Messi is South American from Argentina🇦🇷, At 23 he was already considered the GOAT which is pretty crazy…Statistically he’s the best passer, dribbler, and One of the Best Goal-scorers ever…
In 2012 Messi broke the record for most goals scored in a year....91 goals in just 69 matches. For reference, that year Ronaldo scored 63 - which is impressive. But to put how mind blowing what Messi did was into perspective....the entire TEAM of Manchester United scored 85 goals that year. PSG (Paris Saint-Germain) scored 86. Chelsea had 87. Messi ALONE out scored the top teams in Europe... there is no debate 🐐.
And 22 assists is cherry on top. 113 goal contributions in 69 games no player has ever given 100+ goal contributions in a calneder year in football his not even Pele his best was 95 goal contributions. Messi is God of the game, The God of the game.
Just watch his passing and dribbling videos you will be even more mind blown. The greatest thing about him is he doesn't even need to score to be the best player on the pitch, but he does both in pretty much every game. There will never be a player like Messi again. An absolute joy to watch
Messi turns 36 years old in june 24 this year, last year he won the world cup, the only cup he didn't already have. Watch messi vs manchester united 2011 champions league! Very good game and performance of him.
this really is only the tiniest of glimpse into his talents. man gave millions of people indescribable joy and will continue to give since over 20 years
Definitely so amazing to see someone seeing Messi for the first time and seeing the genuine reaction of awe. So many more highlights you must see of the Greatest of All Time!
There are hundreds of great highlight videos. He would have scored so many more goals if every team on the planet wasn't spending all of their energy trying to figure out how to stop him. After his first couple of seasons, everyone knew what he could do. And, they often went out there to injure him -- esp Real Madrid. Even while bleeding from various parts of his body, he tore them up.
Lionel Andrês Messi From Rosario, Santa Fe (Argentina) Height : 1.7 m (5 foot 7 inches) Age : 35 But still despite of his height and age He has still proven everyone in the modern era of football that he's still the best and ever will be until he retires. THE (🐐) OF (⚽)
In 2015 messi scored a goal that was scientifically proven to be impossible to score in that test. Messi went from 0 to 19 mph in a blink of an eye with the ball under his feet and 3 defender in feet 5 of him. That acceleration is equal to an American speed star Jamal Charles but messi did it with a ball in his feet and 3 defender trying to block him. The guy is truly an Alien. 8:00 that's the goal i was talking about
Messi whole career . 1041 games played 819 goals scored 361 assists made G/A 1180 in 1041 games played . he has either scored a goal or assisted a goal in every single game of his career . Lionel Messi GOAT
Messi won.......... everything. His achievements and records are insane. Nobody ever won that Messi won. Messi>Maradona>Pele>>>>>>>>> Cristiano Ronaldo
Any game of Messi in the 2010/2011 season I recommend, he was carnage for whole defenses that season. Or Messi vs City when he was playing with Suarez and Neymar upfront, he didn't score in that CL game but he was so good that game. I have seen every single minute of this genius of a player. No one comes close to his overall footballing game, he isn't comparable to anyone, he is in a multiverse of his own.
Do try to find and watch videos of Messi at five years old; his is a beautiful gift that he worked hard to grow and polish. We're blessed to have been born in this era of the game.
I liked so many of these comments. As a mega Messi fan since 2006 I’m always happy to see videos like this. I’ve been watching RUclips videos about Messi since 2007. It’s what I use RUclips for…more than anything else. I’m not alone. Billions of others would agree. He’s never changed even. He’s always played the same and been the same rich or poor humble and faithful. He’s one of the best famous athletes out there. He always has the same celebration in grace of his grandmother who forced the coach to let him play with all the other children after they said he was too small. He’s also the best athlete for Adidas “Impossible is nothing” 2006 commercial..He’s the God of futbol. 🙏 ⚽️ ❤
Messi is probably the most talented player in the history of football. He was scouted by Spain's Barcelona while he was only 12 years old playing in Argentina which is not normal at all. When they flew him out to spain for tryouts, he blew away everyone with his talent
Watching messi playing Football is treat to my eyes bro... I also didn't like football earlier but after witnessing Messi's magic i was like who the fuck this man is
Argentinean at 18 he was a beast. He is 37 now and can still make players look stupid. If you want to see the best of Messi watch the destruction he did in the 2011/2012 season. for Barca. At 16 years old when he started playing with the varsity squad he was making superstar players nuts with his dribbling skills to the point of fouling him in order to stop him.
