I’ll tell my son to aspire to be like Cristiano. Cr7 is the peak of human ability. Messi is an alien. Messi’s ability is something hard work could never achieve.
he's literally a genius amongst geniuses
Like he didnt have to train to exhaustion to develop his game 😂😂😂😂
Yh he obviously trained very hard but no other person can train and reach his level@FamousBeasten
Oh wow, what dictionary you read? Did robbery and favoritism means hard work on yours? And why you say hard work? I thought he has that ability cause of tallent rather? and if someone acheieve what messi was in his prime or even better, will you give everything you have to bet it wont happen? Who will you rather want to watch more? Messi or Ronaldinho? I think more of what you wrote is a inpiring speech for views, not really a real oppinion.
@@Kamsy-gm8pe I call bs. 😂 Cr7 the goat 😊
zidane admitting that he himself saw 1 second ahead while messi sees 3 seconds ahead is insane. What other player in history could he possibly think that about....
R9 pre-injury!
@@jaysparrow6631R9 was pure striker , Messi is same creator , striker at same time thats the edge.
no R9 before injury is also an alien . messi and cristiano both grows up watching him , probably most 90 generation peoples . messi and cristiano rivalry benefits both in longevity . R9 was a no contest , no one can match him 😂 during his time
@@andriesusanto8684 nah Messi is much more skilled for sure even r9 says it
@@jaysparrow6631i agree r9 pre injury the best
What Messi does can’t be measured by statistics. It’s pure art. Simply the greatest of all time.
As the great Marco Van Basten said: "Cristiano is a great player, but those who say he is better than Messi don't know anything about football, or they say it in bad faith," Van Basten said to Italian daily Corriere
As a player Messi is better, more complete and has a pretty unique playstyle which is not really comparable to anyone. But you can't deny that in this era Cr7 had a couple of years where he performed better
Van Basten who? 🤣🤣🤣 The delusional who thinks he's better than cr7 and got whooped badly? 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@SAADOFFICIAL436 kid never saw marco van basten play. Anyone who saw him play knows that Cristiano isn't even close. He had better goal scoring records, better assists records. Won more ballandors at the age of 29. He won 3 ballandors when he was 29 and Ronaldo won his 3rd when he was 30. Won more matches at lesser age.
@@user-ch1ob9mp2l I never denied that. He was better in a few years.
@@Inquisitive_Nomad I've seen him and know he's good. But wake me up when he can score 60+ goals in 4 consecutive years, win 5 ucl with his team and carry a dead team like Portugal to euro. Can't win more Balon d'Or/Golden boot than Ronaldo. Carrer finished at 28. Served well 👏👏👏 Now shitting in tv like a baby. Ronaldo's prime started after 30 unlike pan pasten who's carrer ended before 30. Difference. Also, Van Basten didn't have to compete with the likes of Messi/Suarez like Ronaldo had to to win Balon d'Or/golden boot. He was a lone best striker of his generation and won without much of a competition. Had Ruud Gullit and other to get help in Netherlands team
When Maldini says he was lucky Messi was injured, that says more than a lot
@@romadino1040lmao embarrasing comment, have you seen what young Messi did to Roberto Carlos? Maldini knows it would've been the Same with him
@kmk-yr2ni The irony of you calling someone else comment embarrassing while you typing this You got to be 12 years old ffs 🤦 Reboerto carlos was 34 years old when Messi played Not only that Roberto Carlos was left back very limited defensively You comparing arguably the greatest defender of all times to LB fast and offensive one
@@badsolja1I am 26 years old and have a Master's degree in psychology from a top100 uni in the world. 😘 I assure I wouldn't have this if I didn't have excellent sense of analysis. I also play myself all life. 😂 Thanks for the humor of calling me 12 years old when you're rather the one mentally close to that
@@badsolja1there's a reason myy comment is being liked and you have zero likes my lil friend
@kmk-yr2ni This not tinder you don’t have to tell me your life story You are 26 you was like 5 when Maldini retired sense of analysis … I’m sure the likes have nothing to do with Messi video and fanbase Your analysis just like. Your IQ LEVEL don’t exist
When Zidane said, I was one second ahead of the rest and you were 3 second ahead, the face of Messi brighten up! Messi is amazing through and through!!!
