Prime messi or prime ronaldo?

Was never a question if you know ball

Maturity is when you realise messi doesn't have a prime

@Yann1010 I think he's trying to say he's always been so good that he's always in his prime.
Fact
Man is always in his prime
He has different versions.
For those of you who don't have a frame of reference about how crazy 91 goals in one calendar year is: previous season, Haaland and Mbappe scored 102 goals combined 😂
Messi is also the only player who has more than hundred (118) 10/10 rating... Again for your frame of reference: CR7 is in 2nd place with 38

2019 Messi is the most unreal player I have ever watched, he is arguably his most complete that year
Complete truth, better than any player, best playmaker, best freekick taker, best dribbler, best goal scorer
Messi 14/15 was actually more complete, but Messi 18/19 is together with 10/11, 11/12, 12/13 and 14/15 the best Messi season
2019 Messi actually carried an elite club such as Barcelona BY HIMSELF ALONE. He was a one man army that season and I don’t think I’ll ever see another guy carry an entire club in a team game.
He was insane that season. Legendary carry level.
2014/15/16 Messi was peak
I used to be recommended “Messi highlights this season” and it would still be him in his prime. Now its “how good was messi in his prime”. I want time to stop asap before my goat retires 😭😭😭
I still remember being in high-school in 2007, when my buddy from from the soccer team was like, "have you heard of Messi? And he pulled up a youtube highlight reel that left my jaw on the floor.
@@SuperLvdrmy dad was a manchester united fan so from when i was really young i was a ronaldo fan, but in 2010 i found out about messi (through my dads hate for him from the 2009 ucl finals) and i was in love ever since 🤣

Prime Messi? What form of Messi is actually PRIME Messi? I personally cannot choose a single period of time from his career which would come into the category of prime Messi. He's the only player who's been in his prime his whole career so far
Hehehe always plays very well in every match
Before watching: Imo prime Messi was injured in 2013 and 2015 is the most complete version of him. 2012 was obviously his statistical highlight but 2015 Messi could have won CL with about every team
To me 2019 was the most complete version of Messi.He could score,create,assist, playmake n provide creativity deep from the midfield like a 6,his dribbling was almost 19 yr old Messi mode.He literally dragged n carried that weak dysfunctional barca team but it wasn't just enough,the team let him down.From that year is when Messi transitioned into the leader that he is today.
There is nothing like prime Messi, if there’s Messi he is just simply Messi 🙌
He was unplayable, a cheat code, freak of nature, slippery as an eel, a jolt of electricity, his IQ, his positioning which I think is underrated, the 1-2 passes that were had to intercept, he could make a bad passer seem like a good assist provider, his fearlessness to take on anybody, he was the one running up to defenders and you'd see defenders shaking at their knees when they saw him coming. Boy! was he awesome.
Prime Messi would consistently dribble past 3+ defenders and score almost every match
Messi has like 3 or 4 different primes, all different from each other but each spectacular. The undeniable GOAT of football
Prime Messi was 2017-2020. He was not only scoring but also dictating and playmaking. I remember La Liga stats every season had Messi at the top of the lists. The only stats he didn't top were defensive stats
2014/2015 season of messi was the best version of a player ever seen in football history
Bro 2011 had more than 100 goal contributions
Then you haven’t watched enough football
@@CHUGJUGPRO no he didn’t lol
@@alurianirudh1918 who’s better
@@pkay4405I’d argue 2018/19 he was more complete. Almost singlehandedly won Barcelona a treble that year
Which prime are we talking about? He was crucial from 2009 all the way up to right now. That's how insanely great Leo is. The guy evolves and ages like fine wine in his career. Consistently improving his football quality and maintaining it at a level only he himself can touch. That's why he is The God of Football
The best of all time and its not even close. And I’m a Real Madrid fan believe or not, but it is what it is.
The 2010/11 Messi with the orange shoes was on a level of his own, nobody touched that level, the carnage and havic he cost too whole defenses was a beautiful thing to watch, his dribbling was elusive and unstoppable, yet it wasn't his most complete version, but it certainly was his most feared and most unstoppable version

