The story began with curiosity and passion for a ball, and turned into a story of a great talent, stuck in a limited body, striving to prove himself and his abilities.
it's a story of mental and physical development together. a story of a young man who wants to please his countrymen after leaving them to achieve his dreams.
This is the story of the beginning of Lionel Messi's career, and how he ascended to the top of Football.
From Rosario and his small footsteps at Grandoli and Newel''s Old Boys, to his trip to Barcelona and his development within the famous La Masia academy. From gaining confidence under manager Frank Rijkaard, to blossoming into the best player in the world under manager Pep Guardiola.
All of this and more will be covered in this lengthy episode.

Hey guys, this is my attempt in documenting Lionel Messi's beginnings as a footballer until the 2010 World Cup. I hope the wait was worth it. Enjoy the episode! To support the channel through Patreon: www.patreon.com/balon
I'm pretty sure it was
This is an attempt. Well then I want to see the actual work sir 🙂🙂🙂. Good job as usual. Ps: which apps did you use for all your documentary showings?
Overrated player of all time.... hormone injections great players around This guy is the son of fifa ...no soft point for a rigged player
@@ankanmukherjee4572 random casual calls him overrated...., legendary footballers call him the GOAT
@@ernestaddo9578 I believe he said he used Sony Vegas, After Effects and Premiere Pro. Not entirely sure tho
“I get the feeling if he learns this game a bit more, He’ll be unplayable at times” …. Statement of the century
Haters say,Messi is fifa golden boys..but little did they know,how he start,is not all paradise and rainbows.His determinations is just above any other players.
Don't mind them lol😂
messi had help,ronaldinho xavi iniesta support him, now look at goat ronaldo start, he suffer way more than messi and did not even needed help😂😂😂
@@xocovid1989😂😂😂😂😂😂 🐪🐪🐪🐪🐪🐪
@@xocovid1989ur dumb asf messi started his career with ronaldinho and great players becasue he played good and had to work hard to get to that point so did ronaldo was in sporting for a bit then moved to manchester united were he was amzing and still didnt win anything in his first years until like 2007 to 2008 he started winning shit
@@xocovid1989 LMAO did he tell u that
The greatest thing Messi has is his humbleness. I have seen so many players with high potential failing on big stages. They got fame and money, they wasted their talent.
Week in, week out, year in, year out. Messi did magical things in every single game of his career. I will have to readjust my standards after he retires because nobody will come close, let alone surpass him.
Definitely
Part 2 from 2010 to his World Cup glory would be epic.
It’s not really balon’s style but I would like to see it as well
اتفق مع معك سيكون عاطفي
This is actually the greatest Messi documentary I have seen ever in my life. So eager for the 2nd part. Please don't delay it 🙏❤️
I'd imagine that unless he's done the entire research and work at once and split it, this will take some time. Just look at the level of quality
Best to release part 2 when Leo finally retires.
@@Tunde....Ballack and i’m pretty sure he does it by himself
What?? It's kind of crap! His voice is awful and it's just him talking
@@dondamon4669 his voice is literally one of the best ive ever heard what are you talking about 😭😭😭 and the graphics are amazing
Finally, so hyped to watch this, hopefully there will be a part 2 once my GOAT retires. Always amazed on storytelling and just the editing so gooddd
THE GOAT
THE GOAT
"my goat" sounds so cringe 😬
The GOAT
Dont say my goat that is wrong say "The Goat" Messi is the undisputed Goat
I come from a basketball crazy country. During the pandemic, I was converted - from being a basketball addict to football fanatic- and it's all because of messi. Now, when I watch messi documentaries like this and everytime they show years of messi's greatness, it's funny how I always try to recall what I had been doing with my life during those times and questuin the universe why I'd been introduced to football so late... How I wish I could watch his game live before he retires.. 🙏🙏🙏
Same. 😳
Come to Miami! I also started watching football because of Messi. It’s incredible that he is in my country, playing for my home team in the MLS. We are very lucky to have him here. I wish I had watched him back in his Barcelona days, or even watched the 2022 World Cup. Well, I got into football late, but better late than never, because Messi is still playing! Age 36 and he is still scoring goals, now for Inter Miami.