When R9 is mentioning how Messi dribbles and has the ball glued to his feet you know that any discussion is pointless, absolute Goat. I am Portuguese, never in my mind I saw Ronaldo as being better than Messi, but I have to say If you are good enough to give Messi a run for his money you are one of the best of all time :)
For sure! Ronaldo is definitely one of the best to ever play football.
Ronaldo Nazario at his peak is the most talented and successful player of all times in my opinion. The only player I can put him together is Messi, though they have different approach to the game, they both are a phenomenon..
R9 is just humble and paying homage to him and Argentine R9 dribble and skill level way higher than Messi You all have never watched football Messi is 1v1 Funny how even Jose mo mentioned that Cause when you put 2 players on him he loses can’t do much Doesn’t matter if the ball glued to his foot or his arse
@@badsolja1watch all his solo goals vs RM, watch his goal vs Bilbao in CDR final, watch his ‘ankara messi’ goal, and so many other countless times that he has single handedly rendered an entire defence useless. Put ‘two guys on Messi’? Seriously? You must have only watched an old and unenthusiastic Messi.
@akashbhaumik5975 I watched all his solo goals He dribble a team not a 2 man mark Messi don’t have the skill to escape that and luckily for him he didn’t play Maldini or Cannvaro in Italian team All the goals you mentioned are against Spanish team who have open play and open spaces for Messi to run in I wish if you mentioned some of his goal in World Cup
What makes Zinedine Zidane even greater than he actually is (or was in the field) is his humility. Incredible!
No one even comes close to Messi, I really do think he's in a league of his own
it’s funny how the comments section just talks about talent. Yes. Without a doubt he is talented. However, you have to look at the amount of work and discipline necessary to reach and maintain such level. Even more so if you look at his lack of base qualities like height and strength. No one talks about his unmovable discipline or his work ethic. The fact that fame and money never got to his head. We never saw him dead drunk in clubs, with hookers and all the rest of it. I think first and foremost we should be in awe of his discipline which is on par with Cristiano. Just saying talent, like something was given to him without merit is an insult.
Exactly, you can still become like hazard who still had a very good carrer in the end(respect to him), but not the best in the world. Or like ben arfa, delle alli and many other wasted talents.
Well said….See, people will find theory and a lot of debate to demerit messi.. just ignore.. I read all and just laugh
I have been advising my fellow Messi supporters to refrain from saying Messi as talented because it’s a demerit to his insurmountable efforts and hard work. They don’t understand we don’t see him working hard because he is introverted and don’t record every process to upload and share like other players do. I am glad to have spotted your comment, finally someone understands and sees Messi like I do. What people don’t know is, “Those who work hard, appears luckiest”. So, Messi’s composure comes not as a gift, he is the best and he appears to be the most talented only because he’s training the hardest, putting the most of efforts. I just can’t deny the fact that we will never see a footballer who can even do 50% of Messi ever again. Messiah of Football.
Eveyone has their own taste but, the package of brilliance messi shown regularly, in all aspect as an attacking player can't be replicated. Messi is one in lifetime genius. The simplicity with efficiency. The GOAT
The 'goat' Messi is an alien ,the best in the history of football.Talented more than every player who has ever played soccer.
Most talented players ever (not the best), 1. Maradona, 2. Ronaldinho, 3. Messi
Bojan Krkić and Ney>>> Messi in terms of talent. And many more players who disappeared in their youths.
Indeed must be because of the doping he got at a young age
When Ronaldinho and Ronaldo R9 are sure Messi is the GOAT , that sais something
And Zizou 🤯
Messi is the epitome of talent-skill-success and HUMILITY…
Messi transcends mere humanity, embodying a standard of excellence that soars beyond reach in every aspect.
If you ask Messi who is the best player of all time, he will name anyone else but never him. I believe Messi doesn't know how good he is. Must be normal at his planet 😂
Messi doesn't know he is Messi
That declaration at 4.01 shows how great Ronaldinho was while recognizing the greatness of a 17 years old guy. Absolutely amazing. 👋
The way Henry explains it says everything.
Ronaldinho, R9, Zlatan, Maldini, Henry, Raúl, Zidane, Beckham, Gerrard, Lampard, Mourinho, Klopp and the list goes on and on. I am willing to bet, 80% of all football people picks Leo as the absolute best they've seen til now. For me and few others, Messi has been The GOAT since 2010. 2022 ended the debate for most. To play the game in such insanely high, "only Messi" levels for so long is madness. We just won't see another genius like him. Because he is The God of Football and it's beyond once a lifetime. Messi is probably once in all existence.
