There is no comparison between Ronaldo and Messi. Messi is a complete player. Ronaldo is a scorer. Messi is as good a scorer as Ronaldo, 100 times better a dribbler, 100 times better passer.
Messi is the better footballer, Ronaldo is the better Athlete. There is a comparison because they were compared for 15 years, so youre just showing ignorance. They both had a massive impact on the sport and did things others never will. We wont see a battle of 2 like it ever again.
Both of you aren't wrong. In my opinion Messi is the Goat for the Very reason that he is a Complete player, not taking anything away from Ronaldo. But Messi has "completed" soccer. He's won everything there is to win including a World Cup. Has the record for scoring 91 goals in 1 season. King Messi's feats will not be replicated or beaten in our lifetime. We're lucky we got to witness both Messi and Ronaldo playing at the same time and even against each other. Would've been cool to see them both play together in a Euro team in the past.
Then why ronaldo has a bigger fanbase? PLUS are we going to exclude the facts ronaldo has better goals more diverse and 70% of the job was xavi and iniesta at most of the goals?
Everybody that says this knows nothing about how basic language and logic work. There’s no GOAT in this game and there never will be. You can only be the best in your time.
For beginner football fans, you might think some of these was poor defending. But I'll tell you it's not. It's not as easy as Messi makes it look. And Goalkeepers can literally use their hands to grab or catch the ball, that's why they rush forward whenever a heavy touch is taken or when the ball is lose. If keeper picks the ball with his hands, then the attack stops entirely. You can't take the ball from the keeper's hand unless he kicks it.
Also it’s easier to see their flaws with a bird eyes view from video, have to remember defenders see the game with blind spots not like we see on video
And also you have to take into consideration the "outside" rule, that's why there are many different way to defend and also that is why most of the defenders are in line.
It is also a way to choke the shooting angles for the attacker, thus, theoretically, leaving him with less options to score a goal. But, then again, Messi was built diferent.
I am 40 years old and watching football my whole life and Messi is the greatest player of my lifetime. Ronaldo R9 would have been but injuries and the fact he didn't take care of himself was a contributor and a major factor to why he is not. Cristiano Ronaldo made his success through hard work and determination but for me Messi is the best footballer I have ever seen. There were players who were more naturally gifted than Cristiano Ronaldo but he was so good on desire where Messi and Brazilian Ronaldo was more naturally gifted
@@schuyler_reacts IShowSpeed knows nothing about football he has learned over the last 2 years he knows nothing about the history of football or the great teams that have played football and the greatest football players. Yes Ronaldo is a special player one of the greatest but Messi is something different. Ronaldo is an athlete but if you passed Messi on the street you wouldn't think anything special about him.
@@brianharkin shhh, speeds only playing a character on stream, hes making mils off of it so hes just keep doing it, who knows who he really supports out of stream, or even he doesnt even care abt football off stream
The greatest achievement of Cristiano Ronaldo's career was being able to compete with Messi in a few seasons. Cristiano Ronaldo is the result of a lot of training and dedication (there is no more dedicated player in history), but Messi has a gift from God.
no it’s his 5 champions leagues and 5 ballon dors…why do we have to disrespect him as if he’s garbage…for a while he had a case for being better than messi. then messi got 7 and 8 ballon dors. but they were on the same level more or less 2008-2019.
@@josephvernon21 I didn't disrespect CR7. I just made a comparison. Messi is like Pele, a rare talent. CR7 worked very hard and managed to be at the same level as Messi for many years. This is a great merit of his.
@@josephvernon21 lmao nope, Messi has always been better than Ronaldo as a player (pure ability, skills), since 2005. Ronaldo just did better in 2 seasons: 2007/08 and 2013/14 as overall performance.
@@BenTheVideoGamerand 16 when he won everything. U seem to neglect that in knock out stages in UCL ronaldo has better stats and messi was non existent in 70% of the seasons in the final stages of ucl like quarter finals semi finals? 😂 Messi was non existent in any match when barcelona got trashed in ucl. 4 0 4 0 3 0 3 0 8 2. MESSI on the field. And messi at psg can he compare with ronaldo for juve? One left as a legend with 101 goals the other left booed with 0 goals in UCL when it got tough. The fact messi got 8 balon d ors is a joke. The last semi deserved was 2019. But even then he got trashed 4 0. Dude gets humiliated in ucl every year and we gave him balon d or for freakin coppa america😂. Meanwhile when ronaldo took euros and ucl in the same year it was an unfair balon d or
as great as these videos are, there are no highlights that can show you how great he was and is. watching him in his prime during a game even without scoring this man was mesmerizing
@@schuyler_reactsto be a faur comparision, statistically he would be lebron (most goals+ assists in football history) and playing would be michael jordan(what u saw in this video), with the passing of stockton (most assists in football history) and the scoring of prime james harden (most goals in a year)
@@schuyler_reactsno he is more like the steph curry. Curry and messi are like the two sides of the same medallion. They both represent the “unreachable”, “having unbelievable skills”, they both make the others stars look casuals and boring. No more dunks or fade away mj type shots make u feel excited after experiencing how curry plays. Curry’s long range shots after crazy dribbles are the equivalent of messi’s unmatched dribbling and creating his own chances by these dribbles. Lebron is more like a mix between zidane and a strong forward like drogba or zlatan.
9:10 the goalkeeper comes out to try and cut/reduce the angle Messi has to shoot. If he stays in the "pocket", it's much easier for Messi to score because he has a wider choice of where to place the ball. When the forward has passed the last defender, you'll always see the goalie coming out to confront him. It also puts more pressure on the forward because now he has to worry about how to pass the goalie, who now has a distinct advantage because he can use his hands...
@@marcosarg1 I agree, he miscalculated Messi's speed and failed to adjust in time. I was just trying to let Schuyler know that it's normal for a goalkeeper to come out of the goal zone to try and cut off the forward and reduce his shooting angle.
Also the goal keeper doesn’t have bird eyes view like we do when watching a video lol. The game is much more complicated when you’re actually on the field and only have two eyes and vision can be blocked by your own defenders.
Imagine running at full speed then changing direction mutiple times when controlling the ball at your feet whilst other top class footballers are trying to tackle and foul you. He is the best dribbler of all time, one of the greatest goalscorers of all time, one of the best passers of all time and his vision is second to none. Add the pressure of doing it in front of 100000 fans week on week for over 15 years and making it look easy. He is able to do things no other player has ever done. GOAT
7:50 - Not a bad defense. Messi was faking a kick on goal, and if the player did not try to close the angle and Messi had shot the ball, he could easily score from there. The defenders have to respect that the guy could score from anywhere unless you close the angle, and Messi uses it to his advantage with all his fakes. Remember that some of these players getting destroyed are some of the best soccer defenders in the world. Oh, did I mention that he's also one of the very best passers of all time with some of the top number of assists?
thanks for writing this comment... I was about to right this as well . Also that angle is a really common angle for left footed players to curl the ball in top left corner so the defender had to cover it . And again these are some of the best defenders in the world so positionally they rarely make mistakes .
Please!!! Messi is the best of all time! He already surpassed the great Maradona (also Argentine) and has countless titles, 7 Ballón D'or, In addition to being champion of America 2021, champion of the Finalissima 2022 and world champion 2022. He is 35 years old and continues to play like he did at 20. Ronaldo can't keep up with him! He is incomparable!!! He is the G.O.A.T
