There was never a player, there's not and there won't be any like Lionel Messi. Let's cherish him while he's still around. The greatest player of all times
Amazing players come and go! They stay on as icons but trust me, there’ll be others to make us think they’re better than Messi. Mbappe is 23!!!!! In a deep French team, he was the guy!
He's completed football. He's the undisputed GOAT, there's no debate. I hope he wins another Champions League with PSG, collects his 8th Ballon d'or and then if there's any way he can come home to Barca, the club should absolutely make it happen. He deserves to retire at Barcelona and share that moment with the fans that have adored him all these years and still do. I'd also love to see him playing with Lewandowski for a couple of years, imagine that partnership 🔥
Some clowns will tell me that he still hasn’t proven he’s the best because he hasn’t moved to England and scored against Southampton in a midweek match.
No, cause he choked the pk v RM in PSG. Maybe he can get a pk goal every round in the UCL for PSG, since he wore his golden boots to be the best pk taker.
@@bradleysmith6478 The adiddas ball had sensors only for Ronaldo or can adiddas score for you?? How can he? I got friends who know nothing about football, and even they know it's more about money. Go lose to S.Arabia, your odds drop. 2010 spain lost 1st game too.
True.. World Cup Copa America UCL Ballon d’Or Golden Boot Messi has completed Football, there is nothing left to win…he was also Top scorer in numerous league seasons and UCL seasons
Messi wants another UCL, guaranteed. The loss against Liverpool in 2018/19 still stings i can guarantee. His 2018/19 season was incredible and yet couldn’t close the UCL trophy with a 3-0 lead. He would definitely want another UCL trophy before retirement, that’s the motivation imo.
What good is another UCL gonna add to an perfect legacy he already had? His 8 ballon dor r almost certain at this point. The debate between him and CR is over, on that moment when he took this mediocre Argentina to win world cup champion.
Mbappe and Erling may have all the attributes to the the heir apparents to Messi and Ronaldo, but those two have shown consistency for more than 15 years. Mbappe and Erling need to be performing at this level for atleast 10 years before they can be mentioned in the same breath as Messi and Ronaldo. It isnt just the records, it's the consistency with which the 'lil Magician and CR7 have been playing that is truely phenomonal.
Why do we keep comparing strikers to players like Messi who see and do it ALL... Honestly, Messi's vision alone compared to players whose only job is to score, is a whole other thing...
@@gerardkhachaturyan4814 Why are We involving deaths in this now? Come on , lol. I mean, RIP to him - but Football is bigger than any other sport & will be forever. You don't find people hopping into exotic F1 cars on their local street for a ''wheelabout'' (like a Kickabout) do you? Messi is the Greatest person that will ever play Sport - he's simply achieved and displayed too much lol.
actually he did. there is a period of time ( i dont know the exact dates, but you can figure it out if you wish) from february 2012 to february 2013 where he actually scored "100 goals in 1 year" ( so within 365 days) - 102 goals to be exact.
Erm,,, lol I think he's the opposite: a fearless mini Lion with 10 limbs that charges forwards and doesn't stop till he scores, breathes fire, can fly and control the ball in any way he wants with his Infinite Skill perk.
Dreams can come true ........this man proved today ❤️❤️❤️..........best player in the world bar none..... from every generation.....to come and go🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐
Messi is the best for me.. whatever other says.. "I don't care" I struggled a lot in 2014.. I am not Argentinian, but I am so happy now!!! Best year of my life.
Must be easy for him to go back and play now, he has zero pressure on him to do anything more he can go back and play with freedom and play for fun, I'd love to be in his position as a player right now
Let me put this in perspective. Maradona and Pele never won Copa America, Balandor, Champions League (let alone 4). Yes Pele won 3 world cups, but another 8 players from Brazil also won those and frankly he was dreadful in the last one according to my grandfather (who is actually old enough to have watched him). Maradona means more for Argentinans for what his image means but Messi is by faaaaaaaaaaaaar the better player of the 2 of them.
