Floppy haired Messi? PFFF! What I really enjoy about Messi is the different iterations. This Messi was a dribbling savant - one could argue that this player, in this mould, is one of the best of all time. But the monster evolved into different things. The dude that just won the World Cup is so different in many ways, yet same player. And would still be one of the best of all time. Astounding.
12:30 That’s Leo for you. Truly the GOAT. Messi's dribbling and control of the ball is on realm of its own, no one can do it like him, it's an innate talent he was born with and perfected it. His style revolves around keeping the ball close to himself as if it were stuck to him and never letting it go. It’s simply that when Messi is on the ball, everything else fades into the background. With other players you talk about ball control, but Messi is beyond control. He never appears to be moving the ball so much as moving with it, the two of them -Leo and the ball - performing an intricate, magnetic pas de deux, slaloming hypnotically around everything in their path. The way he dribbles past his opponents seemingly without making any big visible feint while always keeping the same pace even when turning makes his movements feel like water in a flowing river and you being a rock. It's a simple motion but you can't stop it, unless you brute-force your way past it.
Thats why he was compared to the great Diego from day1. It's actually no1 close to him after WC win. Forever the goat. Maybel Yamal can do half of what he did
One, if not, my most favorite match of him. You can just see the hunger. Idk about y'all but after i saw that play inside the box with no diving, i considered him my GOAT since.
5:28 This is the dribble that always gets to me- how high were his instincts that he knew to do this? These are the kinds of things that great players can do, whether they win the World Cup or not. This is pure football talent.
Now I'm watching This magician is struggling With a shit club and teammates😓Idk is this the end of his domination or not but i have been watching his games since he was young and I'm pretty sure he is greatest player ever touches the ball
He’s still playing brilliantly for his national side, which shows he still definitely has it in him. If his club side gets sorted out as well, I think we’ll see another incredible Messi season ahead of us
i can bet this is the best drrible ever because in such tight space there were seemingly 7 players and drrible passed 5 and run away from 6th so in total 6 player and all in just 1 sec i think there no player that can attempt that ever in football his drrible vs athletic bilbao one has 9 players and drrible passed 5 and 1 attempt foul tackle
Entiendo porque Cani se enojo asi. Si estuviera jugando contra ESTE Messi, igual de frustrado estaria. Todo el tiempo en mi cabeza "que putas, como es TAN bueno??"
I am thinking of Yamal now. This was Messi pretty old 19-20? Before Pep turned him into a monster. Pep changed everything that was bad. Ronaldinho partying. They won in 2006 he had done it all. But its really crazy how Yamal decides a semi final. Absolute mental. Still Leo I rate abit over like Diego can dribble a little bit better with those small touches. Yamal can develop that he just gained 10 cm according to Deco. A little bit clumsy right now he will adopt! Just look at Euro19 he was much smaller
Absolutely mental the amount of La Liga Messi won when you now how rigged it is to the white ones. CR7 2 in 9 in the best team. Messi in Madrid would have been unfair
To be honest, HD quality was around before. For example you can find HD footage of 1998 World Cup and occasional club matches from early 2000s like Clasicos or UCL finals in HD. But it was quite rare back then.
That was the dream gig for me to commentate on Messi's career, Garry Birtles alongside me this night.
Wow, thank you for the comment Kevin. Lots more vintage Messi on my channel if you are interested, many with Sky Sports commentary.
@@RaheemComps Not seen that coverage back before...nice memories.
wait is that you? the commentator?
Holy shit. What a legend
Is he the best you’ve ever seen?

5:45 cruyff predicted the goats career
Messi's 23 dribbles in a game against Villarreal, 2007/08
Hola hola
Thats why he was compared to the great Diego from day1. It's actually no1 close to him after WC win. Forever the goat. Maybel Yamal can do half of what he did
This Villarreal team we’re la liga runners up
In this match Leo completed 23 successful dribbles. I don't think any other player has done this.
2nd best is ronaldo with 20
@@euphoriaggaminghd but bro quality of these drribles are unmatacable
@@euphoriaggaminghd Ronaldo 20 dribbles attempts, 14 dribbles success
Yo vi 20 regates que hizo, no le sumen cosas que no fueron. Sin mencionar el penal regalado

Greatest Of All Time
12:30 dude just dribbles five players in a couple of seconds and passes the ball like it was nothing 🤣
What a ball control! Young Messi is something unreal.
Messi, campeon del mundo 2022👏
MESSI EL MEJOR DE LA HISTTORIA
12:30 master class
14:52 Love how Henry is just standing there in awe, like the rest of us 😂
And this is the best ever Premier League player
Every match he play is a masterpiece
Apenas apreciando o GOAT 🐐

@@michaelfariyibi5146 Yah He is looking in good shape this season. I saw his pre season games, man regained his speed and quick body fient
He plays for PSG not Real betis
they still compete for Champions League and are top of Ligue 1 table
@@vaibhavsharma6872 Psg playing with egoistic players, even in the last gam Mbappe proved that
@@lapulgamagic8386 So you're basically saying its messi and Neymar who are going to carry PSG ahead further down the years lol
Ni los caracoles hacen tanto caracoleo como Messi en ese partido aún lo recuerdo en 2008. Eso fue brutalisimo.
12:30 the moment
Man the refereeing was shocking back in the day
Cyan didn’t deserve this red card. Messi was just getting rid of an obstacle. Pure genius.
12:30 será este el regate más dificil de todos los tiempos?
Hasta ahora nadie sabe como se metio entre 5 y salio como si nada ,en espacios cortos sin duda es el mejor regateador
i can bet this is the best drrible ever because in such tight space there were seemingly 7 players and drrible passed 5 and run away from 6th so in total 6 player and all in just 1 sec

Bojan was like ayo me too🧍🏻♂️
Leo took the the exact like penalty calmly at wc final stage and won it
How did tv quality improve from this 2007/8 season to 08/09 so much 😂😂

5:57 And he did
18:00 que descarado ese arbitro para cobrar tal penal inexistible
Tanta gente na frente dele, en lá época no existia var
Genius
Klo kena body lawan di kotak penalti bisa saja dia terjatuh biar dikasi penalti, tp messi tdk suka diving dan merengek rengek minta penalti
12:29
12:35 is that really offside?
Runs at everyone…terrorizing
And Johan Cruyff was right