@@itashiki2131 We already did. Ronaldo wasn't a good dribbler. He was a good snowboater. Ronaldo's dribbling is an advanced version of Antony's dribbling.
At 9:25 its actually not terrible goalie he went out to cut the angles and make it harder for messi, its basics you learn in 1v1 but messi opened tight angle with another step. Whenever goalie is left 1v1 with a player you cant really blame him
These goals are world class. you may have seen more flashy goals from other players but the beautiful thing about messi is that scoring goals like these is almost normal, you will be watching the game and nothing is really happening and then all of a sudden Messi does something like this. Ps. you are talking about bad defending, thats just messi making grown men who play the sport on a professional level look like kids.
@@schuyler_reactsMessi is truly the one player that you cant look at your phone when hes got the ball because there is a good chance that you will miss something special
@@eeliskarjalainen1016very well said. After he transferred to PSG and now Miami, I've been putting on the game and only look at it when his name comes up
@@schuyler_reactshe has the most assists of all time in football. Also he scored 20 goals less from ronaldo while playing 150 games less 😂 he is the Goat
Messi is the best in history, he is in the conversation with Maradona or Pelé, Ronaldo has more momentum from his fans, having been the two best players of the last 15 years they used to put them on the same scale, but in In reality Messi is one step above in basically everything, Ronaldo will historically be one of the 5 or 6 best in history, but Messi is definitely 1 or 2, there is a big difference there In NBA terms: Maradona and Pelé would historically be like Jordan and Magic, Messi would be Lebron (although in this case this Lebron would surpass Jordan) and Cristiano would be something like Durant or Giannis but he would not reach the level of Jordan or Lebron, but people I would put him there just because he is a contemporary of Messi.
Nah bro. More like Messi = Kobe Ronaldo = Lebron You cannot take away Ronaldo's 5 Ballon D'Ors, won 5 CL and being top goalscorer always. He also holds many records over Messi like being top Champions League in history with 140 goals. BTW this is coming from a Messi fan (im southamerican). But how you lower down Ronaldo like that I believe is unfair tbh, if you look at it from a stats standpoint. It is an anomaly that 2 of the football GOATS emerged in the same time period. Although I agree that Messi always had the edge on Ronaldo.
@@nostalgiatech9 this makes no sense, unless you’re only talking about their physical builds (Ronaldo is big and strong for a soccer player). Kobe was primarily a scorer (like Ronaldo) while LeBron is much more of an all-around player (like Messi).
@@schuyler_reacts 23 I have been watching football for years, I can only remember the only player who I can compare to Messi in terms of speed, the Brazilian Ronaldo phenomenon, Messi is the fastest player in carrying the ball, this is a fact
See, Ronaldo is a lot of fancy footwork and heel stop, which in itself is good. But Messi, he changes directions in a split second, sudden stops, dodge, faint one way, change direction, has vision. He's just incredible
a lot of fancy footwork and heel stops that don't get you anywhere is snowboating nowadays. Antony is doing the exact thing Ronaldo did and people slander Antony for it.
Imma put it like this. The biggest thing thats ever happened in Ronaldos career was being compared to Messi at some point. But today that debate doesnt even exist anymore outside of social media. Real football heads know there was never a comparison in the first place
The problem with all the "bad defenders" and "bad goalies" is, that they get many millions, because they are the best in the world and Messi makes them loook this bad. The top payed defenders in the world honestly state that it would need 3 of them to stop Messi in beast mode.
Great first reaction to the 🐐. He's the player who got me interested in football. Messi is a great goal scorer but he is also a play maker, passer, dribbler, his game IQ and vision is incredible and he doesn't go down without a hell of a reason. The videos by magicalmessi are always 🔥 as well as 47 football and Messi the Boss. Enjoy 😉 Btw Ronaldo never took the 🐐 title off Messi; the debate is definitely over since Messi won Copa America, finalissima and the world cup in 2021 and 2022 😂 A great video you should check out is the game through the eyes of Lionel Messi and Messi vs physics 👍
8:03 cuz if u look at Messi, he made it seem like he was going to shoot it that way, and that's why the defender shifted his body towards that left spot !! tbh that was some decent defending right there 8:52 i'm just gonna copy someone's comment wich I totally agree with: "the goalkeeper comes out to try and cut/reduce the angle Messi has to shoot. If he stays in the "pocket", it's much easier for Messi to score because he has a wider choice of where to place the ball. When the forward has passed the last defender, you'll always see the goalie coming out to confront him. It also puts more pressure on the forward because now he has to worry about how to pass the goalie, who now has a distinct advantage because he can use his hands..." 9:05 he wasn't taking a nap, prior to that he slid to save Messi's shot from going in... and he was hella close And as for the Messi vs CR7 debate, look, there've been tons of legendary players in this sport, no need to name em all cuz trust me the list won't end, but the 2 players that stand on the top are Messi & CR7 for their achievements "both indivudually & collectively" wich makes em both faaaar ahead than anyone else in this game, and to compare the two Messi is most definitely better than CR7 ! -Messi: 8x Ballon D'or, 3x FIFA best player of the year, 6 Golden Shoes, 2x Laureus world sportsman of the year "THE ONLY TEAM SPORT ATHLETE TO EVER WIN THIS INDIVIDUAL TROPHY, ALL OTHER WINNERS WERE FROM INDIVIDUAL SPORTS SUCH AS TENNIS, F1, GOLF etc.. KOBE, LEBRON, CURRY, NOWITZKI, CR7, RONALDO R9 etc.. WERE ALL NOMINATED BUT NONE OF EM HAVE WON IT.. TO THIS DATE MESSI IS THE ONLY TEAM SPORT ATHLETE TO WIN IT" -CR7: 5x Ballon D'or, 3x FIFA best player of the year, 4 European Golden Shoes -Messi with Argentina: 1 FIFA world cup, 1 Copa América, 1 Finalissima -CR7 with Portugal: 1 Euro, 1 UEFA Nations League P.S: CR7 stands for Cristiano Ronaldo, that's his nickname, and the reason why I use CR7 instead of Ronaldo cuz there's another legendary player that goes by the name of Ronaldo Nazario A.K.A Ronaldo Fénomeno or R9
la verdad es que hay muchos futbolistas que fueron grandes e inmensos en este juego atreves del tiempo, pero lo que hace a este pibe ser lo que es es su trasfondo y creo que ha logrado más que muchos de su camada logró mantenerse estable y seguro, y por sobretodas las cosas firme en las decisiones tomadas, saludos desde Córdoba Argentina⭐⭐⭐
Being 64, I´ve had the opportunity to watch games live on TV with Pelé, Maradona. and Messi. The three great ones. (Sorry Distefano. I´m not that old) Pelé won 3 World Cups and played in a time when defenders could literally hunt you down. No yellow cards exited and rarely a red card was issued. There was no real training and the equipment and fields were a joke. He did play with some of the greatest national teams ever assembled. Maradona was able to carry on his shoulders mediocre teams to greatness. What he did in Napoli is unparalleled. Messi won everything there is to win and did so against the best-trained footballers and teams in history. Yet, he also played alongside some of the greatest players ever. No way to determine who the GOAT is. They almost played different sports. Let´s just enjoy the game.
8:58 bruh calm down. Goalkeepers are not mannequin. They have to move, come for the ball and close the gap for player to shoot💀 Bro is blaming everyone for Messi's genius. Not eveyone can make a fool of defenders and goalies.
Bro I've been watching football for like 20 years now, and trust me, Messi is not human. No human can do what he does. Those little dribbles you described as "left-right movements" are f**king difficult. Even pro footballers can't do it on training grounds, let alone in an actual match. I won't go to the debate about Messi vs Ronaldo, because there is no debate. Messi is insane, alien, god.. whatever you want to call him. When you're done with his goals, look at his passes, assists, and playmaking. I bet you'll be convinced he's not a human. He is a cheat code, a glitch in the matrix. His passes are more beautiful than the goals. He has, like, 1000 eyes to see what nobody can see. You can't train that! That's why there was never a debate. He made football a Picasso masterpiece.