Look messi is the best of his generation but its impossible to compare him with maradona and pele who played decades ago. So i'll just say messi, maradona and pele are the 3 best players ever. Not sure who's the best among them
Pele was dreadful in his second WC win. He only scored once before going out injured. In his last one, he scored four goals and made 5 assists, including the opener in the final and two assists in the final...
They played in an era with real men who kick lumps out of them today the player have so much protection it’s impossible to compare it’s a different sport
what better way to win a CL with a team that never done it before thats history as well so thats something for him to achieve even though it doesnt change his status
It's tough wiht psg considering their squad depth and manager. well they didn't go through but hopefully he wins atleast 2 before he retires, 1 ucl will also be enough but frankly speaking 11 goals and 10 or 9 assists is nothing for messi.(for the record in ucl).
Common people, didn't you understand till now that messi doesn't need motivation to play football, coz he loves playing it..he enjoys it . He loves competition and there are many things that he can still achieve like 5th UCL title , Most goals in UCL , Most international goals , most goals overall ... So he will keep doing what he is doing for years. Don't worry about messi ...he knows what he is doing.
he can also become player with more trophies since he is second before dani alves. By the way, anyone knows how many trophies Dani alves has compared to messi??
Messi is gonna win his 8th Ballon D'or, it would be great if he could win the Champions League with PSG however even if he doesn't, that won't change a thing, he's already cemented he's the GOAT!
Watching yesterday’s game was like watching the end of a movie or a video game. He’s done everything now. He played through the main game. All that’s left now are some side quests. Everything he’ll do from now on is just for fun. 😉
I think Leo is going to play with an entirely new sense of calm after his World Cup triumph. He really has a free soul now, he's completed football, he's achieved literally everything there is to achieve. I guess the only thing left for him to do now would be to carry PSG to their first ever Champions League title. He could also try and become the all-time leading UCL goalscorer now that he's just 11 goals behind Cristiano Ronaldo, who most likely won't feature anymore in the competition. For the NT, there's nothing more to accomplish than to simply score more goals and increase his record tally. INow, if we're lucky, Leo might even decide to feature in the Copa America 2024. But even if none of that doesn't happen, honestly, who cares? Messi is a World Champion, he's the official GOAT! He's completed the main story, he's just doing side quests now. Everything's just a cherry on top from this moment henceforth.
If it’s not his already, I think he might want to go for the ballon D’or. Topping off his “last” season. Keep in mind he was cooking before the World Cup in Ligue 1. There’s still another half of the season to go.
Messi with nothing more to achieve is gonna be more deadly. He's gonna be playing beautiful football just setting up goals for his teamattes, not saying he is not gonna score but I feel like we are gonna see more assist now
At this point, if anything's left for Lionel Messi, then it's to come at Barca, just for one last time, not to deliver great plays(which he obviously does) but to be cherished by us Barca fans, in Barca ground, which we have longed for our entire lives. I just hope this plot is written in the script of Leo's life. That would make everything complete.
@ Crazy Tech Guy: I know you're probably trolling but anyway... Messi is Zen Master, not Ronaldo ... he would not be mis guided by nostalgia for the past feelings of his old club , one he suffered a lot to leave. Never go back ( to your ex )
@@draoicht22 Bro, what part of my comment made you feel I am trolling. I have been Messi fan since I saw European football matches. Agreed, that he can have grudges with the club, but what about fans? Do you think Barca fans are so called "ex" to Messi? I highly doubt. Infact, Messi would have appreciated Barca fans anyday over PSG fans. We Barca fans would never Boo to Messi even if he played his the worst. I wanted him to return in Barca shirt just for the sake of Barca fans. Don't blame fans over the fault of management.
Bro, I think he nevers get bored with playing football. Imo, only a disastrous loss or catastrophic injury could put full stop to his tourney, but boredom?? I doubt..