Messi is an Argentinian of Italian ancestry. He has played most of his life in Spain for club team Barcelona. His style of play is similar to Diego Maradona, also an Argentinian of Italian ancestry, who played twenty years before him, but Messi was a more prolific goal scorer. He is the best dribbler, the best goal scorer and one of the best passers in football. He absolutely reminds me of Barry Sanders, it's the best comp in American sports. Watch the Real Madrid-Barcelona game from 4/23/17, Barcelona won 3-2. It's the biggest rivalry in the sport.
Absolutely too class reaction my American friend. I will sub. Some stuff for you: 1) Messi is Argentinian, but he lived in Spain from about age 10 or maybe earlier, training in the Barcelona academy. 2) I have Messi and Pele as my top two all time. I have cr7 somewhere in the next 9 which are really hard to order. I’d love to recommend videos for you of the other 8. Most people don’t know them all. I’m not even going back before the 70s: Here are two of them. - Romario by MatigolVidz - Zico by futbol nacional It is had to compare eras as the boots and the football are different and especially the pitch quality. Also defenders used to do hacks from behind a lot and destroy the skilled players and break up the play. Watch some of the Barcelona v Real Madrid games which are called ‘el Classico’ with Messi starting.
Ronaldo is a fantastic shooter however Messi is a unbelievable playmaker, shooter, dribbler, passer etc 😂 There are a few old Barcelona games you can see on RUclips. The Classico’s are always a good watch 👍 A few Messi videos I would recommend are the game through the eyes of Leo Messi, Messi Vs Physics, Messi a god amongst men, The Messi Era 😉🐐
Great video! I'd love to see a reaction to a vid called 'When 20 year old Messi broke every dribbling record'. It's just pure explosive energy, hypnotising almost! Long haired Messi is my favourite version of him. 😂 In terms of full games, there's an amazing channel called Raheem Comps that has loads of games when he was younger up until now. Mainly focusing on his early career. They're also great to watch in your spare time as well.
for whom who ever played this sport it's understandable how hard it is to dribble only one defender so now imagine that this guy passed through 5 defenders for not just once or twice but he has 3000+ dribblings in his career which is the most in history..btw ronaldo has a half of it.. also in that video there are like 2% of his greatness, u should check his assists, which are from the other world, like dribbling is the one thing - doing kinda impossible, but his vision and passing ability is just not human..btw he has the most assist in history too, as the most playmaker awards, as ballon d'ors (mvps) as golden boots (the best scorer title), will soon become the most decorated player, he has the most individual awards, he has always been decisive in the big games..even that he's 36 and people called him finished he managed to win the wc with it's golden ball and probably will win another mvp title which will be his 8th, and to define his greatness just by that mvp titles imagine that until messi and ronaldo the most that was ever won was 3 mvp titles..but what's more amazing is that he won it 4 in a row when he was 22-25 years old, so he was already considered as a goat even at 23.. "he's just a god of the game, the god of the game"
You can still enjoy him because he is still playing. But you can't see the old version of Messi. He was fast and dribble the every players. He is a most complete offensive player ever in history...... People even call him cheat code. He can solve the situation from any where on ground. Messi is all in one offensive playmaker.❤
Messi suffered from growth hormone deficiency as a kid. And soccer isn't just about scoring goals, the more you understand the game , the more you appreciate other aspects of it.