Ohhh nahh bro you underrate the 2007, 2008, 2009 messi? You can’t do like that bro. Messi has been being the best for me since 2007 he just didn’t have the chance to lift a major trophy in 2007-08
@@theperfectwinger9645 honestly if we're really gonna go back to the past. Let's just go back to when Leo was 4 years old in Rosario. Even that version of him is unplayable. He has been a footballing sensation since he was a child. When he came to Barça in his early teens, it was the same there. Everyone in the club knew he was something else entirely. They beat teams 30-0 so often because of Messi. So me saying since 2010 is just being very very generous. We are talking about The God of Football and possibly one of the greatest athlete in any terms. He's won it all by playing genius genuine honest football, without diving or acting or bullsheeeeeething. Just simple football but at a supernatural level of efficacy. That's why the majority of other great great legends of football says Messi is the best. He plays a different sport it seems.
@@DarthwRathlol before messi joining Miami bhekham always choose Ronaldo Also zidane said Ronaldo is better but he just praised messi coz he was in interview with messi Also maradona , muller , pele all choose Ronaldo
@@DarthwRathhe is better at playmaking while Ronaldo is better at over all coz he is complete player and more energetic and faster
@@Ronaldo-vk1vn This isn't a debate..Both are legendary players. Absolutely amazing players. However, Ronaldo only beats Messi in 3 things: -Penalties (more goals + higher percentage scored) -Number of goals (but with alot more matches played) -Headings (goals + duels won) Messi wins out in all other aspects. -More g/a per game/minute -More goals if penalties are removed even with less games -More dribbles -More passes (completed + accuracy) -More assists -More trophies -More plays created Messi has been named MotM (Man of the Match) in 52-53% of ALL his professional games. That's insane playing with a stacked Barca squad + an entire opposing team of professional, great players. Ronaldo has been MotM in 30-31% of all his games which is also absolutely insane. 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... Like Zidane said: "I was 1sec ahead of the rest, but you (Messi). You are 3sec ahead of everybody. The only one". Appreciate both while they still play. Players like these two don't come around often, if ever. But saying Ronaldo is better is delusional...Alot of people like Ronaldo, but no one with a right mind would still think he is better. It's ok that ones favorite player isn't the best.
Football goat are r9,CR7, pele (rip), maradona (rip), cruff (rip), but messi is FOOTBALL , messi is GOD , hate it or love it , everyone knows he’s alien,….. messi is like deep sleep , we all are very very very lucky watching him,
god with a small g
I wonder how messi dad proudness feel .... more than a father want to hear for his son
We are lucky to have witnessed and felt history unfold right in front of our eyes. Greatest of all time. King Leo 👑
Talent is hard to find, greatness is spotted immediately. I remember not knowing who Messi was first time I saw him play. Took me less than a minute to understand he was something else
I first saw him during his first UCL game that he scored against Panathinaikos. You could tell, something wasn't normal about that kid.
Yes, I remember his first matches, you could tell right away he was , as you said, something else. I still remember the goal against Getafe and couldn't quite believe the similarity with Maradona's goal. I'm not supersticious, but quite fitting.
Blessed to be in the era of messi. There never ever can't be anyone like messi
I'm a happy person to be in the era of Messi ❤
I have a lot of Respect for Ronaldo, to be up there with these amazing footballer that has ever been. And still get mentioned, and have a relavance? The man would still have the balls to say, in his own eyes he's the best. And lets be honest here a small fraction of y'all would not feel like "that's a bullshit". Coz the guy means business. In the end Messi is simply the best
Says a lot when even the best players of your rival national team praises you and consider you the best ❤
Love ❤️ Kobe’s story and him. A great man! Inspiring, hard work. The world missed you.
When I was a kid in 2011, another kid asked me who's the best player in football at the time. I didn't follow football during that time, so I blurted out Messi. He told me that I didn't know football and that the better player was Cristiano Ronaldo. But after 13 years of following the sport, I can safely say that Messi is the greatest of all time. He's pretty much mastered football to the point that he is football. The only players that achieved similar feats were El Fenomeno, Zinedine Zidane, Johan Cruyff and Pele
same story as mine❤️
Even vandijk said messi deserve the BDO in 2019 but some toxic fans say messi rob wtf
The One & Only...Messi...best ever...True G.⚽️.A.T 🐐...Mr. Genius...Messi...Messi...Messi 💙💙💙🇦🇷🐐👽🇲🇨♥️♥️♥️
Maradona's ability was exceptional, and he played as a team player. Messi's effectiveness is incomparable, but he tends to deliver more as a solo performer.