@@crazytechguy5735 Every one will feel they are actually enjoying. The mind will always say yes but the body will not, after a while. In messi's case it might take a little longer. It's not only about Messi it's also about the whole argentinian squad. Now that group don't have to prove anyone anything. They've won the ultimate trophy that's "the world cup". Usually that's the case, they might go on a roll where they can win everything for a few years may be even the next world cup by going on a roll. But the desire usually declines, It's human nature.
You just have to admire ALE... Pele (in the 60s) played only in Brazil & USA against teams made up off farmers, fishermen, 9-5 working class people in the 60s. Maradona was better then Pele. Brazilian Ronaldo in his prime was better then Pele. There are a handful of Goats but without a shadow of doubt Messi is the Sheikh of GOATs. The GREATEST by miles
This Is what I was telling a friend. Messi is about to become a beast. He has the free soul to play with no pressure. Beautiful to watch, impossible to match
you know lionel messi is a true great when your peers on the opposite team admits it and tells others how much of a great player and the impact lionel had on his opponents and within his team. couldnt have happen to a better person all his achievements.
not yet! he can still equal ronaldos 5 UCLS with PSG. Plus if he finishes this season he will win the ballon dor an 8th time! Then retire after this season
From a Barca fan....please Leo come back and give us that champions league you promised to us,for the last time.🥺🥺 We are getting nowhere near that,like the world cup for Argentina.pls.
Messi has most wins, most trophies/honours, most club goals, most assists, an Olympic Gold and a World Cup title. He's completed football. Literally nothing to add. Best part of all? He's done it in less time and less games than most greats like Ronaldo and he's still elite and going to play few more years so no one will ever reach his achievements. That is definition of the GOAT. Haters will disagree, but they know it's false. They just don't want to admit it. Hate also proves he's the GOAT. Official debate is over, so haters can keep on with the false debates. Messi is GOAT. All I hope is he gets to retire with Barcelona instead of enjoying semi-retirement life with Miami.
I can see Messi playing in Argentina for at least one year before retiring. People say he could have offers from MLS and Saudi but he’s already making a killing at PSG so I do think going back to Argentina will be on his mind.
Every Football fan - We were all so *so* lucky to have Witnessed & experienced this Great, maybe even greatest of eras. Messi: the Greatest Footballer of all Time. I can only thank him & Argentina for this Greatness to the Best game on the Planet!
After carrying so much pressure throughout the course of his footballing career and being Maradona's heir to the throne and failing numerous times then finally succeeding at the twilight of his career. I say let Messi do whatever he wants, he's earned it.
The man the machine the monster! What a sportsman! We all are just blessed to have seen him live on TV. U stand for the artistic part of football which is much much superior than today's goal hungry stats loving players. U r one of a kind. Take a bow.
Messi just completed his amazing football career. Since he's playing for PSG, I wanna see him lifting the PSG's 1st ever UCL trophy. Because of this 2022 WORLD CUP, He will surely win the 2022 FIFA BEST and 2023 Balon D'Or. We saw calm and relax Messi in this world cup. Goodness, his WC Final Penalty Shoot-out was unbelievable. He deserves it. Argentina deserves it. And after 20 years, a champion from South America emerged. Argentina, the best football fans all around the world deserves it too after 36 years. I can't still get over until now after 3 weeks.
He will probably give 100% for PSG now and perform great at psg i guess. Messi is such a player that till the moment he is in pitch he will give 100% . And I think his motivation will be to bring champion league to PSG.
Argentina won the World Cup not just because Messi played with a 'free soul' but because he played with his heart, body and soul and inspired the entire national team likewise. They would die on the field before they give up. They would sacrifice themself for Messi. And it gives him the platform to weave his magic. It doesn''t translate to PSG. First of all PSG is his employer, not his nation and roots. Secondly, because ironically Mbappe is there. He wouldn't sacrifice for Messi. So too Neymar. What you have would be three performers, who may or may not get together to work great magic. But to win something, you can't just have performers. You need warriors who fight for each other and for the team.