In soccer you can't stay on your line as a goalie. It's not like in hockey, the goal is too big. You need to close down the angles and put pressure on the attacker.
@@schuyler_reactsThanks for reading and trying to learn about the sport.... Also, when you said that the defender was wrong leaving Messi all the space for him to enter, the defender was trying to close the gap for the "usually normal next move" from an attacker in that circumstances; Shoot with his left leg to the far post. But instead, Messi did a Messi Move; "unpredictable"... You saw how many players he left on the floor, this aren't amateur players, it's just; they're against messi. Even the best defenders and goalkeepers in Messi's prime suffered.
The thing about Messi that amazes me (well, ONE of the things) is how calm he is at all times. He can be five yards from the goal, two yards from the goalie, with defenders all around, and he can still make actual decisions... he can be patient. 99.999 of players would just shoot immediately. He is just so calm, so controlled, so patient. Unbelievable. Unmatchable.
I dont wanna open the debatte again cause stats speak clearly for Messi and when you watch him hes brilliant everytime. But Ronaldo is for sure the second best
@@schuyler_reactsThe debate is close only for those like you who watch football not that often . You know Ronaldo is like the GOAT of sport because he is clearly a best athletes than Messi . By mile. So a man who prefer sports over foot can say Ronaldo is ahead . But in term of football only , talent , stats , trophy, the debat isn't close . I hope you will understand what I'm saying . I did not speak English I'm french.
There is no one in history of football that moved like Messi. Nobody scored more goals than him in a calendar year! He broke all the records that stood for decades.
7:50 No way bro telling Atletico how to defend💀 Always wondered how Best teams in the world haven't come up with how to stop Messi but people watching first time ever acting like they know everything do this do that💀
Messi and Ronaldo are both legends of the game. However, what Messi has done cannot be compared to any others... Ronaldo beats Messi in 3 things: Headings (goals and duels won), penalties (more goals and higher scoring percentage) and total number of goals (44 more goals in 150 more games). Messi wins out in all other aspects: More goals per game, More G/A per game, more dribbles, more passes, more plays, more trophies...Remove penalties and suddenly Messi is the one with the highest number of goals too. Everyone who has played with Messi say the same thing: I've never seen anyone do what he does... Even in training he would take the ball, dribble the whole team and score when he wanted to. He makes it look so easy too against world class players. From dribbles, passes, assists, plays, goals, freekicks, vision etc there has never been a footballer more complete than Messi. It's fairly obvious too. Like Zidane said: "I was 1s ahead of the rest, but you (Messi) are 3s ahead of everybody. The only one" Messi has been MotM (Man of the Match) in 52-53% of ALL his games throughout his career. That is absolutely insanity...Out of 22 professional, great players on the pitch + more getting swapped in from the bench, Messi is MotM in over half of his games. What the fuck...?? All respect to Ronaldo for his work ethic and what he has been able to do over his career. He does alot of work to maintain his form. Man is definitely a legend, and one of the greatest players to ever play. Consistent as hell too! But Messi is Messi...It's hard to accurately describe his talent for football. It's just magic.
The 1st goal is not number one because of the commentators. It's because that goal is the mirror image of one of the best goals ever scored by one of the previous goat of the game: Maradona. It's almost like the passing of the torch.
@@schuyler_reacts yeah man. Us in the rest of the world who know about Maradona's goal we all went crazy when Messi literally replicated that same goal. That's why the guy went crazy, we all did. If you try to find Maradona and Messi goals you'll see it.
Ronaldo was a really good player, even haters must admit that. Almost nobody can reach his stadistics. Having said that, Ronaldo has some major disadventages that makes Messi way better. 1) While Messi makes other players better with his passes, play, spirit... Ronaldo forces his partners no play for him He increases his stats but the partners decreise theirs. He has to shoot all the faults, all the penalties, finish all the big chances, even when he is not the best option or isn't that good at faults (he shoots stronger than Messi, but with way less accuracy). So, if we put Messi in a team with two others scorers that make 15 goals per year, both Messi and Cristiano will make 50 goals, but Messi's teammates will increase their average to 20-25+ goals, but Cristiano's will reduce it to 10 or less 2) Cristiano has a better body, so he shoots stronger and is better at headers. Also, he helps a little bit to defense. But except this points, Messi greatly surpasses him in every point of the game: assists, variety of ways to score, pass, vision of the game, strategy, sinergy with other players, technical habilities... He is too much. Of course, it is valid to preffer Ronaldo's style over Messi style... But while Ronaldo is a scorer, Messi is a scorer, asistant, controller... He simply understands the game way better than Ronaldo or anyone else.
bro you can't judge messi with his scoring ability, ronaldo is a pure striker but messi is a playmaker as well as goalscorer if you really wanna see messi videos then react to "messi vs physics" you will see what messi is capable of doing and if you wanna see who is better messi or ronaldo then you should check "messi vs ronaldo best goat comparison" in that video you will get every single detail and you will know who is the goat
@@schuyler_reactsof course it's messi messi is by far better then ronaldo, no hate to ronaldo but messi is purely god gifted natural player i've ever seen, if you know football and play football then you know messi is by far better then ronaldo most trophy, most individual trophy, most goals in less games as well as most assist, messi has broke so many records and only player in history who has more ballon do'r and ballon do'r is like MVP in basketball, messi has 7 and will win 8 in 30 october just 4 days left and he has so many records i can't even say it
both are the goats cannot be compared we just have to be thankful we were able to witness 2 greatest players at the same time most probably most of the viewers like messi more and i respect their opinion
To kick the ball like Messi does in those lobs, first you need to figure out the spin that the balls is having before you kick it and add your spin to that depending where you want it to go. All that in a split second.
Messi is still doing it at 37!!! Look at his goal just recently vs Nashville United in Leagues Cup final its just brilliant that he is still amazing at an older age where most would be retired from football by now
if you're a "true" fan who have watched a lot of football or someone who just see and caompare on attributes, skills and trophies/achievements, Messi is the goat, there was a debate because Ronaldo is just 2 years older than Messi and they played at the same time, in rival teams so the media was having a blast comparing them and making drama because they were in the beginning/middle of their career and anything could have happened, but still, people who Ronaldo is the goat are people who put athleticism in the most "common" sense and goal scoring abilities before all, but it's only 2 things and even in fifa games it wouldn't be enough to say this player is better than that player
to be honest the defenders and goalies didn't really made a mistake, maybe not the best decisions also, but it's just that Messi is that good, like the goalie at 9:20 it's usual for goalies to close the distance and close the angles of attackers instead of letting him shoot (even tho in this situation it's more that Messi put the ball really far from him and the goali thought he could get there in time)
8:09 defender was pretty much forced to close down on him, as Messi is (primarily) left footed and has a killer bend shot from that angle that has meant quite a lot of goals during his career. Messi was closing in for the shot there, defender closed down to cut off the shooting angle so the ball would bounce on him when shot. It then turned out that Messi used to him in closing down to shake him off after a dribble to instead move in for the killer blow. Had the defender not closed down, then Messi would've taken a shot he had a VERY big chance of converting...and then the defender would've been blamed on terrible defense aswell for not pressing in and trying to block the shot. As he closed in, Messi dribbled and scored instead... and he gets blamed on terrible defense because he moved in. Lose/lose; damned if you do, damned if you don't. This is like telling a defender who fell for a Kobe Bryant's pump fake why had he jumped when KB instead dribbled past him...well, because KB had a killer shot he *had* to defend against and had he not jumped, he'd probably given away an easy bucket too. It's what great offensive players in sports do. They try to force their defender to commit to a certain defending move by threatening them with an action, and once they're locked into that, then they get destroyed when the offensive player does something completey different instead. And Messi is, far and beyond, the best football player in history at doing exactly that. summing up: It's not terrible defending - it's that Messi is so damned skilled and has such an all around arsenal of moves, shots and dribbles that he constantly puts defenders in no win situations that, whatever they do, they get mowed down.
Messi is a more complete and player, he's great at passing, creating plays, his game IQ is beyond any player we've seen and by far his ball handling skills are astounding. I watched Pele, Maradona, Kempes and so many greats over the decades and no one matches Messi. He truly is the best to ever play the game,
Messi is the absolute goat his dribbling his playmaking even as a winger he scored so many goals 91 goals in a season with dozens of assist 8 balondors are not just for show he has earned it his longevity winning world cup at 35 shows you how great he really is there will never be someone like messi again not in this lifetime
I honestly have insane respect for Ronaldo as much as i troll his fans, my guy was keeping up with Messi, the greatest player in the worlds history and i prop him for that but Messi is clear.
Maradona could dribble an entire soccer team, he was an assistant and playmaker like Messi and Pele were, only Maradona was not a contemporary due to his addiction. CR7 is only a scorer, only those who don't know about football compare him with Messi or Maradona, they don't know how to differentiate that Messi is a scorer, playmaker and assister, he is complete, Ronaldo is just a scorer
Messi is the reason i fell in love with football when i was 9 years old. Im 24 now. Messi is not only 1000x times better than Ronaldo. Messi is the best player ever to touch a ball on this planet.
Messi is a better playmaker and all round footballer. Ronaldo is a better striker. Messi is more decorated than any footballer in history, hence the goat. Also Messi is a pure delight to watch.
The thing about Messi is his mentality. As long as he can get to the ball, he won't give it up. 99% of all other players in the world would drop at the slightest touch from an opponent. But not Messi. Not as long as he even has the chance to hold onto the ball. That, his speed, ball control and agility make him the absolute number 1 in the world.
Messi is, by far, the best player in the world! He was described by many pundits and commentstors as the greatest player of all time from his very early age (his early 20s). Whereas Ronaldo's consistent long-term form st Real Madrid brought him that comparison with Messi. But its pretty obvious for every average observer to see that Messi is the better player by far. The stats show that. The individual accolades prove it!
You know, I get emotional thinking that there are people discovering Rony now, we used to watch him man, I wish he played in the social media age. The guy had fun, it was about the Samba, the fun, nothing about scoring. The legend, la sondrisa del Futbol
What you don't got here on the video is the stage he is doing it. The 2nd goal all time here is in Copa final. The goal vs real Madrid is in UCL semi final the first goal with the head vs Manchester is in UCL final
I love your reaction bro and imagine it’s only 20 of his magical goals , he’s my fav player since I was like 5 years old 22 now he’s just amazing bro best in the world also won the 2023 World Cup with Argentina👏🏾👏🏾
As a goalkeeper myself Goalkeeper only gets one moment. Whereas other player like in midfield and forward can do many thing in field. Respect to.goalkeeper its not an easy role to be. When you concede goal goalie gets blamed. When they save its nothing. They dont even appreciate the effort. I know scoring goal is beautiful and be remembered by everyone. But I think saving ball even tho youre risking your body health for example your leg or side of your hips gets bruised when diving. And your chest when you fell down from flight. Even your nuts and head are in great danger just to save ball. So to me I think goalkeeper are very undersappreciated and goalie are super cool to me . I love to save ball even tho I cannot save all of them. Mad respect to goalie in professional league.
When you said "Yeah, we get it" about the "Gol Gol Gol" comment, I thought "No bro, you don't get it". The goal he scored was like an almost perfect copy of a goal scored by Diego Maradona at the 1986 World Cup, which was voted the goal of the century. So what this guy saw was not an ordinary goal, nor was it a beautiful goal. It was a replica of the goal of the century, scored by a 19-year-old boy. It was the moment when everyone woke up to the possibility of seeing a new goat, which until then had been either Pele or Maradona. th-cam.com/video/jKRCDEXa06g/w-d-xo.html
Messi is the best for his longevity. For me personally, Dinho is the greatest to ever touch a football. The thing with Dinho is that he dominated the game for about 4 years, winning virtually everything. Then he didn’t take care of himself physically so he started to fall off. But for those 3-4 years, he was an absolute magician
I am writing this text with the utmost respect for Ronaldo. I don’t remember Ronaldo passing through 5-6 opponent players like pillars through strength, power, technique and dribbling. Yes, he also scored a lot of goals, and many of them were decisive, but Leo is GREAT! God created him specifically for this game, and I am incredibly happy that I saw many matches with these goals live and personally witnessed these greatest goals! Low bow to you Messi!
There is no comparison between Ronaldo and Messi. Messi is a complete player. Ronaldo is a scorer. Messi is as good a scorer as Ronaldo, 100 times better a dribbler, 100 times better passer.
Ohh yeah I get what you’re saying
Messi is the better footballer, Ronaldo is the better Athlete. There is a comparison because they were compared for 15 years, so youre just showing ignorance. They both had a massive impact on the sport and did things others never will. We wont see a battle of 2 like it ever again.
Both of you aren't wrong. In my opinion Messi is the Goat for the Very reason that he is a Complete player, not taking anything away from Ronaldo. But Messi has "completed" soccer. He's won everything there is to win including a World Cup. Has the record for scoring 91 goals in 1 season. King Messi's feats will not be replicated or beaten in our lifetime. We're lucky we got to witness both Messi and Ronaldo playing at the same time and even against each other. Would've been cool to see them both play together in a Euro team in the past.
Then why ronaldo has a bigger fanbase? PLUS are we going to exclude the facts ronaldo has better goals more diverse and 70% of the job was xavi and iniesta at most of the goals?