I Just suscribed to your Channel bc you had 499 i wanted to be the 500. I liked your reaction video, you should do a couple more about Messi. No ronaldo, he' s a hack. Always was
@@EdwardNDavis I’m not actually sure but I think so, he had taken growth hormones and certain medical drugs as a child as he grew up with a type of dwarfism, was predicted 4’7 yet at the age of 13 Barcelona decided to pay for all his treatment so is 5’7
@@EdwardNDavis they test 2-3 players selected at random from each team at the end of every professional match. Messi has been tested dozens upon dozens of times over his career, never ever found to have any performance enhancement drugs in his system. It's all natural.
You asked what race he is. People think he's an alien. But his birth certificate says Argentina. And of course, Messi is the GOAT and it's not even close. Because he's not only arguably the best goalscorer, but also the best passer (most assists in history) and best dribbler.
Without Messi, Ronaldo would be considered the top footballer of all time. Messi is the best dribbler of all time (I've never seen ANYONE go through 5 or more players as often as Messi. Other superstars would have a handful of such instances in their career. Messi could have an hour of highlights just on his dribbling, Barry Sanders style - he can change directions 3 times in the same time the defender can move one way), the best scorer of all time, and the best quarterback/point guard of all time (based on number of assists). You haven't seen anything yet. He once scored 91 goals during one year (not counting assists), something that nobody has ever seen.
He is from Argentina. His origin is Italy. A lot of Argentinians have Italian origin.So he is technically Latin and European. He spent most of his life in Barcelona,Sapin.And he had long hair before, when he was young.
There is a player considered as one of the all time great dribblers named Ronaldinho once said that if Messi would have retried at age of 23 even that young he would have left sport as greatest of all time (G.O.A.T 🐐) already.
To fully understand Messi's career, there are TWO videos you must watch: 1. The Messi Era official (by Magical Messi) 2. The story: Lionel Messi (by Magical Messi)
Messi's ethnic background is mostly northern Italian, with some Spanish. He is an human anomaly on many aspects. First is his acceleration, From his late teens to his late 20s, he needed very little distance and time to accelerate at absurd speeds. The goal at 7:57 is a good example of this. Second is his balance. We witnessed him dribling players while the soles of his feet were not even looking at the ground. He has a much lower center of gravity than most adult males. He looks unbalanced and about fall but he just keeps dribbling players. It doesen't matter If the defender is 9 inces taller and 45 lbs heavier, a typical physical altercation shoulder to shoulder results in the big defender falling down. Many people would disaagre with me however third is the most important thing about messi is not his vision, not his shooting nor reflexes. The most important thing about him i His tolerance againts getting hurt and injured. Messi suffered from growth hormone deficiency in his childhood and received hormone treatment. ıf he hadn't undergone treatment, he would have remained shorter than 4''9. The second most important gain of hormone therapy for Messi is extreme durability.He was subjected to fouls that could have forced the retirement of many professional athletes and resulted in multiple surgeries over more than a year. But he got up in less than a minute and just continued playing. So in his absolute peak, there was no player in history on football that can stop him on 1v1. In a tussle with him and a 6"5 defender, he could batter down the defender because of his abnormal balance. In a 1v7 situation he was able to dribble all of them because he is the best dribbler in this sports history, and If you just want to hurt and injure him you would get a red card and kicked off from the game and then he would get up 15 seconds later and continue playing. When you consider he is also the best passer of all time and one of the best, If not the best playmaker of all time it is pretty obvious that he is the GOAT. At 5:03 you see 23 years old destroying Madrid. In 2010/11 season he was 23 years old an he was performing better than every legend in football history.