After myself making so many predictions about Argentina and the man himself Messi, imma make one more prediction. I wouldn’t be surprised if Messi either retires way early than we expect. And I also wouldn’t be surprised if Messi plays the best football he does now that he’s got the burden of the national team off him, finally after 15 years. I feel like he wouldn’t even care tbh, unless he loses in a final of the CL or Copa America I think he really doesn’t care anymore.
Remember when Ronaldo said he wants to checkmate Lionel Messi. Remember when he said wants to have more Balon d‘ors and more golden shoes than him. Well guess what...Messi will retire with more golden shoes than him. Messi will retire with more balon d‘ors than him cause there’s no way Ronaldo will win another in his career. Messi now even has the best chances to wins his 8th at the end of the season. And Messi will retire with a world cup which Ronaldo will not win. Ronaldo does the talking off the field Messi does it on the field. Lionel Messi has successfully checkmated Cristiano Ronaldo and the funniest part is he probably doesn’t even care about it.
That 5th ucl! That’s what left, also cr7’s records in the ucl, if he wins that ucl… another ballon d’or! Then back to argentina to play for his first love
I totally agree with Ale Moreno, I think Messi will play even better from now on wit PSG. He has no pressure anymore and can still achieve more goals. If I think of this WC and see Messi Mbappe Neymar Hakimi etc. how they played. I think PSG is the favorite to win the Champions League. And maybe he can manage to break other records. Who knows.
Messi is once in a Universe. Cristiano Ronaldo is once in a Millennium. Mbappe is once in a generation (but if his power scales rapidly he can overtake the goats)
Mbappe penalty is out of this world. He scored 3 goals vs the toughest GK in penalty. Given how hard to shot a penalty, Mbappe proved that he is on another level of great players. He is just not too motivated in club level like WC. If he had same motivation in club level, he would score nearly 100 goals a season.
Poor ronaldo ,if messi breaks all record ronaldo in term of goals ,i worried about his mental health, we will all be very sad, if the news ronaldo went to hospital because of that
@@gladstonericdsouza4102 ah i forgot that. because of this world cup, it looks like we will hear about the schedule for the second round of mental health consultations,🤣🤣
Sometimes 'I have won everything and I will continue to enjoy what I do is even more dangerous than I have nothing to lose.' I think he'd be even better
All time Champions league goal scorer. There is a player from his generation who is still ahead. If he wants that recored to stand for a long time he needs much more.
All levity aside Messi can opt to go back to South America and try to win the Copa Libertadores it has been won by a Brazilian club for the fourth straight year now and the last time Newell's Old Boys were in the final was 1992, they are a decent mid table club now who finished 12 points off the champions Boca in the Primera Division.
It’s about records now. 26 goals less than ronaldo with around 140 less games played. 1 more Balon D, or, try for 1 more Champs League, over 100 goals for Argentina, most Assist in CL history(2 away) and try for most goals in CL history. He has 2 good seasons left in him at top level football then will probably do a couple with Beckham in the US.
It still feel surreal that Argentina won it. As a life long Messi fan, I always considered him as goat but I didn’t see Argentina winning over the over talented teams of Brazil and France.