@@MrBrightSide77 doesn't matter anymore really, time moves forward not backwards mate
@@MrBrightSide77 I'm sure they would have been much better rated if only they stayed as consistently as Messi did, the stats proved it.
Everybody that says this knows nothing about how basic language and logic work. There’s no GOAT in this game and there never will be. You can only be the best in your time.
For beginner football fans, you might think some of these was poor defending. But I'll tell you it's not. It's not as easy as Messi makes it look. And Goalkeepers can literally use their hands to grab or catch the ball, that's why they rush forward whenever a heavy touch is taken or when the ball is lose. If keeper picks the ball with his hands, then the attack stops entirely. You can't take the ball from the keeper's hand unless he kicks it.
Also it’s easier to see their flaws with a bird eyes view from video, have to remember defenders see the game with blind spots not like we see on video
Yeah, he does not know about how effective he uses fake shots/fake passes. Those are the situations the defending looks poor in
And also you have to take into consideration the "outside" rule, that's why there are many different way to defend and also that is why most of the defenders are in line.
It is also a way to choke the shooting angles for the attacker, thus, theoretically, leaving him with less options to score a goal. But, then again, Messi was built diferent.
I am 40 years old and watching football my whole life and Messi is the greatest player of my lifetime. Ronaldo R9 would have been but injuries and the fact he didn't take care of himself was a contributor and a major factor to why he is not. Cristiano Ronaldo made his success through hard work and determination but for me Messi is the best footballer I have ever seen. There were players who were more naturally gifted than Cristiano Ronaldo but he was so good on desire where Messi and Brazilian Ronaldo was more naturally gifted

