thank you for this haha i was about to try to look it up Messi is GOAT, what a legend respect to pele and all the other OG's i never watched, but ive got Messi as #1
7:23 Argentina is historically between the top 5 best teams in the world. Sure, having Messi is a bonus, but Argentina reached 6 world cup finals and won 3 (keep in mind there were only 22 world cups and Argentina has been finalist in 6 of them) And it's one of the only 8 countries to ever win a world cup (Brazil 5, Italy 4, Germany 4, Argentina 3, Uruguay 2, France 2, Spain 1, England 1).

@@HeavenFaceyou are funny. I assume you forgot to read the part that I wrote “MY top 3 players”, not yours or anyone’s else, but MY top 3. And I choose them for personal reasons, stop being a negative person, but humble yourself😉
How does that look like 100,000 people there for the celebration. There were 4 million plus people there not 100K. The whole country came out bc this was their dream for Messi for the longest time. Final after Final - he has been losing so with this squad who said they will take a bullet for him - they had to make sure he gets this win in his final world cup. The whole world in every corner was up watching and rooting for him bc it was the greatest gift football will give him after all he's given football, fans etc. all over the world. Those watch party videos are all over the internet to see. It was beautiful to see.
11:20 Messi is a very introverted guy. He doesn't really get on his teammates like that. He's more of a lead by example type of person. It wasn't very effective though as Argentina lost three finals in different competitions back to back and Barcelona was always crumbling under pressure. He changed his approach to being more vocal at Argentina in about 2019 and it almost instantly paid off as he finally won them a trophy in 2021, then followed by the World Cup in 2022. He's still a calm guy, but as captain he's a more vocal leader. Just not on the vicious MJ type of thing, he's very encouraging to his teammates and they in turn fight for him.
I swear I cry every time I watch this video. There’s no way I don’t get emotional, for what it meant for him and for Argentina. After so many obstacles, he’s finally world champion ❤
David and Goliath is a perfect Messi-Ronaldo analogy. Ronaldo is quite literally a tall, muscular, intimidating figure... he's no slouch! And then little ol' Messi comes along, completely unassuming. But when it comes down to it, despite how strong Ronaldo really is, Messi has his number!
Argentina is one of the countries with most futbol history, and also the most passionate fans. The Messiah is the cherry on top for us. And yeah, he is a great team player. Excels individually and also in team plays. We say Lio is very selfless
@chaoticconfessions9009 what are you talking about... his air jordan shoes are global. The brand air jordan is global. Michael jordan name is global. Thats why hes worth 3 and 1/2 more than messi. Messi is big but jordan brand is massive brand making BILLIONS of dollars.. each year and going up...
@@Thanos-of8gcjordan brand made billions of dollars and each last 3 years keep going up.. overrated or not the brand jordan is iconic and global brand that is making billions of dollars $$$ ... money talks...
yes he is a playmaker and wants to give to his teammates, for example he has the most assists in football history, the most assists in a calendar year, he also was i think 2nd top assist this season, and won like the most playmaker awards, all this while having 800+ goals, 43 trophies, the most goals in a season, the most goals in a calendar year, for example one time in 2015 he was on a race with cristiano ronaldo for the golden boot (most goals in a season) and he was fouled and got a penalty (bascially 80% free goal), he had the opportunity to score and get infront of cristiano but instead he let neymar his teammate at the time take the penalty, and he has done this 10-20-30 times... the number of opportunities he got to score a hattrick (3 goals) with a free pen and instead gave it to his teammates, he said it clearly he doesnt care about being the best nor did he ever think of it,
Messi’s personality is pretty reserved and quiet, although he’s become more aggressive as a leader in recent years. Messi’s always been a leader by example.
Messi is a beautiful person. I knew him 4 years ago while I worked in a hotel were Argentina soccer team were staying. And he was always nice whit everybody all the time.
The clip played after Messi's first goal against Mexico where everyone's goin crazy is from Bangladesh, my country. We have a huge Argentina fan base that is bigger than Argentina's population itself.
Bangladesh es un país que históricamente celebra de Argentina , no es cierto que allí residan más Argentinos que locales los Argentinos no emigran a Asia emigran mayormente a Europa porque somos prácticamente todos hijos o nietos de Españoles e Italianos hay otras nacionalidades de Europa también Alemanes ,polacos , Rumanos, judíos, galeses , etc etc
The explanation at last you gave is what defines messi and the true winning mentality needed to become the greatest,thanks for reacting on my favourite player,obviously I suffered a lot in 2014 when he lost final to Germany and now everything is healed.