There is a video i think its called messi physics it sows a goal he scored in a cup final taking 4 players on it stops and tells you how fast he accellerated how far he carried the ball keeping the ball close to him and the final shot of how precise it had to be to score the goal its amazing take a look its all calculate by an american comentator
The funniest comment about him is one I heard from Roy Hudson: "He makes the defenders look like garden gnomes". A couple of points: 1) You asked what "race" Messi is. Like about 85% of Argentinians, many of whom are descendants of Europeans, particularly Spaniards and Italians, he's Caucasian. 2) As for the different hair lengths, etc., bear in mind that these highlights span over a period of approx. 18-20 years, which is how long he's been playing as a professional. He had longer hair when younger, in recent years he has had shorter hair and a beard. One year he even dyed his hair white (glad he got over that fad!). 3) You also asked whether he was on some kind of performance enhancement drug. When he was a boy he was subjected to growth hormone therapy at puberty for genetic reasons bcs if they let nature take its course, he would have only reached 5 ft in height at best. But in terms of any performance enhancement stuff, they test 3-4 players at random every single match, and Messi has had to pee in a cup hundreds of times, without there ever being a positive. So no, emphatically no, he does not take any kind of performance enhancement drugs - he doesn't need them!!
As a Ronaldo fan from age 7, Messi is the best. He's different. But, check out my favourite player: Ronaldinho. We all love him. He might not be as efficient as Messi, bodying a 100 defenders at once. But he pulls off street football tricks in real games, embarrassing pro defenders, having fun on the pitch, and making you question whether he put a spell on the ball.
I love how u draw comparisons to NFL-players from watching Messi. For me it was the other way around when I was getting into American Football about 7 years ago. You gotta watch Messi's 'the Goat-Movie' on youtube. If you don't wanna do a reaction to that one, just watch it for yourself😄🤙🏼
Final match from copa del rey Barcelona against athletic Bilbao... I saw that game live, and in that game Messi was from another planet, but i see him in every game from another planet... So start and watch all his games career xD...
Messi was born in Rosario de Santa fe a province of Argentina at a young age he moved to Barcelona and started hi Career with Futbol club Barcelona and the rest is history.
Watch this games: Barcelona 3 x 1 Manchester United - Champions League Final 2011 Barcelona 5 x 0 Real Madrid - 2010 Real Madrid 2 x 6 Barcelona - 2009 Barcelona 3 x 0 Liverpool - Champions League Semi Final 2019 And every game of Argentina in the World Cup 2022
Messi is ARGENTINIAN and Plays for His Country Argentina in INTER-NATIONAL Tournaments like the WORLD CUP or COPA AMERICA both of which he has won in the span of Last 2 years. In his CLUB football Career , He Played for FC BARCELONA for 21 years ,17 years in the Senior Team of FCB, in Spanish Footbal League called LA LIGA. He's Joined Club Paris Saint Germain (PSG) which is in French Footbal League called LIGUE 1, he's been There Since 2021.
Messi is the GOAT! No player receives the ball like Messi at all. You could make an outstanding just about that. I kinda questioned your credentials as an agent til you made the comparison to Gale Sayers. Your definitely legit my brother.
Every sport has these players! Some times you have to wait 20-30 yrs for it to materialize. Argentina is where he's from. On a deeper dive you'll learn about the countries deep routes in football
messi is a white South American latino. he was born and raised in Rosario, Argentina and then moved to Barcelona , Spain to attend Barca’s youth academy while accompanied by his dad. He had to move because his youth academy in Argentina could not afford his medical treatment for an endocrine disease that affected his pituitary gland. he needed like weekly injections between the ages 13-16 bc his gland was dysfunctional and not producing any human growth hormone which in turn leads to lack of any normal growth/maturation of major organs, connective tissue, bone density, vision, etc. this was a big deal not just for basic living but especially in football at that time bc they would have height/weight requirements for every age group in order to even be considered to join a youth academy (he was always in the lowest percentile). Contrary to some ignorant people online, his brief medical treatment had not “juiced him up” it was simply bribing him to barely average metrics of avg height and gave him a semi normal range of metric you can change with exercise/training such as weight, strength, endurance. Even for the avg height in Argentina for males he is still considered below avg so you really can’t claim that his skills that make him unique and powerful are all due to a brief medically necessary treatment that still made him below avg for height and weight, etc.