@@TokyoBlue587 Miami Messi isn’t even close to Barca Messi
You had The Rock and Stone Cold.. don’t be greedy 😂
I stopped watching football when Maradona retired and started watching again when I saw Messi! I am still watching little genius make magic!
Messi's story is truly inspirational & cinematic. We are blessed to be alive in his era because we won't see another player like him ever again. The Undisputed God of Football.
They said same about Maradona and pele
@@PenduLover02 They may have but no one comes close to Messi & that's a fact.
@@suyezlee6650 Nothing's a "fact" and saying no one comes close to Messi, is a deluded statement, presumably you're young. That's exactly what they said about all the legends, Di Stefano, Puskas, Pele, Maradona, Zidane, R9 and so on and so forth when they retired. So, his point still stands.
@@suyezlee6650 Obviously you don't understand football then. There are greats of different eras. Singling out one player is ignorant, so don't do it.
@@dj71162 Exactly.
One of if not THE most underrated channels on youtube. Another Balon maserclass.
Leo was already a legend in 2010 after his 2nd Ballon'dor He currently has: 7x Ballon'dor( probably an 8th this season) 7x Fifa The Best 6x Golden Boot 5x IFFHS Playmaker 77 Individual Awards 41 Trophies Not only is his stats out of this world but his style of play is Godlike, literally... THE GREATEST TO EVER DO IT🌟🌟🌟
100 Balon d’ors cannot describe how great he is
8th is not justified at all though. It's basically being given for winning the WC...a WC where 5/7 goals were penalties and he was at most, the 2nd best player in the final (Mbappe was a beast). Otherwise he's in 1 of the least competitive leagues in Europe & crashed out UCL early
@@MikeMike-ms1ns cannavaro won the ballon d'or in 2006 and r9 in 2002 cuz they won the world cup and u didnt say anything about them. Neither of them won the ucl the year they won their respective d'ors
@@MikeMike-ms1ns He definitely deserve it's the last piece to complete his career and the one thing that the media always mock him about is the world cup now that he has won it it's just an 7 game 🤦🤦🤦
@@MikeMike-ms1ns not sure you watched Messi in the world cup. Firstly he scored 3 open play goals and 4 penalties while also dropping 3 assists. He might have been the second best in the final no doubt but overall he was by far the best in the tournament. Carrying Argentina by creating numerous chances for his teammates, mind you nobody created more chance than Messi at the world cup. Watch matches against Australia and Croatia in the world cup he was a beast. Mbappe scored 2 penalty goals and 6 from open play with France team being more compact all round than Argentina. Put mbappe in Argentina and see if he is getting a goal with Argentina that can't create chances without Messi's input
Messi's story is just perfect. Everything about it is incredible. From him leaving the national team only to return and finally win the world cup, to having a world class player in the same era only to constantly crush him and show him levels..
Messi come, Messi struggled, Messi conquered.. You only can see some one like this in fantasy but Leonel Messi is give you goosebumps and will make haters fall in love with his football
There were many great players like Maradona, Pele, Johan Cruyff, Maldini, Zidane, Ronaldo R9..and there will be many great players in the future but..none will ever come close to Lionel Andrés Messi 🙏 Leo Messi is a player who was is and will always be unparalleled, his skills and records are unrepeatable and as a footballer Lionel Andrés Messi was, is and will be the UNDISPUTED GOAT of the game 🐐👑🙏
Lol ..Ask Messi to take an almost relegation team to title like Napoli. He u always failing in Champions league again and again. World Cup ..yaa...in an era of pens.
@@user-bi5nw4vp6t you are taking about an era where a crucial WC final winning goal could have been scored with your hand and the refs didn't even bat an eye !!
@@messiisgoat007 Makes no sense. Tackles were 5 times harder. And it was not attack friendly. Messi play in weak era and has almost no one to challenge.
@@user-bi5nw4vp6t Messi lives in a weak era !! Are you for real dude. Now technology is so advance that they can spot an offside goal by whiskers, Messi is the most fouled player, you haven't seen how Pepe and Ramos used to treat Messi. And this WC penalities were awarded to not only Argentina, but almost all the teams, it's in their rule books. The moment you said Messi lives in a weak era, that very moment I realised that you have zero knowledge about football, so no point in continuing this debate with you !!