The greatest achievement of Cristiano Ronaldo's career was being able to compete with Messi in a few seasons. Cristiano Ronaldo is the result of a lot of training and dedication (there is no more dedicated player in history), but Messi has a gift from God.

Absolutely agree, and this coming from a Cristiano and RM fan.
as great as these videos are, there are no highlights that can show you how great he was and is. watching him in his prime during a game even without scoring this man was mesmerizing
His vision & his ability to find his teammates is touch notch tbh .. he reminds me of Lebron James like the in game IQ
@@schuyler_reactsto be a faur comparision, statistically he would be lebron (most goals+ assists in football history) and playing would be michael jordan(what u saw in this video), with the passing of stockton (most assists in football history) and the scoring of prime james harden (most goals in a year)
@@schuyler_reactsno he is more like the steph curry. Curry and messi are like the two sides of the same medallion. They both represent the “unreachable”, “having unbelievable skills”, they both make the others stars look casuals and boring. No more dunks or fade away mj type shots make u feel excited after experiencing how curry plays. Curry’s long range shots after crazy dribbles are the equivalent of messi’s unmatched dribbling and creating his own chances by these dribbles. Lebron is more like a mix between zidane and a strong forward like drogba or zlatan.
9:10 the goalkeeper comes out to try and cut/reduce the angle Messi has to shoot. If he stays in the "pocket", it's much easier for Messi to score because he has a wider choice of where to place the ball. When the forward has passed the last defender, you'll always see the goalie coming out to confront him. It also puts more pressure on the forward because now he has to worry about how to pass the goalie, who now has a distinct advantage because he can use his hands...
While this is true, that goalie over did it.
@@marcosarg1 I agree, he miscalculated Messi's speed and failed to adjust in time. I was just trying to let Schuyler know that it's normal for a goalkeeper to come out of the goal zone to try and cut off the forward and reduce his shooting angle.
Thank you 👍🏼
Also the goal keeper doesn’t have bird eyes view like we do when watching a video lol. The game is much more complicated when you’re actually on the field and only have two eyes and vision can be blocked by your own defenders.
Imagine running at full speed then changing direction mutiple times when controlling the ball at your feet whilst other top class footballers are trying to tackle and foul you. He is the best dribbler of all time, one of the greatest goalscorers of all time, one of the best passers of all time and his vision is second to none. Add the pressure of doing it in front of 100000 fans week on week for over 15 years and making it look easy. He is able to do things no other player has ever done. GOAT
7:50 - Not a bad defense. Messi was faking a kick on goal, and if the player did not try to close the angle and Messi had shot the ball, he could easily score from there. The defenders have to respect that the guy could score from anywhere unless you close the angle, and Messi uses it to his advantage with all his fakes. Remember that some of these players getting destroyed are some of the best soccer defenders in the world. Oh, did I mention that he's also one of the very best passers of all time with some of the top number of assists?
Well damn lol
Correction-------he has the most assists in football history
@@joelkazibwe379by far, the second is not even close
thanks for writing this comment... I was about to right this as well . Also that angle is a really common angle for left footed players to curl the ball in top left corner so the defender had to cover it . And again these are some of the best defenders in the world so positionally they rarely make mistakes .

At 9:25 its actually not terrible goalie he went out to cut the angles and make it harder for messi, its basics you learn in 1v1 but messi opened tight angle with another step. Whenever goalie is left 1v1 with a player you cant really blame him
These goals are world class. you may have seen more flashy goals from other players but the beautiful thing about messi is that scoring goals like these is almost normal, you will be watching the game and nothing is really happening and then all of a sudden Messi does something like this.