Messi - Nationality: Argentina - Ethnicity: Latin American (Latino) - Race: White, Euro-Latino - Familial History: Great-great (+)grandparents on both sides are Spanish and Italian but mostly Italian (like many Latinos from Southern Brazil, Uruguay, Argentina) South America has way more diversity in ethnicity and race than Central America and the Caribbean. He is a white Latino (remember that “Latino” is a ethnicity indicating you are from Latin America which only includes Central America, South America, parts of the Caribbean such as Puerto Rico, Cuba, Dominican Republic, and Cuba- you can be any race in Latin America and often there is so much mixing someone may present as white but have like 20% indigenous, 6% African, etc.). I recommend looking at the history of Latin America (their history across ALL a countries in Latin America is just as racist as the US but was done in a different way- the US separated races in the beginning while in Latin America they urged mixing to “better the race” essentially “whitening out” the population in every territory that was ruled by Spain and/or Portugal at the time.
If u want full games watch Barcelona vs Manchester United 2011 UCL final, Barcelona vs Liverpool 2019 semi-final 1st leg, Barcelona vs Arsenal UCL quarter finals 2010 4-1. There are many many many more games but these are some of the top of my head that would be an interesting watch
Clip: Maradona vs Messi: Goal of the Century Full Match: Barcelona 6-1 PSG March 8, 2017 International: Olmypic Gold Medal 2008, Copa America 2021, Finalissima 2022, World Cup 2022 And ANY videos on the MagicalMessi Channel on RUclips. Enjoy✌️
The thing about Messi is that this video only shows the fraction of what he's capable of and what he did. He does stuff like this regularly. Going through 2 or 3 defenders isn't that big of a deal for him
Bro u were living under a rock! Messi is unmatch! That header in this highlight was against Cristiano Renaldo's manchester united. The only Uefa champions league final played by those two and obviously Barcelona's Messi crushed MU! Messi is from Argentina, the land of real football! Dont call it soccer bro, American football is new compared to real Football! Vamos Argentina campeones del mundo papa! 🇦🇷⭐️⭐️⭐️🇦🇷
Watch real madrid-barcelona 2-3 from 2017, most heated match in spain and probably Europe, full stadium, goals, clutch moments, goalkeeper saves, red cards, Messi vs Ronaldo, the ultimate gateway match for a non soccer fan
Messi is Argentinian, just won the World Cup in Qatar last year, goals in total for club and country 805 and still counting. The G.O.A.T.
Messi is an Argentinian by nationality, though he has spent most of his life playing for FC Barcelona in Spain.
Thank you

very interesting to see a sports agent this personal
Messi has the best ball control and is the fastest player with the ball recorded ever, he also runs at about 20mph with the ball
That’s insane. Has he ever been tested for performance enchantments?
@@EdwardNDavis I’m not actually sure but I think so, he had taken growth hormones and certain medical drugs as a child as he grew up with a type of dwarfism, was predicted 4’7 yet at the age of 13 Barcelona decided to pay for all his treatment so is 5’7
@@EdwardNDavis they test 2-3 players selected at random from each team at the end of every professional match. Messi has been tested dozens upon dozens of times over his career, never ever found to have any performance enhancement drugs in his system. It's all natural.
There ain't no drug in the world that can make you this good bro.
You asked what race he is. People think he's an alien. But his birth certificate says Argentina.
And of course, Messi is the GOAT and it's not even close. Because he's not only arguably the best goalscorer, but also the best passer (most assists in history) and best dribbler.
Without Messi, Ronaldo would be considered the top footballer of all time. Messi is the best dribbler of all time (I've never seen ANYONE go through 5 or more players as often as Messi. Other superstars would have a handful of such instances in their career. Messi could have an hour of highlights just on his dribbling, Barry Sanders style - he can change directions 3 times in the same time the defender can move one way), the best scorer of all time, and the best quarterback/point guard of all time (based on number of assists). You haven't seen anything yet. He once scored 91 goals during one year (not counting assists), something that nobody has ever seen.
