Gosh, what I would give to have been a football fan earlier in my life so that I could have watched these Barcelona players when they still had the young legs. Messi, the greatest to ever play, ever. Not a debate.
I agree
Mate there's a debate in that regard, as you said, ur newly football fan, we have so much talent through the decades that's just hard to settle in one player.
[RONALDO] has entered the chat … the only and true 🐐
@@lalovasquez2247😂😂😂 I know you are no older than 15
@@iagocastelobranco3851 I may not have been a long time foot ball fan but I'm not a new born baby. Anybody who says Messi is not the GOAT is either blind, delusional or a fking dumb. Even players and managers say that he is, it's his peers that says he is, the opinions of people who has never played pro football doesn't matter, you watch from the couch for a reason.
18 years watching Messi and i can't stop thinking he's not from this planet. Messi does thing in every game that almost any player cant do on their entire career.
I have watched him for so many years, paid monthly for TV channel to watch him, prayed for him for each single game, laughed and cried in each single game he played.
cringe
I’ve always said Ronaldo is the best in the World but that’s only because Messi isn’t from this planet. Messi is the best in my opinion

Saw messi play in Barcelona in 2019 in the 2019-20 La Liga Season. Magical player! Watching him play is like a spectacle! Lionel Andrés Messi is also my favourite player of all time together with Ronaldinho 🇧🇷🇦🇷🔟🔟💯🤙⚽🙌
One of the best versions of Messi 🔥
@@eddiechonch yeah for sure 💯! His second to last season at Barcelona aswell. I was so hyped before the game/match, it was FC Barcelona versus Real Valladolid on the 29th of October in 2019 i believe. Barcelona won 5-1. Messi scored two goals and had two assists, including a free kick from distance. One of the best Messi games aswell imo, especially considering i saw it live 😂😊💯👍🇦🇷🔟
Messi came, Messi assisted, Messi conquered - MLS, you've been Messi-merized! 🐐⚽
Just like the french league when he was at PSG
Inter Miami played a crappy game in the second half. Yet, Messi was again the game-changer factor. Now, every team in MLS will look forward to play against the best player in the world. No matter how old he is, Messi makes our eyes stick to the TV and our hearts stop a beat when he touches the ball. GOAT!
Facts
Minor League Soccer (MLS) is not football, it just sucks. Has-been footballers and mediocre players only create a mediocre league. Grow your own from birth and not from money bought has been players.
@@nunzionapoli6325yet Messi is there? And he’s the grestest futbol player to ever live. He’s not a has been. Next time show some intelligences instead of hatred
@@ariici Has been... too old for professional football.

MESSI GOAT 🐐
Messi is the most Impactful and Influential player that has ever been in America
Facts
David Beckham???
Influential is a stretch. He's the most popular not influential. He's influential in other parte of the world not América they don't know Messi
Agree by far
You can ask anyone in Alabama if they know who Messi is. Not one person will know. lol
Happy to say have been watching Messi his his 2006 WC debut. Even though I was wearing a Tevez jersey as a kid.
Messi show🔥
That defence of the early freekick is madness, I've never seen that before ever.
Messi may run slower now but his passes are still timed very well.
Messi has 2 assist in this game Pure playmaker 🎉
Messi 1 assist 1 Suarez
One assists but involved in second
1.
1 assist, but set the other one in motion
1 assist. He inspired the other goal, just another example of why you can't measure a player by stats alone.
Master class from the little man. GOAT staff !!! ❤❤❤ Messi...
We don’t appreciate how good we have it. Messi will go down as the greatest of all time. What a player 😢😆
Leo❤❤❤
don't see a foul? He pushes him from behind before making contact with the ball.
Exactly
Bruh like it was a pretty clear foul
The goat
🐐❤️
Messi
man they had to go old school to defend the gem of a free kick.
If the defender wasn't there, it looks like it would have gone in. Good call from the opposition.
@@i_jetlag it would idk how messi would miss
@@i_jetlag ye
it just goes to show they actually don't respect anyone on that miami team except for messi lmfao. a few players with a good shot in that box and a messi pass to them is going straight in the net

Welcome to the MLS lol
who need tap in merchant, Messi will score beautiful goal..Just need patience
Looool it’s mls buddy, only washed player go here.
they need good defenders
Did you see how many chances mbappe wasted from Messi passes? Nothing difficult or problematic, just easy, one touch finish, in your stride passes. Kylian likes to try flamboyance when it's not required.