His consistency changes everything... That's why we call him the goat...
You can't have sufficient words to describe Messi the GOAT.
Messi can't be judged by only numbers ! He is way above that ! His whole game is beautiful !!
Hearing from these football legends talk about Lionel Messi is like witnessing the greatest history unfolding before your eyes and lens. His talent, skills, dedication, humbleness and sportsmanship have reshaped and redefined the game of football. Messi isn't just a player; he's a both a magic and a miracle that future generations will study and admire. He's an alien and not from this world. Truly the GOAT🐐 among legends⚽⚽
Goat Messi
When I see all these, I'm always happy to choose Messi as my 🐐 The greatest of all time of football. 🐐🐐🐐
Klopp: We can't defend that free kick. WHAT A STRIKE! (With a disbelief smile)
“He doesn’t make a mistake” Kevin prince Boatang
Most talented player of all time💯
Messi is a once in a lifetime player!! A player specially made by God to show how MAGIC works🔥🔥🔥❤️
We are lucky we live in Messi Time what a legend Messi was
Messi vs Cristiano is like Zeno vs Goku. Goku can work hard and get stronger but Zeno is just a God.
His attitude is elite. We've all seen him get hit, hard, again and again, especially in the younger years and he just gets up, resets, goes again but with more. Supreme ability coupled with supreme mentality.
Leo Messi THE KING OF FOOTBALL ALL TIME
On day day the synonym for football will be Messi
I am not the fan of him but messi his goat player no 1 talented I saw
Messi juega muy bien porque ha sido tocado por la divina providencia. Messi es muy querido por casi toda la gente porque irradia sonrisas, irradia felicidad, paz, tranquilidad y todo esto es porque Messi ha sido tocado por la divina providencia. Cómo te explicas que un niño de 4 años toque su primer pelota en un campo de juego y burle a todos? Es como magia. Deseo estar aún con vida el día que lo beatifiquen. Gracias Messi.
Now we need a "Football Legends Talk about Kane's unbelievable English accent"
When Messi has the ball, one on one, you are dead.
What else do I need to say...those involved in the business of professional football are in awe of Messi and what he can do with the ball ⚽ Those people that are always arguing are just the fans.
Gary Lineker says it best!
When R9 Phenomenal says Messi is the best...its juz phenomenal
DONT CRY MESSILOVERS, CR7 IS THE BEST !!!
Messi is simple the best
The best thing Argentina can do for us in our lifetime is to let Messi play in the next world cup in 2026, just one more moment of glory!
The people dont know Messi ! Must see videos in you tube and undertand why Messi is the god of football
10:49 Look at Messi face " inciting " Suarez...😂. I love seeing his funny side ,Cause when he plays he's in the zone, Killer instinct. The best Artist . Barcelona & Especially #PSG Made big mistake. Especially #PSG coach & Management not wining withe Messi ,Neymar [ big mistake he left Barca and now greedy 4 Petro $ like Ronaldo] & Mbappe. MSN Barca won EVERYTHING.
They weren't comparing him to CR7 but the argument here is if he is the best of all time. That shows Messi is not ordinary he is Alien the 🐐
🐐🇦🇷 Messi the GOAT 🐐
Almost all football experts (players, coaches, pundits, analysts) refer to Messi as the GOAT, and many of them also witnessed or played along other all-timers like Pelé, Maradona, Ronaldo Nazario or Ronaldinho. They KNOW what constitutes to someone being the best. And yet we are supposed to take the words of random CR7 fanboys on Twitter and Instagram more seriously, who proclaim CR7 as the GOAT because he looks better to them. Yeah, no. Every serious football fan and expert knows who the greatest is, and it's the little man from Argentina (lol, not the one who did coke).
Simeone is right, for a normal team, better CR7, for a big team: Messi.
Creo que todas la leyendas lo han reconocido como el mejor, despues de eso no hay mucho que decir en verdad, es el numero 1. Admiro mucho mas a Cristiano, muestra la realidad para cada sujeto que se esfuerza, porque el otro(Messi) juntó no solo la disciplina y el esfuerzo, sino que el talento que tiene es el mas alto, nació para eso.