Messi is the best in history, he is in the conversation with Maradona or Pelé, Ronaldo has more momentum from his fans, having been the two best players of the last 15 years they used to put them on the same scale, but in In reality Messi is one step above in basically everything, Ronaldo will historically be one of the 5 or 6 best in history, but Messi is definitely 1 or 2, there is a big difference there
In NBA terms: Maradona and Pelé would historically be like Jordan and Magic, Messi would be Lebron (although in this case this Lebron would surpass Jordan) and Cristiano would be something like Durant or Giannis but he would not reach the level of Jordan or Lebron, but people I would put him there just because he is a contemporary of Messi.
Well damn you know your stuff 🤙🏽💯 that’s 🔥
Completely agree with this explanation as both a football and basketball fan.
Nah bro.
More like Messi = Kobe
Ronaldo = Lebron
You cannot take away Ronaldo's 5 Ballon D'Ors, won 5 CL and being top goalscorer always. He also holds many records over Messi like being top Champions League in history with 140 goals.
BTW this is coming from a Messi fan (im southamerican). But how you lower down Ronaldo like that I believe is unfair tbh, if you look at it from a stats standpoint.
It is an anomaly that 2 of the football GOATS emerged in the same time period. Although I agree that Messi always had the edge on Ronaldo.
@@nostalgiatech9 this makes no sense, unless you’re only talking about their physical builds (Ronaldo is big and strong for a soccer player). Kobe was primarily a scorer (like Ronaldo) while LeBron is much more of an all-around player (like Messi).

Imma put it like this. The biggest thing thats ever happened in Ronaldos career was being compared to Messi at some point. But today that debate doesnt even exist anymore outside of social media. Real football heads know there was never a comparison in the first place
The problem with all the "bad defenders" and "bad goalies" is, that they get many millions, because they are the best in the world and Messi makes them loook this bad. The top payed defenders in the world honestly state that it would need 3 of them to stop Messi in beast mode.
Messi is a complete player...he can dribble, pass, score goals and everything in football.
Ronaldo is only a scoring machine
It’s crazy how the media makes Ronaldo the goat lol I haven’t really seen Messi play before reacting

For me Messi is the goat, but i don't want to spend my time to debate. Everyone can have their opinions and we just should respect both of them
Yeah I definitely feel that because I’m the same way with the Lebron & Jordan debate lol I’m a lebron fan
No there is no debate about some things. There is a reason 100% of the comments are saying the same.
That probably applies to opinions but Messi being better is just a fact/observation.
lionel messi just won his 8'th ballon d'or
Great first reaction to the 🐐. He's the player who got me interested in football. Messi is a great goal scorer but he is also a play maker, passer, dribbler, his game IQ and vision is incredible and he doesn't go down without a hell of a reason.
The videos by magicalmessi are always 🔥 as well as 47 football and Messi the Boss. Enjoy 😉
Btw Ronaldo never took the 🐐 title off Messi; the debate is definitely over since Messi won Copa America, finalissima and the world cup in 2021 and 2022 😂

Thanks a lot 💯💯 many more to come
btw, Messi never says he is the best. Humble over everything.
8:03 cuz if u look at Messi, he made it seem like he was going to shoot it that way, and that's why the defender shifted his body towards that left spot !! tbh that was some decent defending right there
8:52 i'm just gonna copy someone's comment wich I totally agree with: "the goalkeeper comes out to try and cut/reduce the angle Messi has to shoot. If he stays in the "pocket", it's much easier for Messi to score because he has a wider choice of where to place the ball. When the forward has passed the last defender, you'll always see the goalie coming out to confront him. It also puts more pressure on the forward because now he has to worry about how to pass the goalie, who now has a distinct advantage because he can use his hands..."
9:05 he wasn't taking a nap, prior to that he slid to save Messi's shot from going in... and he was hella close
And as for the Messi vs CR7 debate, look, there've been tons of legendary players in this sport, no need to name em all cuz trust me the list won't end, but the 2 players that stand on the top are Messi & CR7 for their achievements "both indivudually & collectively" wich makes em both faaaar ahead than anyone else in this game, and to compare the two Messi is most definitely better than CR7 !

-Messi with Argentina: 1 FIFA world cup, 1 Copa América, 1 Finalissima
-CR7 with Portugal: 1 Euro, 1 UEFA Nations League

Being 64, I´ve had the opportunity to watch games live on TV with Pelé, Maradona. and Messi. The three great ones. (Sorry Distefano. I´m not that old)
Pelé won 3 World Cups and played in a time when defenders could literally hunt you down. No yellow cards exited and rarely a red card was issued. There was no real training and the equipment and fields were a joke. He did play with some of the greatest national teams ever assembled.
Maradona was able to carry on his shoulders mediocre teams to greatness. What he did in Napoli is unparalleled.
Messi won everything there is to win and did so against the best-trained footballers and teams in history. Yet, he also played alongside some of the greatest players ever.
No way to determine who the GOAT is. They almost played different sports. Let´s just enjoy the game.
8:58 bruh calm down. Goalkeepers are not mannequin. They have to move, come for the ball and close the gap for player to shoot💀 Bro is blaming everyone for Messi's genius. Not eveyone can make a fool of defenders and goalies.
Messi is just Messi man, no arguments against anymore. Just Messi, the GOAT, period.
They're not terrible!
Messi is justice the best
Well I guess I’m a Messi fan now 😅😂
Bro I've been watching football for like 20 years now, and trust me, Messi is not human. No human can do what he does. Those little dribbles you described as "left-right movements" are f**king difficult. Even pro footballers can't do it on training grounds, let alone in an actual match. I won't go to the debate about Messi vs Ronaldo, because there is no debate. Messi is insane, alien, god.. whatever you want to call him.
When you're done with his goals, look at his passes, assists, and playmaking. I bet you'll be convinced he's not a human. He is a cheat code, a glitch in the matrix. His passes are more beautiful than the goals. He has, like, 1000 eyes to see what nobody can see. You can't train that! That's why there was never a debate. He made football a Picasso masterpiece.

Okay that makes sense lol I just started getting into hockey too .. Tampa bay lightening is my team since I live here
@@schuyler_reactsThanks for reading and trying to learn about the sport.... Also, when you said that the defender was wrong leaving Messi all the space for him to enter, the defender was trying to close the gap for the "usually normal next move" from an attacker in that circumstances; Shoot with his left leg to the far post. But instead, Messi did a Messi Move; "unpredictable"... You saw how many players he left on the floor, this aren't amateur players, it's just; they're against messi. Even the best defenders and goalkeepers in Messi's prime suffered.
The thing about Messi that amazes me (well, ONE of the things) is how calm he is at all times. He can be five yards from the goal, two yards from the goalie, with defenders all around, and he can still make actual decisions... he can be patient. 99.999 of players would just shoot immediately. He is just so calm, so controlled, so patient. Unbelievable. Unmatchable.