❤❤wow this is astronomical
You need to ask the question how good Messi was when he was angry. Thats the scariest Messi
That's 2008-2012.
Imagine Messi 2012 goal machine in 2022 wc final! He would absolute cook in that match. For me ucl isn’t everything cuz it’s a team achievement at the end of the day whole team needs to function, if we talk just about Messi his prime is 07-19, but still after his prime he is the best
messi will forever be the best, the greatest to ever touch a football in the universe, if the fact that he has the most ballon d'ors and a world cup, and he has also scored 91 goals in a calendar year. If this doesnt convince you he is the greatest on plant Earth then you might wanna rethink of the choices you made in your life
Messi in his prime made video game numbers seem almost pedestrian. Where 35+ league goals could somehow seem like he had an off year. Football didn't feel real for a couple of seasons. Probably the most ludicrous thing about the sheer numbers he put up was that it made the unbelievable numbers that CR7 put up seem believeable somehow. 50 league goals in 37 games by Messi almost made you forget that before him and CR7 came along, scoring 38 goals in a single la liga season was the absolute peak of goalscoring prowess in Spain. In a few short years, scoring more than a goal a game became not just possible, but expected. We will never see anything like it again. I can quite safely say that for sure.
i dont think prime messi should be a term this man has been the absolute best in the world since 2009 till date. its a disrespect to assign the word prime to a player of this maginitude
Nah can’t messi knew he was destined to be the best, but he’s humble about it. His dream was to win the World Cup and he did.
Messi's most complete years was 2017-18 and 2018-19 seasons carrying barcelona on hes back
He was so good that whenever he played I used to tell my cousin's, Barcelona cannot lose 😊
the most chilling fact about messi is.. he's in his prime even now. the guy is evolving, showcasing different skillset needed to win a game. proved it on 2022 world cup and even winning inter miami's first trophy.
Ankara messi😂❤💙... I liked that comment SAF hands shaking like shakiras waist😂😂😂😂😂
His best seasons were 2011 2015 2019 2012 best pure goal scoring year 2018 is damn underrated too
lol there's nothing underrated about Messi, he's perfectly rated
Forget stats he's just amazing to watch...I know I'll tell my grandkids about this little magician what a time to be alive
I love C.Ronaldo, after all i am portuguese but there is just no denying what messi has done and shown he’s the best i’ve ever seen and there’s NO comparison he’s a genius and the greatest to play the game 🐐
Prime Messi is the most complete player in history of Football ❤❤❤
He's definitely going to break some records in the MLS
Lmao
Maybe attendance records. I'm a major fan but he doesn't have the quality of teammates as he did in euro. So he has to do a lot more at an older age is tuff. Now I wouldn't be surprised if he did hit a couple records but it will be harder..
He is... One player we should never doubt is Messi. He has been doing the impossible for as long as I have known him.
It was definitely something that will only happen once in my lifetime.
He was that good that a video cannot show how good he was...
I will never forget messi 2009-2013
Bro ate burgers and pepsi every day but still dropped 91 goals per season
He's always at his best
Prime Messi is untouchable
10 days 60,000 viewership 3weeks 170,000 viewers EVIDENCES OF HIS GREATNESS😮 YOUR CR7 VIDEO NOT CLOSE
Still don't know how he pulled that WC performance after all these years.. Madness
18/19 Messi was all stats on max
he was so good the opposition wasn't even mad when he scored.
Messi had 8 ballon dor
You know it's coming to an end when videos pop on prime messi. Messi was in his prime his whole career!
2008 - 2019 was his best full years
this youtuber is underrated
His prime years are behind him. But the beast has yet to retire.
"That GOD of football" ~ Jose Mourinho ( Portuguese football coach)
It's good to remind all those who are jumping on the bandwagon after he won the world cup and joined MLS why he is the GOAT. Now he's in his late 30s and shows occasional flashes of genius, but at his prime you could count on him producing wtf moments on a weekly basis. He dominated the sport like no other player in history.
He needs more subs 😊
If Messi stays injured free this year, and Inter Miami let's him spend more time in the box (instead of always recuperating the ball), he will bag more than 50 goals in the MLS. 👑💪