Mourinho says, even though Messi was most at Barca I faced him with different teams, and he was under different managers, but his progress was greater and greater! The other guy said, when we were coming to face Messi we became excited as young boys. And this are great stars!
Messi has accomplished, but no player in history has been able to do, Messi is the only player in history to own every single individual and collective FIFA record, and the only player in history to own every single title in FIFA history! He is above anyone in history and Guinness records! The way Messi dribbles the ball in the view of the field and being the best playmaker in history makes Messi the best player in history !! Pele Played an error of prehistoric Futbol Messi makes the modern Futbol look extremely easy. The modern players are extremely athletic and dynamic and the spaces have closed much more. Despite all this this wizard this out of this world human being this alien makes the game look easy. 🇦🇷⭐️⭐️⭐️
Good compilation and a great ending!
Jurgen klop says, what a strike 😮😮
There is just a difference to Messi's game. He is, quite literally, just on another level than any other player who ever strapped the boots on. The only one I can think that even comes close to his sheer talent and genius on the pitch is Pele and even then I give the nod to Messi and I've had the extreme good fortune to seem them both play in person.
zidane making it clear in the eyes of a rival
I been blessed to watch Pele,Maradona and Hundreds of The most skillful players of the world, But Messi is Definitely The Best, He's One with the Ball,I have to slow the tape down, because is Completely out this world.
no player will have messi abality and messi is the best player till eternity ❤❤❤
I have seen that as a musician. Without that talent, work will take you only so far. It might be a long way, but never as far or high as the truly talented.
When I first saw his 94 rating on FIFA 13( I Didn't have FIFA 12) I WAS happy cause they got the gap right. He's at least two ovr points better than the next best player
To me messi is what R9 could have been. No injuries, maybe not the best passer but same type of game. Just a thought
It's the vision of Messi and his passes that makes him the best player in the world for most football legends.
Messi is god gifted
i don't get how someone can compare cristiano ronaldo to messi. cristiano ronaldo is not even on top 10 players ever in terms of skill. skill like messi, ronaldinho, ronaldo nazario, romario, maradona, cruyf, riquelme, pele, maradona, is beyond the skill of cristiano ronaldo. what ronaldo does can be learnt, what the virtuosos of football do, can't. it can be trained and improved but not learnt.
'He is clearly not an human being '. That's deep🤔.
When Zlatan said you're the best than you're the best.
And yet someone somewhere had the audacity to put an immense amount of resources to create a debate on this topic🤦🏻♂️
Simple, with hard work, you can become Cristiano, but no one can become Messi.
As per Pendu fans, they have all been paid. As per Pendu, they have all lost their credibility.

Messi bing compared to Christiano Ronaldo is a straight out insult to me because Messi is of course a league of his own. It makes sense to compare Ronaldo to other grate players in history like Maradona and Pele but Messi is definitely way above them all. It is easier to say that there will be a player like Ronaldo, Maradona and Pele in the future than to say the same about Messi and that is why he is the greatest player of all time
Fact is messi doesn't care about the debate.
THE BEST EVER. FOREVER. THE GOAT.
If you have been alive whilst Messi played, just be thankful. Don’t compare. Just be grateful for living alongside poetry and beauty.
El Fenomino. You know you were the best ever
Do we need something else?? Everyone already knew, Ronaldinho could tell when Leo was starting, at 17, it was obvious he'd become the 🐐
Anyone who disagrees that Messi is the best player in the world ever is either a fangirl or a fanboy of someone else. When you look objectively, there's no constest.
CR7 describe hard work in football history... But Messi describe football itself...
8:22.. "Which by the way his carrer is not finish yet"... BRO BECKHAM KNEW ALREADY HAHAHAHHA
Joe Hart was right. That goal for inter miami in the final or semi final was exactly the same goal.
Omg my legend ronaldo no7
I agree that he is the best of all times. But also i think that very few people has see the way i see it. The best of a time Pelé inspered and set a base for the next lne that probably was Cruyff, them it helps Maradona, then him inspired even Brasilian like Ronaldo, Romario, Ronaldinho y those to Messi. Even cristiano help Messi to be Messi. My point is without the predecessors football players won't be ones they were.
I am just hoping that the new Messi will be somewhere getting all the best of this generationa of extraordinary and athletes and professionals we have. Probably the next best is half human half Android 😂😂😂.
MESSI GOAT 🐐😍😍