The tournament is build on group stages, so you can still get through as long as you win against the other teams in your group and/or have enough points (3 points for a win, 1 point for a draw). After getting through the group stage it's knockout games from then on
Messi is now in Inter Miami..Do you know that?..Tomorrow Inter Miami will face Philadelphia Union in semi final..Messi has led Inter Miami in just five times winning and scored 8 goals..
Argentina is a great team but they aren’t fav without him. They almost failed to qualify in 2018 until he came back and helped them. Messi has completed football and always gives up pens to his teammates so they can gain confidence. He’s humble and prefers seeing his teammates succeed.
Perdón Argentina siempre es candidata en los mundiales siempre manda a las copas mundiales jugadores de élite Argentina tiene 6 finales en la copa mundial 3 de ellas ganadas en los 78,86,22 , fue campeón mundial sub 20. 6 veces,además tiene medalla olímpica, confederación , Finalísima, copa América tiene 15 además también tiene campeones mundiales de clubes en total 6 de los grandes clubes son campeones mundiales y 2 de los 3 mejores jugadores de todos los tiempos son Argentinos Maradona, Messi ( además de ser un gran Exportador de jugadores que se distribuyen por el mundo)pero bueno Messi ganó está vez su gran ansiada copa mundial También rodeado de grandes jugadores !!! Saludos cordiales!!
Que argentina no es favorito?? Jajaja la cantidad de finales que tiene argentina jugadas y semis, siempre es un país favorito en fútbol igual que Brasil, nunca subestimen a Sudamérica... Así les fue a los que lo hicieron.
Messi didn’t need the World Cup to be the greatest. But we made that in our mind and made him suffer a lot. But eventually he got this. He didn’t need the World Cup. World Cup needed him to keep remaining important. ❤
Messi, Maradona or Pelé, any of those 3 can go first and it will never be an objective choice. The only three players who always gave the feeling that they could dodge the entire opposing team and score the goal, and sometimes they did.
top 3 messi, maradona and pele. for my there is no question about that and the preference is personal. like mine is messi is the one isaw the most live, i am argentinian and i feellike a wc champion because of him and i also resonate with him personal level as haging a rare dissaes and fighting for your dreams. and there is also a sayin mi granpa saw pele the king, my father maraona goad and i messi the messias (profet). these are the goats
I would like to tell you something, my friend, it is scary to see how in the US they are giving importance to soccer right now. Knowing how good athletes they are, I imagine that in the not too distant future they will be a soccer power. And definitely the USA will join in a big way the most important world sport by far: soccer.
The World Cup is special because it is a tournament that takes four years to arrange. Countries would call on their best players who play everywhere around the world in order to create a powerful team. Then each country would compete in their respective continents/regions in order to win 1 slot in the tournament. The best players of the world normally have 3-5 chances in their life to be part of the team and qualify. So winning the World Cup is a high honor for players who win. Pele of Brazil won 3 World Cups in his lifetime making people consider him to be the GOAT. Maradona of Argentina was Argentinas diamond player who single handedly won Argentina their second World Cup in 1986. He was everything people said and more. An amazing player to watch and viewed as a godly figure in Argentina. When Messi had begun his career, Ronaldihno, one of the best players at the time, already claimed that Messi was gonna be the greatest ever. Messi did it all and he was winning everything. The glory of Barcelona. However, he’d yet to prove to the Argentines that he was every bit as good of a player as Maradona. Argentina had gone many years without winning anything, especially in the Copa America, the competition of South American national teams. He’d been placed with the pressure of the number 10 shirt and was expected to do what Maradona had done in 86. He got close any times. He reached to Copa America finals but he lost both of them to Chile. He managed to reach the World Cup final in Brazil 2014, but fell short thanks to a late minute goal by Germany. The pressure was too much, even going as far as saying that he is done with the national team. Maradona would later pass away in 2021 due to a heart problem. A huge loss for Argentina. Maradona had coached Messi and lead the national team in 2010, were they fell in the quarter finals to Germany. Maradona was in the stands cheering them on in 2018, were they would be knocked out in the round of 16 to France and an 18 year old Mbappe, the winners of that years World Cup. Things were Grimm for Argentina but it was starting to turn around. For the first Ike in Messis career, he managed to win the Copa America in 2021, his first trophy with Argentina. They’d later play a game against Italy, winners of the European Cup, and win as well. In Qatar, Messi did it all, and he reached the final once again. France was the winner of the last World Cup and the ones that knocked them out of the tournament. Mbappe is the best up and coming talent France has produced, and quite possibly the best player of the new generation. Messi and him were teammates in PSG, yet that day they were rivals. While Messi managed to score 2 goals, Mbappe was the villain to all of Argentina, scoring 3 goals, keeping the game even and France in the match. Penalty kicks was were everything changed, and thus Messi was able to claim his greatest accolade. The people of Argentina celebrate and cheered in glory. Over 5 million people gathered in Buenos Aires alone to cheer and celebrate. Messi suffered many years and injustices but he achieved the total that many people believed he’d never do. The title of GOAT fits him well and he’ll sit on that throne for years to come.