#Messi officiallyb🐐🐐🐐
He is from Argentina. His origin is Italy. A lot of Argentinians have Italian origin.So he is technically Latin and European. He spent most of his life in Barcelona,Sapin.And he had long hair before, when he was young.
There is a player considered as one of the all time great dribblers named Ronaldinho once said that if Messi would have retried at age of 23 even that young he would have left sport as greatest of all time (G.O.A.T 🐐) already.
To fully understand Messi's career, there are TWO videos you must watch:
1. The Messi Era official (by Magical Messi)
2. The story: Lionel Messi (by Magical Messi)
His stats and the things he does makes him the best of all time!
Messi is definitely the fastest player with the ball in his feet
Messi's ethnic background is mostly northern Italian, with some Spanish.
He is an human anomaly on many aspects.
First is his acceleration, From his late teens to his late 20s, he needed very little distance and time to accelerate at absurd speeds. The goal at 7:57 is a good example of this.
Second is his balance. We witnessed him dribling players while the soles of his feet were not even looking at the ground. He has a much lower center of gravity than most adult males. He looks unbalanced and about fall but he just keeps dribbling players. It doesen't matter If the defender is 9 inces taller and 45 lbs heavier, a typical physical altercation shoulder to shoulder results in the big defender falling down.
Many people would disaagre with me however third is the most important thing about messi is not his vision, not his shooting nor reflexes.
The most important thing about him i His tolerance againts getting hurt and injured.
Messi suffered from growth hormone deficiency in his childhood and received hormone treatment. ıf he hadn't undergone treatment, he would have remained shorter than 4''9. The second most important gain of hormone therapy for Messi is extreme durability.He was subjected to fouls that could have forced the retirement of many professional athletes and resulted in multiple surgeries over more than a year. But he got up in less than a minute and just continued playing.
So in his absolute peak, there was no player in history on football that can stop him on 1v1. In a tussle with him and a 6"5 defender, he could batter down the defender because of his abnormal balance. In a 1v7 situation he was able to dribble all of them because he is the best dribbler in this sports history, and If you just want to hurt and injure him you would get a red card and kicked off from the game and then he would get up 15 seconds later and continue playing.
When you consider he is also the best passer of all time and one of the best, If not the best playmaker of all time it is pretty obvious that he is the GOAT.
At 5:03 you see 23 years old destroying Madrid. In 2010/11 season he was 23 years old an he was performing better than every legend in football history.
Messi’s the only player that has 4-5 players running after him… man’s the GOAT🙌🏾
The greatest ever💜
There is a video i think its called messi physics it sows a goal he scored in a cup final taking 4 players on it stops and tells you how fast he accellerated how far he carried the ball keeping the ball close to him and the final shot of how precise it had to be to score the goal its amazing take a look its all calculate by an american comentator
The funniest comment about him is one I heard from Roy Hudson: "He makes the defenders look like garden gnomes".
A couple of points:
1) You asked what "race" Messi is. Like about 85% of Argentinians, many of whom are descendants of Europeans, particularly Spaniards and Italians, he's Caucasian.
2) As for the different hair lengths, etc., bear in mind that these highlights span over a period of approx. 18-20 years, which is how long he's been playing as a professional. He had longer hair when younger, in recent years he has had shorter hair and a beard. One year he even dyed his hair white (glad he got over that fad!).
3) You also asked whether he was on some kind of performance enhancement drug. When he was a boy he was subjected to growth hormone therapy at puberty for genetic reasons bcs if they let nature take its course, he would have only reached 5 ft in height at best. But in terms of any performance enhancement stuff, they test 3-4 players at random every single match, and Messi has had to pee in a cup hundreds of times, without there ever being a positive. So no, emphatically no, he does not take any kind of performance enhancement drugs - he doesn't need them!!