The only team sport with undebateable GOAT is basketball with Jordan as he dominated on and off the field The man shrinked the popularity gap between world #1 sport (football) and #2 sport basketball Football is yet to have GOAT because Leo only dominated on the field The GOAT will be somebody who achieve great things ala Messi, but also successful in widen again the popularity gap between football and next #2 popular sport
Difficult as football is already popular.. But, if possible, theoretically the GOAT will be a China player who achieve at least 95% of what Messi achieved and transformed China to big footballing nation
Let me explain Messi to you. He’s already thinking about the Champions League. 5 Copas 5th World Cup he wins it. 5th champions league he will win it. With Messi’s humility he will everything in his power to help Mbappe win PSG’s first UCL. Watch out for Messi and Mbappe this season
There was never a debate messi is playmaker a goalscorer a great passer,a genius hes all in one ...every great player has a weakness and falln short with these abilities but messi has it all and done it all football...give this guy his super ballondor...i hope i he goes to city to win a champions leaque ..i hope he never retires because he's the reason for the beauty of the game...the god of the game...a wise man once said in a jungle of so many worldclass players there is only one king a lion 🦁 a lion' el messi

Yes and goals goals goals. I think they can go far in the UCL. If they can tweak the tactics a bit.
This was my same thought, the very reason he wanted to leave barca was because he wanted to win one more UCL.

Messi with nothing more to achieve is gonna be more deadly. He's gonna be playing beautiful football just setting up goals for his teamattes, not saying he is not gonna score but I feel like we are gonna see more assist now
We've been seeing that,he will score good amount of goals,but as you said not alot like back in his prime
True inspiration. Rarely do you see this level of talent
At this point, if anything's left for Lionel Messi, then it's to come at Barca, just for one last time, not to deliver great plays(which he obviously does) but to be cherished by us Barca fans, in Barca ground, which we have longed for our entire lives. I just hope this plot is written in the script of Leo's life. That would make everything complete.
Barca fans to be honest didn't deserve Messi now... Considering how they treated him when he was forced to leave
@ Crazy Tech Guy: I know you're probably trolling but anyway... Messi is Zen Master, not Ronaldo ... he would not be mis guided by nostalgia for the past feelings of his old club , one he suffered a lot to leave. Never go back ( to your ex )
@@draoicht22 Bro, what part of my comment made you feel I am trolling. I have been Messi fan since I saw European football matches. Agreed, that he can have grudges with the club, but what about fans? Do you think Barca fans are so called "ex" to Messi? I highly doubt. Infact, Messi would have appreciated Barca fans anyday over PSG fans. We Barca fans would never Boo to Messi even if he played his the worst. I wanted him to return in Barca shirt just for the sake of Barca fans. Don't blame fans over the fault of management.
@@johnarterton8470 barca fans never wanted this btw..it was Laporta who did this thanks to the ridiculous actions of bartomeu…so blame the board
For Sure he will maange Argentina/Barca one day I feel. I mean, even if he's awful - doesn't matter small price to pay lol.
Messi should still play until he feel bored. Now for once he can play without any burden. ENJOY the new MESSI.
Bro, I think he nevers get bored with playing football. Imo, only a disastrous loss or catastrophic injury could put full stop to his tourney, but boredom?? I doubt..
@@crazytechguy5735 Every one will feel they are actually enjoying. The mind will always say yes but the body will not, after a while. In messi's case it might take a little longer.
It's not only about Messi it's also about the whole argentinian squad. Now that group don't have to prove anyone anything. They've won the ultimate trophy that's "the world cup". Usually that's the case, they might go on a roll where they can win everything for a few years may be even the next world cup by going on a roll. But the desire usually declines, It's human nature.
You just have to admire ALE...
Pele (in the 60s) played only in Brazil & USA against teams made up off farmers, fishermen, 9-5 working class people in the 60s. Maradona was better then Pele. Brazilian Ronaldo in his prime was better then Pele.
There are a handful of Goats but without a shadow of doubt Messi is the Sheikh of GOATs. The GREATEST by miles
This Is what I was telling a friend. Messi is about to become a beast. He has the free soul to play with no pressure.
Beautiful to watch, impossible to match
you know lionel messi is a true great when your peers on the opposite team admits it and tells others how much of a great player and the impact lionel had on his opponents and within his team. couldnt have happen to a better person all his achievements.