AT 7 YR OF AGE MESSI WAS DRIBBLING BY EVERY OTHER KID IN HIS NEIGHBORHOOD .....SCORING 10GOALS A GAME AGAINST 10 -12 TEAMS...... HE WAS THE SMALLEST , SKINNIEST , YOUNGEST BOY ON HIS TEAM TILL BARCELONA RECCRUITED HIM . THIS MAN IS TRULY A ONCE. IN A LIFETIME PHENOMENA !!!!! ERES UN PHENOMENO LEO .

What a keeper. 😂
People who say that Messi is not the GOAT = People who havent seen him play at all
I’ve seen him play since he started playing with Barca academy and still now and I can tell you with full confidence that he isn’t that good. He’s pure hype and pure luck. Cristiano Ronaldo is the G.O.A.T 🙌🏻💥🏆💥😤

Suarez Pass was amazing. No one expected this Power Ball shooting man at the penalty spot to pass the ball so fast lol
literally just did a tap pass
@@jeolopez876 bro the least expected pass of all time lol
They've missed easily another 3 minutes of highlights
I though will include when He was running leaving RSL team behind
IM needs to get it's defense together, They are all over the place, It's a long season,
Ballon D’or for that performance😂
“That’s not a foul” bro literally pushed him from behind 🤨🤨
Muggy side commentator, taking about verticals and seams? Next it will be 'look at the A gap in the wall' for the free kicks. Espn, take notes from CBS
I see two major issues with Miami. Their defense is horrible and their entire offense runs through Messi.
I see two different things than your: 1. The problem with Inter Miami is mid-field, not defense. Busquet is genius but he's old (he made many mistakes in this game). Inter Miami's mid-field is like ...no mid-field at all in the second half. 2. Messi is just a big link in a tiki-taka style that Inter Miami tried to apply. They tried to play fast and short pass. This style of football is not easy because if a player makes a mistake, the game will turn upside down immediately. Ball controlling technique must be 100% perfect. Inter Miami was lucky in the yesterday game. They made so many mistakes, yet they still got away with that. I hope they won't repeat those mistakes in the next games. Otherwise, they will pay a huge price.
How much Messi getting for the Season?
People who talked about Inter Miami's friendly matches don't know nothing about football/soccer, that is why they call it "pre season". The only value of these matches have is to see each player's performance, analyze strategies and prepare for the real competition.
True, but despite me being a Messi fan, Inter Miami couldn’t have won against Al nasr due to the quality of player’s they have in contrast to Miami’s
In short, even Messi needs a decent supporting cast to win games and not just impact cause 9/10 he’s gonna create some magic
whatttt..messis playing in the MLS? in the US??!!?
old news
welcome back from the dead man
The best player in history in such a bad team... An incredible contrast. Despite everything, it is very enjoyable..
Suarez's legs are gone.
Im sorry but how does one team have messi suarez jordi alba and busquets?
Get Xavi, Pique, Puyols and Iniesta out of retirement and recreate the Barca golden years team.
@@madhavyuno men, as much as we wish it, that couldn't happen 'cause the majority of them doesn't have the physical condition 😢
Messi dribbling them like its nothing at the age of 36. How can he dribble like a playstation character?How?
Missing plays here
😊
Suarez can barely run anymore lol 😂
I still have some faith he'll do gold in this final season of his career I mean look what he did in gremio 😢
Suarez genius is at the way he senses what happens in the field. The second goal couldn't be done without Suarez. He ran parallel with Messi to create a duo attack, and at the same time, he knew there were so many defenders surrounding him, he passed the ball without thinking to the third player who didn't have any man-mark. The whole scenario happened just in a few seconds. Messi asked Suarez to join Inter Miami for some reason.
@@ThuyNguyen-zi5jy you’re totally right lmao 🤣 does not take the fact that my 15 year old brother runs faster than him. You totally missed my comment brother 😂 love for Messi can blind people
Taylor Twellmans' dislike of Messi is evident.
We’re going to be watching future matches in Spanish thanks to him.
maradonaaa
The MLS is doing a terrible job of keeping us updated. Didnt he already make his regular season debut last year?? This is just opening day not messis debut, hes played multiple games
This is a new season it’s 2024
MLS is 🗑️
Pliz ...cr7 fans watch the Goat messi if u r normal u can say who is the best cr7 is nothing to compare with messi ..cr7 is popular cos of their teammate assist he can only score nothing else ..but the Goat messi he can do everything ...neymar,mbape,halland..u can compare with cr7 but not the Goat Messi..three of them are also better than cr7
So he really stayed huh.
He need on diet😂
You expected him to leave after the 2023 season finished? 😂
@@Spheterix yeah mls is the shittiest league in the world.
@estebancuatro5679 lol that's what everyone says around here 😂
Messi is bad now back then he would've just gotten up and tell the ref no yellow or freekick
The Hormone dwarf, Messi = Lance Armstrong
😮Ookooko😮😅
Good god the quality of football is worse than League Two where Wrexham play..A remotely competent goalkeeper would have saved the shot from the first goal.
You must be new to the MLS. I’ve seen better at a hs game. A mostly Hispanic high school of course.
ok ,china league is number 1 .
OUT OF Shape Messi
They will always cry against ronaldo
yeah, like at the World Cup, where Ronaldo pretended like he scored that goal, then was benched for the rest of the tournament.
Messi is is him, but that first play was definitely not a penalty
It's a free kick not a penalty, the defender push him to the ground
Clear push in the back, Messi never just dives.
Gressel is so annoying 😭😭
He's trash
Omg!! Inter Miami defence is Too WEAK like kids defence, the team will not win anything like that
first
Sad
Penaldo wouldn't make the starting lineup on any MLS team. 🤷♂️
He made it on your moms tho 😂 he would absolutely demolish this league may I remind you what happened when Miami played Al nassr without Ronaldo 😂😂😂 take your L
he would not visit America bro lest he would be behind bars. 🫨
Pessi fans 😂
The sheep himself 😤
MLS 😂😂😂
Jesus Christ loves you all
We'll be in paradise if we believe in him
Like watching LeBron against High Schoolers 😂
American commentators are soóóo annoying. 😆 In the 6...in the 18...haha
Bruh...europe misses his magic... These new cats are soo average and overrated
That goalie is horrible.
Watched the game live.I've seen better skill levels in a Sunday pub game.Messis face during the game said it all.Truly awful.
🤡🤡
🤮🤮🤮🤮
Washed
😐
watch the game lil bro, just because he was unlucky in front of goal today doesn't mean anything.
And this is why MSL soccer isnt respected. Messi is like 500 years old and dominating. MSl teams would be Div 2 in England, maybe Div 1. No way they could compete in the championship league.
What are you gabbling on about? Messi is only 36 and hasnt had major injuries-he looks sharp still. Modric was one of the best midfielders in the world at 36. Gomez, Saurez and Messi would run rings around many championship league defenses. Its not the 1990s, MLS teams are full of very fast and skillful players tbh.
Messi is the best he does this everywhere he goes
@@basedboys17not in league 1
there goes another dellulu. So Messi being centrpiece in the WC win a year ago must have been fictional 😂
I have no idea why you came here to give such a comment. Messi is not 500 years and Inter Miami is not dominating anything. Inter Miami doesn't care of competing in CL for now. What they are doing this season is to perform a new style of football to MLS. If they can win some trophy, it will help to promote the sport in the US. If they can't win any trophy, at least they entertain the fans, and they enjoy themselves as well. If you don't think it's a joy to watch Inter Miami now, go find some team in Europe to watch.
Twellman is awful
Pessi the trashboy from Barcelona 🤣