As a Ronaldo fan from age 7, Messi is the best. He's different. But, check out my favourite player: Ronaldinho.
We all love him. He might not be as efficient as Messi, bodying a 100 defenders at once. But he pulls off street football tricks in real games, embarrassing pro defenders, having fun on the pitch, and making you question whether he put a spell on the ball.
He’s an alien he’s not from this planet
I love how u draw comparisons to NFL-players from watching Messi. For me it was the other way around when I was getting into American Football about 7 years ago. You gotta watch Messi's 'the Goat-Movie' on youtube. If you don't wanna do a reaction to that one, just watch it for yourself😄🤙🏼
Final match from copa del rey Barcelona against athletic Bilbao... I saw that game live, and in that game Messi was from another planet, but i see him in every game from another planet... So start and watch all his games career xD...
He was born in Rosario, Argentina.
Is the most great player in the football history ever see.
Messi es Argentino y el mejor del mundo papa!! Saludos desde Còrdoba Argentina.
he looks like a man amongst boys, couse he's a god amongst men.
you should watch "lionel messi world cup highlights" none of those highlights you saw were from this tournament. 35 year old messi dominating.
magical messi has a good video about it
Messi was born in Rosario de Santa fe a province of Argentina at a young age he moved to Barcelona and started hi Career with Futbol club Barcelona and the rest is history.
Welcome to the club! There will be another Messi, not exactly, but there will be another player that will captivate us like this
Ya, probably his son 😂😂
The GOAT
Finally someone get the Barry Sanders comparison!
When ronaldo scores people say wow but when Messi scores people say How
They're both great in different ways
you should watch his highlights when he was a toddler
Messi itself is performance enhancement
Watch this games:
Barcelona 3 x 1 Manchester United - Champions League Final 2011
Barcelona 5 x 0 Real Madrid - 2010
Real Madrid 2 x 6 Barcelona - 2009
Barcelona 3 x 0 Liverpool - Champions League Semi Final 2019
And every game of Argentina in the World Cup 2022
Messi is ARGENTINIAN and Plays for His Country Argentina in INTER-NATIONAL Tournaments like the WORLD CUP or COPA AMERICA both of which he has won in the span of Last 2 years.
In his CLUB football Career , He Played for FC BARCELONA for 21 years ,17 years in the Senior Team of FCB, in Spanish Footbal League called LA LIGA.
He's Joined Club Paris Saint Germain (PSG) which is in French Footbal League called LIGUE 1, he's been There Since 2021.
Thats the exact reaction of mine whenever i see him in a match
His center of gravity is ridiculous
Congratulations, You've exoerienced Messi
Messi is the GOAT! No player receives the ball like Messi at all. You could make an outstanding just about that. I kinda questioned your credentials as an agent til you made the comparison to Gale Sayers. Your definitely legit my brother.
Someone once commented... 'Cristiano Ronaldo makes the easy goals look difficult... Lionel Messi makes difficult goals look easy...' 😁
Messi Messi is the best player in history nobady comes even close Messi is the GOAT ❤❤❤..HAWE SENN MESSI 20 YEARS
Every sport has these players! Some times you have to wait 20-30 yrs for it to materialize. Argentina is where he's from. On a deeper dive you'll learn about the countries deep routes in football
messi is a white South American latino. he was born and raised in Rosario, Argentina and then moved to Barcelona , Spain to attend Barca’s youth academy while accompanied by his dad. He had to move because his youth academy in Argentina could not afford his medical treatment for an endocrine disease that affected his pituitary gland. he needed like weekly injections between the ages 13-16 bc his gland was dysfunctional and not producing any human growth hormone which in turn leads to lack of any normal growth/maturation of major organs, connective tissue, bone density, vision, etc. this was a big deal not just for basic living but especially in football at that time bc they would have height/weight requirements for every age group in order to even be considered to join a youth academy (he was always in the lowest percentile). Contrary to some ignorant people online, his brief medical treatment had not “juiced him up” it was simply bribing him to barely average metrics of avg height and gave him a semi normal range of metric you can change with exercise/training such as weight, strength, endurance. Even for the avg height in Argentina for males he is still considered below avg so you really can’t claim that his skills that make him unique and powerful are all due to a brief medically necessary treatment that still made him below avg for height and weight, etc.