@@messiisgoat007 The only one who doesn't know about football is you. First go and watch old highlights and tackles. Nowadays they protect forwards ,, but in 80's and 90's football was rough with huge tackles. Diego Maradona was the most fouled player in WC. The old era was difficult
Is it embarrassing that I almost shed a tear from the outro, I just really miss seeing messi play day in and day with barcelona :_)
20:48 The guy wearing #4 for Argentina is Lionel Scaloni, the current manager of Argentina
You cannot watch him play . . And not be amazed . We think it’s just the people in the stands who are amazed . But people need to understand . . The players against him and with him were amazed too . Left speechless almost when trying to talk about him in interviews after games . . From Coaches , to players , to the stands . . Everyone was amazed . What an absolute legend .
Statisticaly speaking and out of experience (watching since mid80s) it's unlikely to see another Messi in the next 30 years or so. His "God given" craftiness added to his decision making ability is extremely rare. Great video as always
He's actually a cheat code. He's so great that he's actually become underrated in how great he is. A victim of his own success.
I think for everything to line up like it has is even less likely than that… there’s just nothing left to desire. Greatest goalscorer, greatest playmaker, greatest dribbler… sounds like an incredible player that might have been on top for 3-5 years right…? Oh wait, he’s been doing that for 18 YEARS… He has the most assists in history, so I guess he might be lacking in goals… oh, he has almost 800 goals… He has every club and international trophy there is to have, and 2 wc golden balls, 7 ballon dors, 6 european golden boots. The only football player to ever win the laureus sports award. How can anyone possibly match this magic which such longevity and versatility…🤯 You couldn’t write it
@@marco3391 Beautifully stated.
@@Fahim321 I agree his a victim of his own success 👍
@@Fahim321 couldn't agree with you more if I tried. His standards he himself has set are so absurdly alien that it's considered 'poor' for him to be anywhere close to the next best.
There will NEVER be another Messi, truly one of a kind & the greatest of all time! 🔥
Pele
I was just saying the same: Pele was at his time the best, then we had Cruiff, Diego Maradona , now we (still) have Messi. I think it is impossible to compare one genius with an other one. All of them are in a very special class, but still individuals. Hardly ever a defenders or goal keepers are mentioned as genius players.
@@pontiuspilatus7900 I think you are correct to highlight those four players. They are the best ever.
- Recuerda mi nombre : Leo Messi. That line hits hard
*I was born in an era when Messi plays football and I watched him play. He was the best and undisputed GOAT.*
Not undisputed though
Greatest of all time 🐐🇦🇷
As a futbol fan I still feel anger at Pekerman for leaving Leo on the bench…I saw how he changed the game against Mexico…the whole world was waiting for him to come on against Germany…Argentina seemed like the strongest team, Leo could have won two WC ‘s
As a Ronaldo big fan, this is masterpiece as always
🤢 🤮 🤮 🤮
@@yesmyninja6850 ?
I would be a ronaldo fan too if he wasn't a rapist.
@@yesmyninja6850 wtf???
as a messi fan id like to say the video on ronaldo was a masterpiece as well
23:35 this is the difference between eras. Look at Mbappe, look at other nation teams and look at them playing 17, and 18 year olds in important World Cup matches or euros or Copa America matches. Messi was most definitely better if not equal to these players having chances in this big nations. But the fact that he wasn’t played because of the hierarchy system in football at the time was a massive mistake on the coaching staff. Seriously you can say: “he was young and didn’t have experience” but look at Mbappe, look at pedri, Gavi, and etc. Messi was good and he was game changing. This is really why I hate people even comparing Messi and Ronaldo to the likes of Haaland and Mbappe. Messi and Ronaldo are the goats, but they were never given the same chances as Mbappe at 18. When people say: Mbappe has more goals than Messi at 18,19,20 it’s like of course he had more goals, Messi didn’t get the same chances at those ages. This was also the same time as most players would slow down at 30 and would want to retire by 32. Yet look at Ronaldo, look at messi, look at Ibra. These were different eras even 15 years ago. Football is almost a totally different sport than it was even 8 years ago. Players are expected to be robotic and not play with flair, why do you think there hasn’t been another Ronaldinho? Ronaldinho was fun to watch but as a player he was never as effective at anything compared to literally any player. Technology has advanced so much that a striker will probably be bought solely on if they have a higher xG and if they convert it more than another player.