Get off his meat
Ankar Messi!
Argentina really ruined the possibility of having 4+ world cups (at least 2 with Messi) by having Maradona as their coach when he knew nothing about coaching.
The fact that messi a midfielder scores 830 goals is insane
dude, he's a false 9🗿🗿🗿
Messi playing in his prime since day 1
I liked the build up to his prime, before we got used to how amazing he was, when he would do crazy shit and it blew your mind. I especially liked the "I'm going to chip the ball over the goal keeper" era
18/19 was the prime. That was the messi that actually carried Barca.
18/19 Messi almost carried a broken Barca to a treble (no Xavi, no Iniesta, no Neymar)
Use the word how GOOD is still a cute thing to say to both messi and ronaldo, they are something too superior that we'll never see more. They 're some thing we have to call unique and one of the kind , cuz ain't nobody will ever come close too their league, even when their not in prime time or fallen yet , they make everyone look normal.
Most trophies in football Most goal contributions in football Most assists in football Most ballon d'ors Most golden boots Most goals for a club Most goals in europe Most man of the match awards Most intl player of the tournament awards Most world cup golden balls
PRIME??? Messi is infinite
Messi and Ronaldo were monster's in their prime
explosive, precise, technical, visionary
7:25 is insane. the creativity on this dude
pretty sure this is ai
it def is
what's crazy about him is he did it for for 15 years non stop, never missed once. Do you thing we will be talking about mbappe in 2034? I don't think so
If Messi would have played in Europe now he would still be the best player, if it's not from goals so from the highest level of playmaking and very good goalscoring as well
If the ballon dor was fair, he should have had 10
Goat by far
The little boy from Rosario ❤
2019 Messi was the most deadliest version of messi,
He didn't just go through the entire Getafe defense. At the time that was the best defense in La Liga.
2011-2012 was prime Messi
I’m pretty sure Messi had like 112 goal contribution in 2012 which is insane considering some teams didn’t even get that many goals in 2012. It’s so crazy that people don’t think Messi is literally the best forward of all time since he has done everything better than anyone else has at one point. I mean I don’t even see Mbappe or Haaland getting to 65 goals in a season. The successors to the last era are just a fake copy. Even though they don’t have the flair anymore, and are based on being fast, strong and only scoring they probably won’t get close.
No one can be compared to prime Messi. No one.
@kickVerse - Hi bro.I subscribed to see videos about Barcelonas past or today.I wish you make more videos
Messi 16/17 left the chat
Holy 🤯
Want the definition of greatest player??? Winning the golden boot and a playmaker in a single season itself define greatness 🤷
Messi and Ronaldinho forever ❤
Not only was his goal scoring insane, he was also leading in assists at a time when you had players like Özil and Iniesta in the league
Just how good was Prime Messi is the definition of a rhetorical question Vome to think of it his worst form was still nothing lacking Excellence
There's never been a prime Messi. Messi is always in his element, always!
2019 Messi was special, he carried that below average side to a CL quarter final, and had ANY of his teammates showed up in the second leg, he probably woulda battered Tottenham in that final lol bro was a menace
my bad, semi final
THE greatest EVER
Ankara Messi
mate, Im spanish and I dont know what team is real valenzano. 09:27
If stats are anything to go by, the fact that he has won most man of the match awards tells a story of the best of the best of the best.
Truly a god amongst men
Prime Messi is crazyyyy
God bless ❤❤❤ Messi
Messi should be a term name of a state which comes after prime.
Every season Messi is in a new prime
Messi 4th prime is better than any other player in this era
I think the video does Messi a disservice because the sheer incredibility of what he has done isnt captured. He was competing with Ronaldo in goals while also being the major creative force for the team especially since 2016