Messi
- Nationality: Argentina
- Ethnicity: Latin American (Latino)
- Race: White, Euro-Latino
- Familial History: Great-great (+)grandparents on both sides are Spanish and Italian but mostly Italian (like many Latinos from Southern Brazil, Uruguay, Argentina)
South America has way more diversity in ethnicity and race than Central America and the Caribbean. He is a white Latino (remember that “Latino” is a ethnicity indicating you are from Latin America which only includes Central America, South America, parts of the Caribbean such as Puerto Rico, Cuba, Dominican Republic, and Cuba- you can be any race in Latin America and often there is so much mixing someone may present as white but have like 20% indigenous, 6% African, etc.). I recommend looking at the history of Latin America (their history across ALL a countries in Latin America is just as racist as the US but was done in a different way- the US separated races in the beginning while in Latin America they urged mixing to “better the race” essentially “whitening out” the population in every territory that was ruled by Spain and/or Portugal at the time.
let‘s say it this way before i‘ve seen messi, i didn‘t know football could be played like THAT.
a complete anomaly that made the sport his own.
this is the greatest at the most practiced sport ever...
I think you should try to find Barcelona - Arsenal 2010. In that game messi was literally unstoppable, and it was a champions league tho.
Messi is from Argentina but both parents have Italian heritage so essentially he is Italian.
Messi has been playing like that since he was 13 years old you should react to young messi
If u want full games watch Barcelona vs Manchester United 2011 UCL final, Barcelona vs Liverpool 2019 semi-final 1st leg, Barcelona vs Arsenal UCL quarter finals 2010 4-1. There are many many many more games but these are some of the top of my head that would be an interesting watch
Clip: Maradona vs Messi: Goal of the Century
Full Match: Barcelona 6-1 PSG March 8, 2017
International: Olmypic Gold Medal 2008, Copa America 2021, Finalissima 2022, World Cup 2022
And ANY videos on the MagicalMessi Channel on RUclips. Enjoy✌️
🐐👑❤️
The goat
For full match I am recommending Barcelona vs Madrid 5-0 to understand Messi beyond scoring.
The thing about Messi is that this video only shows the fraction of what he's capable of and what he did. He does stuff like this regularly. Going through 2 or 3 defenders isn't that big of a deal for him
Ronaldo is great but Messi is from another planet. No debate.
dude whenever he speaks, the audio goes mute? wtf?
lmao nvm, his voice was in the left earphone hahaha
Bro u were living under a rock! Messi is unmatch! That header in this highlight was against Cristiano Renaldo's manchester united. The only Uefa champions league final played by those two and obviously Barcelona's Messi crushed MU! Messi is from Argentina, the land of real football! Dont call it soccer bro, American football is new compared to real Football! Vamos Argentina campeones del mundo papa! 🇦🇷⭐️⭐️⭐️🇦🇷
Watch real madrid-barcelona 2-3 from 2017, most heated match in spain and probably Europe, full stadium, goals, clutch moments, goalkeeper saves, red cards, Messi vs Ronaldo, the ultimate gateway match for a non soccer fan
Listen man, you need to watch more than 10 plays...good lord
I have seen every game he has played for 20 years 2 or 3 times Seeing the highlights it's almost the same as the game full in match
Right! The highlights are nearly all Messi, as he does so many things that others can't.
Argentinean 🙏🙏🙏the 🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐 Messi,,I thank God I lived to see him play 🙏🙏🙏 Steph Curry too🙏🙏🙏