This definitely means ballon d’or #8
Honestly, imo this is the most right time for Messi to retire with honour. He has achieved everything in football.
not yet! he can still equal ronaldos 5 UCLS with PSG. Plus if he finishes this season he will win the ballon dor an 8th time! Then retire after this season
@@harrymorris6074 💯
@@harrymorris6074 nah he needs to get the club goal record and then stop
@@mehyeah2931 it's only 6 goals away. Overall only 25 goals. He will bridge the gap surely
@@harrymorris6074 he will sure will win the ballon dor regardless he plays or not... That's how high his status has gone.... And FIFA loves messi too
He's the best of all time ⛵
This is a lesson for everyone not to give up on their dreams, people like saka told messi to retire
From a Barca fan....please Leo come back and give us that champions league you promised to us,for the last time.🥺🥺
We are getting nowhere near that,like the world cup for Argentina.pls.
yes pls. if he wins the ucl anytime now it has to be with barca.
Messi has most wins, most trophies/honours, most club goals, most assists, an Olympic Gold and a World Cup title.
He's completed football. Literally nothing to add. Best part of all? He's done it in less time and less games than most greats like Ronaldo and he's still elite and going to play few more years so no one will ever reach his achievements. That is definition of the GOAT. Haters will disagree, but they know it's false. They just don't want to admit it. Hate also proves he's the GOAT. Official debate is over, so haters can keep on with the false debates. Messi is GOAT. All I hope is he gets to retire with Barcelona instead of enjoying semi-retirement life with Miami.
He will definately do his best for the rest of the season, trying to get the 8th Ballon D'or
2nd French penalty build up had a French hand deviating the ball to mbappe. VAR was chilling😐.
I can see Messi playing in Argentina for at least one year before retiring. People say he could have offers from MLS and Saudi but he’s already making a killing at PSG so I do think going back to Argentina will be on his mind.
If the man loves the game he can still play there won’t be any pressure on him because he’s done it all he could literally play for fun
Every Football fan - We were all so *so* lucky to have Witnessed & experienced this Great, maybe even greatest of eras. Messi: the Greatest Footballer of all Time.
I can only thank him & Argentina for this Greatness to the Best game on the Planet!
8th ballon d'or incoming...😏
After carrying so much pressure throughout the course of his footballing career and being Maradona's heir to the throne and failing numerous times then finally succeeding at the twilight of his career. I say let Messi do whatever he wants, he's earned it.
I mean even in 2014: he didn't fail. He was simply unlucky - his teammates failed him missing 2 Open goals and a hatful of chances vs Germany.
The man the machine the monster!
What a sportsman!
We all are just blessed to have seen him live on TV. U stand for the artistic part of football which is much much superior than today's goal hungry stats loving players. U r one of a kind. Take a bow.
He'll play till he stops enjoying it like he always said this just lifts all the weight from his shoulders
He will do it again at 2026 and in much better form..trust me🤫👿💪🏆🇦🇷.energy 🔥
Messi just completed his amazing football career. Since he's playing for PSG, I wanna see him lifting the PSG's 1st ever UCL trophy. Because of this 2022 WORLD CUP, He will surely win the 2022 FIFA BEST and 2023 Balon D'Or. We saw calm and relax Messi in this world cup. Goodness, his WC Final Penalty Shoot-out was unbelievable. He deserves it. Argentina deserves it. And after 20 years, a champion from South America emerged. Argentina, the best football fans all around the world deserves it too after 36 years. I can't still get over until now after 3 weeks.
He can now get into casual mode. Have some fun in his last seasons of football.
Messi is watching the credits now
He will probably give 100% for PSG now and perform great at psg i guess.
Messi is such a player that till the moment he is in pitch he will give 100% . And I think his motivation will be to bring champion league to PSG.
well this aged well. but it's sad for him nd mbappe to go out of the ucl. hopefully he wins one ucl before he retires.