God American soccer is so terrible. Messi looks like a grown man playing with a bunch of preschoolers.
Messi finally fell off
In terms of pure football, CR7 > Messi for sure. Messi luckily, is favored by the media and those money groups. You know how he won the World Cup and the America Cup hehe. All the leagues change the rules for him and give him free penalties. Messi, You a soft guy than CR7. You are never a goat on top of CR7. Don't ever talk to me about the accolades that the whole world was helping you to get.
Lol the media was forcing Ronaldo to be the best player in the world even though kaka was at the time then Messi came out of nowhere and took that title from him lol if you wanna talk about the media go watch the media spoon feeding us the Ronaldo is the best player in the world crap every game he played from 07-09
darn the kiddo is too young to know the hype behind Cr7 was produced by the screetching Brit media to compete against the talents produced by Spain. The money trail goes deep behind his business. Part time footballer big time businessman.
Ronaldo was good, Messi is the best of all time. If anyone was propped up by media was the one playing on England, as is always the case. There's no comparison between a couple great seasons and a once in a century talent
Scripted comment by a minion.
You’re an idiot
A yellow for that tangle on Messi is a joke. Sham MLS already showing what a joke it is giving out preferential treatment. Laughable nonsense. I love Messi and agree Opponents should be dissuaded from kicking him off the pitch but that's a friggin joke.
