This Messi was like a mix of prime Maradona and prime Ronaldo Nazario. Underrated strength, blistering pace and agility, vision, and control. He was a menace. The true GOAT.
He was so good. He kinda still is, but he's more slow. He used to be the most prolific and perfect player football has ever seeen, and he was that for at least 17 years straight
There was something about this version of lionel messi with this haircut i couldnt understand..i think this was his physical and technical prime..he moved like water but also with soo much power and force.
@@midget420apparently his diet was one of the worst out of all footballers. It seems like he was such an extraordinarily gifted player that it didn't even matter which makes his career that much more insane.
@@patcisz3474 the thing what’s most crazy is that we haven’t even seen his full potential. He lost a lot of explosiveness in the 2013 injury and adapted his playstyle. He was unstoppable from 2009-2013 pre injury. He was by far the best after that as well but his dribbling was even more crazy before his injury.
My message to a certain blind fanbase : How can you guys not see this? I mean how? How can you not love this guy? This is not normal! After all these,this guy never provokes your guy,never claims to be the greatest! How can you not respect this man?
Most of them aren't even football fans. They like Ronaldo's hyper active personality off the pitch talking about motivation and hardwork (which are good things to talk about) whereas Messi is that shy dude who minds his business after the 90 minutes. On the pitch, Messi vs Ronaldo is a forced debate. Messi is the greatest player in football history.
Bro it’s literally so beautiful the touch the drop of a shoulder vision control! I’ll never understand how the ball just always seems to perfectly bounce off his foot the perfect distance whilst running full speed
Pele, Maradona, Cristiano, Ronaldo, none of them can even come close to how this man played. Superhuman abilities. You watch the career highlight of any of those players and Messi's highlights from 1 season make them seem like child's play. The greatest ever if you know anything about football...
I have no doubt who the best player in the world was. I have never seen a player with so much confidence in his balance and speed. He was untouchable this season, absolutely untouchable. You could put three players to mark him and he'd still dribble through, make passes through their legs, or chip the ball over their heads. It was like magic. No player in the world has ever been so complete. The speed, the stamina, the control. He was the perfect footballer.
Most players whole career wouldn't have the amount of dribbles like this. Then theres this guy doing it in just one season. The God of Football ladies and gentlemen. We will never ever see another genius like him.
When a player is seriously up for debate to whether they're the greatest to grace the game at just 24, you know the inevitable outcome of that question. By far and away, the best player of all time.
Any other player can focus 100% on scoring goals from much closer range, and still never come close to getting 91 goals. This guy was doing it from much further out while passing and dribbling past everyone too. There'll never be another like Messi in our lifetime, if ever
Messi at his peak was truly something else. The only other 2 guys who put me at awe were Ronaldinho and Henry at their peak. But messi at his peak was truly superhuman.
The thing is when we watch messi play football he makes us have a feeling of I’m in awe or I have never seen this before and no other player in my lifetime has given us that feeling
realizing how good this man is just insane. if you saw anyone in the prem or liga do ts now you would say: wtf is he doing, waste of a possession. but with messi it just works😭
No, this can't be normal , for sure. I have been and still I am a Ronaldo fan by any means of it but hey this lad is an outrageous football player - his body and soul are naturally connected to the ball, plus his intelligence in unlocking whatever it is locked. It's true that Ronaldo may be the warrior in war but hey this man Leo is the definition of football.
@@DeluxeRyanmate his dribbling didn’t get any better or worse in 11/12 either, he just became more of a forward so he has less dribbles. Anything 10/11 Messi could do, this one could do aswell and vice versa.
He's had a few peaks but 18/19 is the most complete version of him for me. He was still winning golden boots while being the best playmaker and dribbler and teams were terrified of conceding a free kick as it was likely a free goal
@LionelM_D you can't just cherry pick one game out of an entire season. Also Messi destroyed Real Madrid and prime Manchester United the previous year in 2011
Only a left-footed player can hit such hooks and perform such movements, see also Arjen Robben. A right-legged man will never be able to do such a thing. Messi is a genius. The best of all time. There will be no one better.
@elbuki4006 he won multiple Ballon d'Ors, 4 International trophies and a cup with inter miami out of his "system" Ronaldo has barely sniffed a trophy since leaving Madrid, either collective or individual. There's only one system player here and it ain't Messi
He is way more slower now but his dribbling technique is still solid that's the reason why he don't need pace , the dribbling technique itself is goated
He was never really in the top speed category. Where he made defenders look foolish was his sheer acceleration and change of pace. He would maintain a speed that I think defenders believed was his top speed then turn up the juice in a split second. More importantly his speed with the ball at his feet that makes him a menace to defend. But yeah we likely won't really get many more solo runs from midfield, nor should we from a 36 year old but every now and then you still see these glimpses.
@@dougbfreshHis speed with the ball was greater than anyone probably barring Maradona. Other guys could run fast but significantly slower with the ball.
@@dougbfresh Speed with the ball at his feet and with such control that he change direction at full speed? you are crazy if you think someone is even close to Messi. Not even Mbappe is close to Messi in that regards, Mbappe is fast but running in a straight line. He can't change direction, he would fall to the ground.
it is so annoying that the debate is not over ,look at this guy toying with 1 billion euro real marid like they are piece of shit ,look at box to box run , solo run ,pass, everything just ❤❤❤❤.LIKE IT WAS SAID GOAT
There never was a debate. Just a group of delusional idiots known as CR7 fans. It's true what they say about CR. The biggest accomplishment in his career was to be compared to Messi
I believe that he complete player ever is Messi 2018/2019 but this one is messi at his most peak physical condition and the scariest machine. This year were Messi and Ronaldo's peak in terms of their physique
@@pkay4405 glad i wasn't tripping, he was lightning quick before 12/13 injury and its not that he got older because he was still only 25, thats still young, it has to be the injury that lost him speed
@@MrHidinhowhich was good because it made him explore other of his abilities which he’s now reaping from in his old age when he can no longer speed or accelerate like before but he can unlock defense with his passing abilities and that’s still makes him crucial for any team

Ronaldo Nazario did.