Lmaoo I’m a top tier defender 😂😂 (from the couch)
@@schuyler_reacts us bro us😭
Messi and Ronaldo are both legends of the game. However, what Messi has done cannot be compared to any others...
Ronaldo beats Messi in 3 things: Headings (goals and duels won), penalties (more goals and higher scoring percentage) and total number of goals (44 more goals in 150 more games).
Messi wins out in all other aspects: More goals per game, More G/A per game, more dribbles, more passes, more plays, more trophies...Remove penalties and suddenly Messi is the one with the highest number of goals too.
Everyone who has played with Messi say the same thing: I've never seen anyone do what he does...
Even in training he would take the ball, dribble the whole team and score when he wanted to. He makes it look so easy too against world class players.
From dribbles, passes, assists, plays, goals, freekicks, vision etc there has never been a footballer more complete than Messi. It's fairly obvious too. Like Zidane said: "I was 1s ahead of the rest, but you (Messi) are 3s ahead of everybody. The only one"
Messi has been MotM (Man of the Match) in 52-53% of ALL his games throughout his career. That is absolutely insanity...Out of 22 professional, great players on the pitch + more getting swapped in from the bench, Messi is MotM in over half of his games. What the fuck...??
All respect to Ronaldo for his work ethic and what he has been able to do over his career. He does alot of work to maintain his form. Man is definitely a legend, and one of the greatest players to ever play. Consistent as hell too! But Messi is Messi...It's hard to accurately describe his talent for football. It's just magic.
It's not easy, it's not easy at all. But only Messi can do stuff that makes you think doing something impossible is easy.
👑MESSI G.O.A.T.
Yessir 🗣🗣🗣
The 1st goal is not number one because of the commentators. It's because that goal is the mirror image of one of the best goals ever scored by one of the previous goat of the game: Maradona. It's almost like the passing of the torch.
Ohhhhh I thought it was the Goal Goal Goal Goal Goal Goal Goal 😂😂😂
@@schuyler_reacts yeah man. Us in the rest of the world who know about Maradona's goal we all went crazy when Messi literally replicated that same goal. That's why the guy went crazy, we all did. If you try to find Maradona and Messi goals you'll see it.
Ronaldo was a really good player, even haters must admit that. Almost nobody can reach his stadistics.
Having said that, Ronaldo has some major disadventages that makes Messi way better.
1) While Messi makes other players better with his passes, play, spirit... Ronaldo forces his partners no play for him He increases his stats but the partners decreise theirs. He has to shoot all the faults, all the penalties, finish all the big chances, even when he is not the best option or isn't that good at faults (he shoots stronger than Messi, but with way less accuracy). So, if we put Messi in a team with two others scorers that make 15 goals per year, both Messi and Cristiano will make 50 goals, but Messi's teammates will increase their average to 20-25+ goals, but Cristiano's will reduce it to 10 or less
2) Cristiano has a better body, so he shoots stronger and is better at headers. Also, he helps a little bit to defense. But except this points, Messi greatly surpasses him in every point of the game: assists, variety of ways to score, pass, vision of the game, strategy, sinergy with other players, technical habilities... He is too much.
Of course, it is valid to preffer Ronaldo's style over Messi style... But while Ronaldo is a scorer, Messi is a scorer, asistant, controller... He simply understands the game way better than Ronaldo or anyone else.
Ronaldo never took the GOAT title, just his fans call him that, but he is just a good striker, that's all
Bodies are just falling 😂 your reaction is 🔥
bro you can't judge messi with his scoring ability, ronaldo is a pure striker but messi is a playmaker as well as goalscorer if you really wanna see messi videos then react to "messi vs physics" you will see what messi is capable of doing and if you wanna see who is better messi or ronaldo then you should check "messi vs ronaldo best goat comparison" in that video you will get every single detail and you will know who is the goat