This is really the best channel on KZhead. I’m always left shock in how you find old content of players when they’re younger
We just watched this documentary last night as a family. It's so eye opening. Seeing Messi at a very early age was awesome. Didn't realize he recovered from so many injuries throughout the years. I saved this video to my *BEST* Messi videos - the G.O.A.T. playlist!
And... Ladies and Gentlemen... this is once again a masterpiece of storytelling !! Dude, you are mastering it ! BRAVO !
Watching Messi play is like watching a master painter create a masterpiece before your very eyes, each stroke of the brush revealing a new layer of beauty and brilliance. He is a true artist of the game, a magician whose wand is a football, and the pitch his stage. Messi's skill is not just a talent, it is an ethereal force, a gift from the gods of football, a beauty that transcends the mere mortal realm.
🎉❤well articuled , so eloquently put. Your use of superlatives are spot on
Lionel Messi's journey to greatness is truly inspirational. From his humble beginnings in Rosario, Argentina, to becoming one of the greatest football players of all time, Messi has overcome countless obstacles to achieve his dreams. Watching this video is a great reminder that success is not achieved overnight. It takes hard work, dedication, and perseverance to achieve one's goals, and Messi is a shining example of that. He has faced many challenges throughout his career, but he has always remained focused on his love for the sport and his desire to be the best he can be. Messi's impact on the world of football is truly remarkable, and his legacy will be remembered for generations to come. He has inspired countless fans around the world to pursue their dreams and never give up on their goals. Thank you, Messi, for your dedication to the sport of football and for being a role model to fans around the world. We look forward to seeing what amazing accomplishments you will achieve in the future.
What a documentary. Gives me goosebumps. It takes a lot of hard work, suffering, character to overcome all the obstacles Messi had in its path. And to do all those while being down to earth. I love Messi because of his genius but put's him above anyone else because of his character. Messi the 🐐
This video made me realise that to love ronaldo you dont have to hate messi
That's because you're a simpleton.
I question if people who truly hate Messi even love football. It's incomprehensible. Must be a touch of mental illness.
The haters can keep crying But now it's a universal truth that Messi is 🐐
You couldn’t write it better… the fact he had a rival in Ronaldo playing on his rivals team, going head2head in their primes was the cherry on top.
Greatest athlete to grace this earthhhh👏👏
The greatest player ever 😀
they'll never be a player like Messi again - we're blessed to have seen his talent and how fitting he got his world cup win to top it all off. a genius.
Messi is truly a once in a lifetime player .
Thanks balon for the mesmerising documentary of the greatest footballer
Yes this was a well made documentary
*THE GOD OF FOOTBALL*
Every time I watch any of you videos it hits me hard how this level of content receive such low recognition compared to how good it is, and every video you top it off, as a messi fan fo 15+ years I can safely say this is the best content I have ever seen on messi on youtube, keep it up!
This is one of the best videos because it doesn’t glamorize things or dramatize everything. It explains the order of events clearly and logically.
It's fecking criminal that you "only" have 130K subs, any football fan should have you on their list. Amazing work as always.
Greatest football KZhead channel of all time! 🐐 An extraordinary storyteller, with a legendary voice Thank you for yet another work of art. Thank you for giving us football lovers more reasons to love this sport
This is the effect of the Arabic accent... He is Arabic
That Ending Portion starting from 53:51 it literally gave me actual goosebumps mahn🔥 what a player, what a video, what a channel❤️
When you watch video's like this you realize it's was never easy sometimes highlights makes you think like that
I watched football for the first time in 2012. It was Barcelona v Real Madrid. Watching Messi play made me fall in love with football. I am forever grateful to one who will always be considered one of the greats 🙏🏽
I'm a Ronaldo fan, but I'll never dispute this man's greatness. What an honor to have watched him play. Great video!
He’s clear of ronaldo
@@lxfj2128 cool
Cristiano Ronaldo is a parasite that has attached himself to Messi. A narcissist who doesn't know that you can't convince the world of something that he thinks about himself as the truth.
This channel is expeceptional. The videos are composed beautifully, edited sensationally. And capture all the emotions and history of the moments and storylines. Cant wait to see more from this channel 💯
Amazing work, this is a fantastic documentary! Please make a part 2 and part 3 covering the rest of his career!
Exactly! There definitely needs to be a part 2 for this.