Argentina won the World Cup not just because Messi played with a 'free soul' but because he played with his heart, body and soul and inspired the entire national team likewise. They would die on the field before they give up. They would sacrifice themself for Messi. And it gives him the platform to weave his magic. It doesn''t translate to PSG. First of all PSG is his employer, not his nation and roots. Secondly, because ironically Mbappe is there. He wouldn't sacrifice for Messi. So too Neymar. What you have would be three performers, who may or may not get together to work great magic. But to win something, you can't just have performers. You need warriors who fight for each other and for the team.
There is always new challenges. FA cup win with Stoke.
This guy does it all, even breaking records on instagram, just win a BPL title and he will solidify his name
When you have the urge to mention Messi to any others player,it mean.He is the STANDARD.
After myself making so many predictions about Argentina and the man himself Messi, imma make one more prediction.
I wouldn’t be surprised if Messi either retires way early than we expect. And I also wouldn’t be surprised if Messi plays the best football he does now that he’s got the burden of the national team off him, finally after 15 years. I feel like he wouldn’t even care tbh, unless he loses in a final of the CL or Copa America I think he really doesn’t care anymore.
He has truly completed football.
No comparison.
Messi is the undisputed GOAT of football. And that's a fact.
As a 40 yr old playing regular old Men's league soccer if you love futbol the motivation is and will always be there.
Now all left for Messi and us football fans is just to enjoy it while it last. Because we never know when will we get another Messi.
2:16 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 that "bye bye everybody" XD
Remember when Ronaldo said he wants to checkmate Lionel Messi. Remember when he said wants to have more Balon d‘ors and more golden shoes than him. Well guess what...Messi will retire with more golden shoes than him. Messi will retire with more balon d‘ors than him cause there’s no way Ronaldo will win another in his career. Messi now even has the best chances to wins his 8th at the end of the season. And Messi will retire with a world cup which Ronaldo will not win. Ronaldo does the talking off the field Messi does it on the field. Lionel Messi has successfully checkmated Cristiano Ronaldo and the funniest part is he probably doesn’t even care about it.
That 5th ucl! That’s what left, also cr7’s records in the ucl, if he wins that ucl… another ballon d’or! Then back to argentina to play for his first love
8th ballondor is already in his basket..
I totally agree with Ale Moreno, I think Messi will play even better from now on wit PSG. He has no pressure anymore and can still achieve more goals. If I think of this WC and see Messi Mbappe Neymar Hakimi etc. how they played. I think PSG is the favorite to win the Champions League. And maybe he can manage to break other records. Who knows.
Most realistic illuminated background of the Freiburg Merchant’s Hall I’ve ever seen.
Messi to MAN CITY next please 💙
Let him play until he feels like it because if he is playing he is playing because it's still fun for him.
I told my friend once comparing Messi to the rest of players apart from Maradona is blasphemy or sin
I wrote an essay on Messi in college. He said he’ll continue to play as long as he enjoys it. Once he’s no longer having fun, he’ll stop playing.
Aw man, I want him to play his game and put his best performance for the remainder of the season and possibly win another balon d’or 🙆🏾♂️
1 more UCL will put icing on the cake for Messi I think and ballon dor
no need for ballondor tbh, he has 7 another one will be great but now it's about ucl. that's it. nothing else matters.
Now that the GOAT has achieved everything and a free soul and all the pressures are off from his shoulder, he will play even more beautifully...
Messi at this point is like when you finish a game & now your just running around doing side quest
Messi is once in a Universe. Cristiano Ronaldo is once in a Millennium. Mbappe is once in a generation (but if his power scales rapidly he can overtake the goats)
Mbappe penalty is out of this world. He scored 3 goals vs the toughest GK in penalty. Given how hard to shot a penalty, Mbappe proved that he is on another level of great players. He is just not too motivated in club level like WC. If he had same motivation in club level, he would score nearly 100 goals a season.