@@schuyler_reactsof course it's messi messi is by far better then ronaldo, no hate to ronaldo but messi is purely god gifted natural player i've ever seen, if you know football and play football then you know messi is by far better then ronaldo most trophy, most individual trophy, most goals in less games as well as most assist, messi has broke so many records and only player in history who has more ballon do'r and ballon do'r is like MVP in basketball, messi has 7 and will win 8 in 30 october just 4 days left and he has so many records i can't even say it
both are the goats cannot be compared we just have to be thankful we were able to witness 2 greatest players at the same time
most probably most of the viewers like messi more and i respect their opinion
To kick the ball like Messi does in those lobs, first you need to figure out the spin that the balls is having before you kick it and add your spin to that depending where you want it to go. All that in a split second.
Now that’s insane 👀
Messi is still doing it at 37!!! Look at his goal just recently vs Nashville United in Leagues Cup final its just brilliant that he is still amazing at an older age where most would be retired from football by now
if you're a "true" fan who have watched a lot of football or someone who just see and caompare on attributes, skills and trophies/achievements, Messi is the goat, there was a debate because Ronaldo is just 2 years older than Messi and they played at the same time, in rival teams so the media was having a blast comparing them and making drama because they were in the beginning/middle of their career and anything could have happened, but still, people who Ronaldo is the goat are people who put athleticism in the most "common" sense and goal scoring abilities before all, but it's only 2 things and even in fifa games it wouldn't be enough to say this player is better than that player
to be honest the defenders and goalies didn't really made a mistake, maybe not the best decisions also, but it's just that Messi is that good, like the goalie at 9:20 it's usual for goalies to close the distance and close the angles of attackers instead of letting him shoot (even tho in this situation it's more that Messi put the ball really far from him and the goali thought he could get there in time)
Messi is the true GOAT! He dribbles,he assists,he reads the game,he scores.
MESSI NO SE TIRABA (NO FINGÍA) CUANDO LE COMETÍAN INFRACCIONES Y ESO TAMBIÉM MARCABA UNA DIFERENCIA CON CR7 Y TODOS LOS DEMÁS
8:09
defender was pretty much forced to close down on him, as Messi is (primarily) left footed and has a killer bend shot from that angle that has meant quite a lot of goals during his career. Messi was closing in for the shot there, defender closed down to cut off the shooting angle so the ball would bounce on him when shot. It then turned out that Messi used to him in closing down to shake him off after a dribble to instead move in for the killer blow.
Had the defender not closed down, then Messi would've taken a shot he had a VERY big chance of converting...and then the defender would've been blamed on terrible defense aswell for not pressing in and trying to block the shot. As he closed in, Messi dribbled and scored instead... and he gets blamed on terrible defense because he moved in. Lose/lose; damned if you do, damned if you don't.
This is like telling a defender who fell for a Kobe Bryant's pump fake why had he jumped when KB instead dribbled past him...well, because KB had a killer shot he *had* to defend against and had he not jumped, he'd probably given away an easy bucket too. It's what great offensive players in sports do. They try to force their defender to commit to a certain defending move by threatening them with an action, and once they're locked into that, then they get destroyed when the offensive player does something completey different instead. And Messi is, far and beyond, the best football player in history at doing exactly that.
summing up: It's not terrible defending - it's that Messi is so damned skilled and has such an all around arsenal of moves, shots and dribbles that he constantly puts defenders in no win situations that, whatever they do, they get mowed down.
Messi won world cup ronaldo won banana tats the ans
😂😂 you do got a point
Pique said it best, Ronald is the best in the world, Lionel is best in the universe.
When the best defenders looks llike they're having a nap, you know how great Messi is. he's just simply the best in history of this planet
Messi is a more complete and player, he's great at passing, creating plays, his game IQ is beyond any player we've seen and by far his ball handling skills are astounding. I watched Pele, Maradona, Kempes and so many greats over the decades and no one matches Messi. He truly is the best to ever play the game,
" the guy over there taking a nap " 😂😂 bro im dead
You need to check out his dribbling and passing too
I’ll be posting his “The Goat” movie today hopefully it doesn’t get Blocked again 🙏🏽😭
9.20 everyone is good at talking, but no one understands that Messi, in those years no one could stop him
Yeah sometimes I just be talking lol especially when it comes to sports 😂
Messi is the absolute goat his dribbling his playmaking even as a winger he scored so many goals 91 goals in a season with dozens of assist 8 balondors are not just for show he has earned it his longevity winning world cup at 35 shows you how great he really is there will never be someone like messi again not in this lifetime
Messi is the GOAT. End of discussion. I've seen him live in Barcelona--absolutely love the man.
I honestly have insane respect for Ronaldo as much as i troll his fans, my guy was keeping up with Messi, the greatest player in the worlds history and i prop him for that but Messi is clear.
💯
Maradona could dribble an entire soccer team, he was an assistant and playmaker like Messi and Pele were, only Maradona was not a contemporary due to his addiction. CR7 is only a scorer, only those who don't know about football compare him with Messi or Maradona, they don't know how to differentiate that Messi is a scorer, playmaker and assister, he is complete, Ronaldo is just a scorer
Messi - 🐐 GOAT
No one even close to him💯
Damn it’s like that
Congratulations bro, you achieved what no one else could, you discovered the secret to defend Messi
It was awesome watching you engage with the game.
Messi is the reason i fell in love with football when i was 9 years old. Im 24 now. Messi is not only 1000x times better than Ronaldo. Messi is the best player ever to touch a ball on this planet.
Messi is a better playmaker and all round footballer. Ronaldo is a better striker. Messi is more decorated than any footballer in history, hence the goat. Also Messi is a pure delight to watch.
In All Football History Messi is the Goat.
Okay bet
Did you know that the #2 goal, its scientifically prove that its an imposible goal?
The thing about Messi is his mentality. As long as he can get to the ball, he won't give it up. 99% of all other players in the world would drop at the slightest touch from an opponent. But not Messi. Not as long as he even has the chance to hold onto the ball. That, his speed, ball control and agility make him the absolute number 1 in the world.
No intentes entender lo que hace messi con la pelota. El juega a otra cosa. Es increíble lo que hizo el mejor de la historia.
Messi is, by far, the best player in the world! He was described by many pundits and commentstors as the greatest player of all time from his very early age (his early 20s). Whereas Ronaldo's consistent long-term form st Real Madrid brought him that comparison with Messi. But its pretty obvious for every average observer to see that Messi is the better player by far. The stats show that. The individual accolades prove it!
You know, I get emotional thinking that there are people discovering Rony now, we used to watch him man, I wish he played in the social media age. The guy had fun, it was about the Samba, the fun, nothing about scoring. The legend, la sondrisa del Futbol
Messi has always and will always be the goat
Oh yeah 100%
If you check out more football highlights of other players in the future, you will start to appreciate Messi more. There is literally no one like him.
Messi is, and has always been the goat
What you don't got here on the video is the stage he is doing it. The 2nd goal all time here is in Copa final. The goal vs real Madrid is in UCL semi final the first goal with the head vs Manchester is in UCL final
Messi is clear ..... messi is numberc1,2 and 3❤
I think at this point we can all agree Lionel Messi of is The Best.❤
commentator was with that joy cuz HE KNEW that it was the best goal he will ever see in his entire life..
Messi is pure thing to watch every touch is incredible, Rolando is a goal machine a lot of respect for him too.
I love your reaction bro and imagine it’s only 20 of his magical goals , he’s my fav player since I was like 5 years old 22 now he’s just amazing bro best in the world also won the 2023 World Cup with Argentina👏🏾👏🏾
As a goalkeeper myself
Goalkeeper only gets one moment. Whereas other player like in midfield and forward can do many thing in field. Respect to.goalkeeper its not an easy role to be. When you concede goal goalie gets blamed. When they save its nothing. They dont even appreciate the effort. I know scoring goal is beautiful and be remembered by everyone. But I think saving ball even tho youre risking your body health for example your leg or side of your hips gets bruised when diving. And your chest when you fell down from flight. Even your nuts and head are in great danger just to save ball.
So to me I think goalkeeper are very undersappreciated and goalie are super cool to me . I love to save ball even tho I cannot save all of them. Mad respect to goalie in professional league.
11:30...When you paused the video "he's the goat"😂😂😂
When you said "Yeah, we get it" about the "Gol Gol Gol" comment, I thought "No bro, you don't get it".
The goal he scored was like an almost perfect copy of a goal scored by Diego Maradona at the 1986 World Cup, which was voted the goal of the century. So what this guy saw was not an ordinary goal, nor was it a beautiful goal. It was a replica of the goal of the century, scored by a 19-year-old boy. It was the moment when everyone woke up to the possibility of seeing a new goat, which until then had been either Pele or Maradona.

Messi is the best for his longevity. For me personally, Dinho is the greatest to ever touch a football. The thing with Dinho is that he dominated the game for about 4 years, winning virtually everything. Then he didn’t take care of himself physically so he started to fall off. But for those 3-4 years, he was an absolute magician
I am writing this text with the utmost respect for Ronaldo. I don’t remember Ronaldo passing through 5-6 opponent players like pillars through strength, power, technique and dribbling. Yes, he also scored a lot of goals, and many of them were decisive, but Leo is GREAT! God created him specifically for this game,
and I am incredibly happy that I saw many matches with these goals live and personally witnessed these greatest goals! Low bow to you Messi!
