality for his age"
Thank you for that, the translation for that part came out as "con letal que tiene" which roughly translated to that.
اه لو يرجع الزمان أجمل الأيام مع أساطير كرة القدم وتاريخ كرة القدم الموهوب ميسي أنا من مواليد 1989 لقد عشنا أجمل السنوات في كرة القدم ميسي لا يتكرر
It's been such an utter joy watching Messi play through the years . Truly the king of Football
The guy is insane talent, the 🐐
موهبة ميسي خارقه للطبيعة عطاء من الله لا تشوبها شائبة
الأفضل على الإطلاق 🐐
Mi capitán carajo 💟
Such a good video to start my morning with
The only time I hated Messi was during the final of U-20 World cup in 2004/5 against Nigeria/Mikel Obi ...Messi literally dominated that match but the awarded penalties pissed me up the most... but boy was Messi that excellent? Yes, he definitely was the kid-goat then who eventually became the real GOAT!
Don't mind me Messi, you know I love you ❤😂❤(in Eminem's voice on White America)
I always shout (lion messi 🗣️) i m now chanting Lionel Messi and always will shout Messi ❤❤❤❤❤❤
probably my fav match of all time. Just something about it.
Now he became 🐐⚽
Messi siendo Messi! Verdaderamente "El Mejor Jugador de la Historia"!!!
Ronaldinho, Messi, Larsson in the same team...Unreal
Yo estuve allí esa noche, yo vi jugar a Messi.
I was there that night, I saw Messi play.
Some of Messi’s success must stem from the fact he has such a low center of gravity.
Mi capitán, i watched u every single day so i could go to sleep well
Forever proud of Messi 🇦🇷♥️
Suddenly the "forever young" played in my mind, i remember watching this on tv expected to see Guily but ended up rooting for this boy. Such a Joy from day 1, Bravo Messi
That pass🔥🔥it's enough..
Thanks for this video. Beautifull.
I appreciate it!
Messi is always incredible and amazing ❤❤❤❤
человек у которого сбылись фантазии о будущем
Messi is the reason i fall in love with this game!❤ Other great players are good to watch nd learn but watching Messi is just matter of joy we can't dare to learn from him!!😂👽
i was there, gossebumps. gallina de piel.
messi is the only football player who gets praises even when he dosent score!
*GOD OF FOOTBALL*
The entire play from 5:26 to 5:36 is VERY similar to what Maradona used to do. Unreal.
La jugada de 5:26 hasta 5:36 es lo mas parecido a lo que hacia Maradona. Increíble.
Forget about Messi's greatness, I have never heard boring commentary like this one😂😂😂
Baby mesi was something. xthe first game of hiom a saw was against chelsea. it's because of him a start looking after la liga, i'm a liverpool fan. but the first 5min, you thing maybe it's luck, the next you thing it's clearly luck, but he have talent, the next you really know that you don't know!! at the last 5 8 years he walk a lot but by the time he was from minute 1 running like crazy!! he was on constant mouvement, never tired, all the time dribbling, "la pulga atomica" was his nickname. on 5 6 minutes messi was already sweating maknig run EVERYWHERE, making always the good controle, the good pass, being incredibly fast with the ball, he had only two problems: somethimes the choice were'nt good and he was't scoring some very good opportunity. The most impressive thing on his devellopement for me was his goal scoring hability.. we all know since the debut that he was above much of the players, but a never imagine that he'll gonna acheive and be that player!!
You could see he was an all time generational genetic freak even in 1 game at 18 years old. I love Lamine Yamal and think he can become the best in the world but Messi was on an entirely different planet as a teenager - pure god given football genetics - I don't think we'll ever see a player like Messi again👍
I love watching Messi in psg. He accomplished so much.
Psyche
aww get well soon ❤
@@tine272 go Messi!!!! 2nd World Cup coming soon 2026!!
You has to see Messi in context of the game, the statistics can not measure his quality. I think it is the reason why he is so successful. His impact on game is unmeasurable by statistics.
100% agree.
The fact that both Messi an Yamal both came into the light at a Gamper tho
Enorme Leo, gracias por tantas alegrías, te amamos Capi.
In an interview Xavi described Messi as a unique, incomparable and unrepeatable player, undoubtedly the best of all time. Pep Guardiola said that in his entire career, first as player and then as coach, he has seen few players capable of playing at Messi's level which is very, very high. But he has never seen, even among the players of the past, someone capable of playing at this level every three days and for many many years.
Personally, I think Iniesta is a Legend. A higher class. But I can't say that Messi is a bad player. Very likable. A sing way of playing. Very good. I wish him all the joy and happiness in the future. which he has succeeded in doing