Thanks Raheem ! And thanks for your great archive collection of Messi, much appreciated!
@@balon-english please do a part 2
The rise of Lionel Messi was a stuff of dreams but his peak year, well that's another story.
Peak years . From 2007-2021 he was unbelievable
Watching Messi play as a kid is like watching LeBron as a high schooler - head & shoulders above everyone else.
It's nothing like that 💀
Yeah but in the professional Leagues Messi is akin to MJ. There's something special about them which is Unquantifiable, indescribable but makes you awed of their Majestic performance day in and out. LeBron is of the mold of Ronaldo. Feared specimens who overcame all challenges to become the best for around 2 decades and had a Mechanical quality for scoring with a strong desire to win and to always strive to match their comparisons in Messi & MJ. While i admire them all it's clear for all to see that Messi & MJ are the GOATs of their respective games.
@@Kushagra.j lebron is better bro quit
@@Kushagra.j MJ is the basketball analogue of Pele, like Ali, like Fangio, highest influence on the sport itself. Messi is more like Pete Maravich/Larry Bird(basketball-wise), Sugar Ray Leonard (boxing-wise), Schumacher (F1-wise) etc. Highest level of skill and consistency.
@@Eru_Iluvetar Nah, he has to be.
Every football documentary that Balon makes is phenomenal, easily the best by far, including the big media companies docs as well.
The greatest player ever to grace this beautiful game of football ♥️🙏🏻
Just glad you downloaded this episode Messi’s career was worth it Being the best player in the history of football is not easy when you had all these hardships!

Multiple primes🔥
This is the best piece of media I’ve seen this year. Amazing content as usual, for such an amazing player. The amount of work you must put into these videos is astonishing, we’re lucky to have you. Hope you’re able to make a part 2.
watching that iconic biography with a coffe is a therapy
This was absolutely brilliant. I didnt follow Messi until around 2012, so I didn't know about a lot of the details you discussed in this video. Great stuff! ❤
This documentary provides the whole story - yes, Messi is gifted. However, he was blessed with a strong family and parents who sacrificed so much because they believed in his abilities. Ronaldo works hard, and didn't have the support structure Messi had. However, the documentary shows that Messi worked hard too, suffered many injuries, and because of his more quiet, humility - unfairly attacked. It is obvious that Maradona was jealous. His criticisms and big mouth just showed how he feared Messi eclipsing his overall status. As a person and as a player, Messi is better than Maradona. America's MLS gets to enjoy an experienced Messi with all the perks attached. I'm very happy to see Messi truly happy and enjoying his passion. He is a pleasure to watch, and an excellent role model for any athlete on how to conduct your life as a professional. Stay humble, let your achievements do your talking.
The greatest of all time.
Incredible work once again, about the best player of this generation. And thank you for providing us this type of content free on KZhead. It's like watching a Sky Sports documentary or something. Hope this channel blows up one day.
Thank you for saying "this generation". Someone not blinded by recency bias or nostalgia. 👍🏻
@@DC-zi6se Thanks for the praise mate. I'm actually a huge Messi fan but if i'm being honest there were much better players than him in the past. Sadly most Messi fans (and Football fans in general) are denying that because of recency bias etc.. as you said.
@@Manuel0_3 Football is much easier nowadays mate. Imagine prime R9 nowadays, 60 goals in a league per season for him. 😅
@@DC-zi6se Well, that really depends how you want to see it.. The Football as a whole has changed definetely for the better due to the improving technology, tactics, nutrition and so on.. But you're right, that doesn't include the players. Which is one of the reasons why i believe that all great players from former generations would perform even better today than in their respective eras.
@@Manuel0_3 Defensively I feel the game has gone down. Even, tactically speaking, now's the era of offside traps and no-touch defending. The sheer physicality of the 90s and earlier is missing.
Not only the father saved his family but he evolve football forever
- "Messi is nothing without Xavi or Iniesta" - "Maradona lead and carried an average Argentina to be World Champions while Messi did not" - "Messi can only win if he have "team strikers" like Eto , Henry , Pedro , Villa , Neymar , or Suarez" - "Messi only scores against small teams and inflate his numbers against them" - "Messi cant be the greatest if he never won the World Cup" Messi then proceeds to break every single record while becoming the GOAT and winning Copa America , Finalissima and WORLD CUP
Good lord! ... I've seen a lot of these video docu on Lionel Messi overall career and i have to say...This one is by far the best one I've seen. Good job 👍
The greatest of all time. No debate now.