@@bangrojai playing with toxic Messi and Neymar definitely won’t perform well but still doing it
@@joetyler7638 🤣🤣🤣🤣 “toxic Messi”
Put WORLD CUP CHAMP Messi at least
Dude I think u are watching dragon ball z too much.
Enjoy being the Goat and receive the love of the fans while he's still playing on the pitch - only thing left
Messi will play till he goes past C.Ronaldo in total goals tally
Maybe
Still better
King leo
Poor ronaldo ,if messi breaks all record ronaldo in term of goals ,i worried about his mental health, we will all be very sad, if the news ronaldo went to hospital because of that
@@BloodyofHistory Isn't CR7 already under therapy from Piers Morgan 😂
@@gladstonericdsouza4102 ah i forgot that. because of this world cup, it looks like we will hear about the schedule for the second round of mental health consultations,🤣🤣
Sometimes 'I have won everything and I will continue to enjoy what I do is even more dangerous than I have nothing to lose.'
I think he'd be even better
All time Champions league goal scorer. There is a player from his generation who is still ahead. If he wants that recored to stand for a long time he needs much more.
Leo Messi is the greatest player in the history of world football🐐
Before he retired,he needs to:
1.surpass Ronaldo all time goalscoring record
2.surpass Ronaldo's UCL records
All levity aside Messi can opt to go back to South America and try to win the Copa Libertadores it has been won by a Brazilian club for the fourth straight year now and the last time Newell's Old Boys were in the final was 1992, they are a decent mid table club now who finished 12 points off the champions Boca in the Primera Division.
It’s about records now. 26 goals less than ronaldo with around 140 less games played. 1 more Balon D, or, try for 1 more Champs League, over 100 goals for Argentina, most Assist in CL history(2 away) and try for most goals in CL history.
He has 2 good seasons left in him at top level football then will probably do a couple with Beckham in the US.
Messi has never lost a motivation
It still feel surreal that Argentina won it. As a life long Messi fan, I always considered him as goat but I didn’t see Argentina winning over the over talented teams of Brazil and France.
The only team sport with undebateable GOAT is basketball with Jordan as he dominated on and off the field
The man shrinked the popularity gap between world #1 sport (football) and #2 sport basketball
Football is yet to have GOAT because Leo only dominated on the field
The GOAT will be somebody who achieve great things ala Messi, but also successful in widen again the popularity gap between football and next #2 popular sport
Difficult as football is already popular..
But, if possible, theoretically the GOAT will be a China player who achieve at least 95% of what Messi achieved and transformed China to big footballing nation
Football addict who don't watch other sports may disagree with this haha
he can still win another balon dor and the CL, the former he probably wins regardless how psg do this season
He's the same age as Pique and Fabregas. Think about that.
My List of 8 greatest Players:
Messi
Pele
Maradona
Ronaldo(Portugal)
Cruyff
Zidane
Ronaldinho
Ronaldo(Brazil)
Ronaldo is the best on social media, Messi is the best in football🐐🐐
This Messi documentary is going to be better than this World Cup
the goat debate is settled u fortunately. its messi. settled but an attribute that is beyond measure: team player. not always about urself
Let me explain Messi to you. He’s already thinking about the Champions League. 5 Copas 5th World Cup he wins it. 5th champions league he will win it. With Messi’s humility he will everything in his power to help Mbappe win PSG’s first UCL. Watch out for Messi and Mbappe this season
Imagine if Messi was still at Barca and he came back with the World Cup at the Camp Nou
There was never a debate messi is playmaker a goalscorer a great passer,a genius hes all in one ...every great player has a weakness and falln short with these abilities but messi has it all and done it all football...give this guy his super ballondor...i hope i he goes to city to win a champions leaque ..i hope he never retires because he's the reason for the beauty of the game...the god of the game...a wise man once said in a jungle of so many worldclass players there is only one king a lion 🦁 a lion' el messi
I think the WC really is rigged. In the sense that Messi even is allowed to play because he is definetely not from this world.
GOAT is again gonna go to another level