This video is like a film or documentary... So many details ... Ronaldinho,eto, Ibrahimovic.... Everything.... ❤
What a great video. I can't wait for the 2nd part, and I hope it ends right when he wins the WC. In a few years, I hope to come here again and see the 3rd and final part of the series. The GOAT
this is by far the best history of Messi i have ever seen . I thought i knew Messi
Crazy to think that his first contract ran till 2012...by which time he would have already cemented his position as one of the greatest of all time.
We NEED a part II Excellent work.
Who loves and who knows football just little bit, must recognize that messi is greatest player of all time ... Who has little Brain in head,must say and recognize that he was, he is and he will be always greatest player of all time.... He is really from another planet
this was fantastic! need you guys to continue the story after 2010 World Cup!
I'm a Ronaldo Nazario fan (my GOAT + Pelé) but Messi is clearly the best of his generation. Great job here!
This is the best documentary on Messi i have ever seen…i hope u make a 2nd part also..🥰
Hour long Messi documentary, dont mind if I do. What a treat! Thank you verder much!
Another masterpiece in your collection Balón, i enjoyed every second of It like your previews videos. It would be nice to see an analysis of Deportivo La Coruña between 90's and early 00's, Valencia's Rise until 2004 double, Sevilla's path to european success since their 97 relegation in my hometown Oviedo under Monchi's guidance or some in detail of 2002/03 la Liga with some extraordinary campaigns like Real Sociedad and Celta Vigo. Congrats for the sucess of the channel
The sheer amount of work and research is just outstanding 👏👏👏👏
Balon is going to shake the youtube football community with this title. The Goat covering the career of another Goat
He may be short and small but when it comes to greatness and achievement bruh he is the one you dont want to mess with
2010-11 and 2014-15 Messi are by far his 2 best versions, "FOOTBALL-WISE". I liked him so much better than his 2011-13 seasons, he was statistically great (91 goals a year and what not), but more of a goal poacher providing assists here and there. His free flowing dribbling style came back in 2014. And since, then he's just the best.
Very true. People always bring up his insane stats calling 2012 and 2013 prime Messk but football and especially Messi is way above stats. For me in 2010 and 2011 he achieved peak status in the field paying so freely and devastating. And then of course 2015, 2019 he was the most complete version of him and probably any attacker ever. So 10, 11, 15, 19 are peak versions of Messi. Of course 12, 13 he was great too.
@@nikosofidemporas Agreed mate! That 2014-15 version I guess is the most complete and ultimate version. Had the stats and overall beauty of the game. He also had the speed and shot power, that lacked in the 2018-19 season and 2010-11 season respectively.
2018/19 is his second best season, so sad Valverde ruined it 😢
2010/11, 2011/12, 2014/15 and 2018/19 are his 4 best seasons…you can rank them however u want
Anything Sir Balón dropped I'll definitely watch. Well done Sir.
Greatest Of All Time 🐐
❤️❤️❤️ Please give us a part 2 of the 🐐🇦🇷 Journey!
I have been waiting for this video. Also, can you do one about Pele? I don't think there's anyone who would do it better. Please make one about Pele 🙏🏾
what a masterpiece..🐐🇦🇷
That period of suspense between Balon dropping the trailer and Balon releasing the whole thing, is the best feeling you can get on KZhead
Can't wait for the second part❤❤❤
You must make a part 2 continuing from 2010 world cup. This video was brilliant and you went in detail. Nice work man
Messi the greatest ever!💜
the early parts of the documentary make you cry, it is obvious you had a lot of inspiration doing this
There will be no player like him ever again. His greatness will die when the sport itself ceases to exist.
Been waitin for a Messi video for the longest time, I know its all been said before but I just love the work on this channel top notch stuff once again
This is an outstanding documentary, well done.
Thank you for this documentary . This is probably the best documentary of Messi I have ever seen . Can’t wait for part 2
Greatest football channel on youtube is back again, always a pleasure watching your video! Thank you Balón 🫡
Great channel you have made! Your football documentaries are having truly historic meaning. I am eagerly waiting every new video!