Hey man. Yes messi is the best player of all time. But Argentina has always been a good team now we hace 3 world cups. Besides something that is really important to note is that messi has played other world cups and hasnt won before because football is a team sport. And this last team "La Scaloneta" is amazing. Each player did an outstanding job!
when u ask about if would qualify without messi, well thats a hard question, argentina always have top level players , so we can qualify qithout messi, meanwhile at same time , the group for qualify in south america is super difificult, we have brasil, uruguay, bolivia ( is a game that you play around 4000 feet above see level ) its not an easy group ... but of course messi help in that question. this wrorld cup was crazy , there so many little details u cant get with just the video... this was big, this was huge!
Messi is the Greatest!! Messi is the only one, who makes me happy since I was a kid !!!! Messi is number 1 number 2 number 3 number 4 ,5 , 6 ….. ❤ please to all Messi’s fans DON’T compare Messi to any player cuz in this way you guys disrespect Messi (( he is uncomfortable ))
The debate about whether he is the best or not is because he plays for FC Barcelona, and Real Madrid (rival team) has a monopoly on sports communication and with marketing he makes it appear that those who play for Madrid are better than anyone else. Barça player. But objectively Messi is the best in history.
"He doesn't look that old" well he's 36 so a few world cups is simply not an option. Now he's moved to America I very much doubt he'll play in the next one.
Talent and footballing ability wise Messi is at the top along with Maradona and Pele in my opinion. There are many more incredible footballing talents out there in the history but only a few sustained the test of time and had an incredible career. So career achievement and legacy wise Messi, Ronaldo, Pele is my top 3!
For the Argentina team, they wouldn’t have even made the 2018 World Cup without Messi, and to put into perspective, they wouldn’t have made it to the final of the 2014 World Cup without him. Most likely would’ve been knocked out before the round of 16 in 2014. Only for Messi to have dragged them to the final and have their striker (Higuain) to fumble 2 easy chances to finish and win the World Cup. The only time higuain was even remotely sort of useful in the team ever really
What state are you from in the US? right now Messi is playing in MLS which is in US and the team is called Inter Miami. You can watch him live, I already got my tickets, my first time ever, been a Messi fan since 2012.
I consider Maradona and Pele both to be the next in the conversation and after them has to be Ronaldo (the phenomeno, not Cristiano), Michel Platini and Johan Cruyff. Then I put Cristiano, Zidane, Di Stefano and Van Basten.
I don't think there is much debate anymore. The top 3 players of all time are 3-) Maradona 2-) Messi 1-) Pelé. Kylian Mbappé is still on pace to challenge Pelé for this title since he is still 25, has 1 World Cup and got to another finals so realistically he has 3 more tries to reach Pelé's 3 World Cups. That said, I don't think we will see another player like Pelé who could enforce peace and stop a war just because the people in the war wanted to watch him play.
Top 3 based on their whole career: 1. Messi 2. Pele 3. Cristiano Ronaldo Top 3 based on their Talent and their "peak": 1. Ronaldo (brazilian... Shame one has to add that meanwhile) 2. Messi 3. Ronaldinho
after messi and ronaldo, i think the debate will be about mbappé and haaland. they are both very young but really good. they are my top favorites for the ballon d'or in the near future. haaland´s only disadventage is that he plays for norway. they are far from being as good as france. zlatan ibrahimovic has the same problem with sweden. he hasn´t won anything with the national team, but he was also one of the greatest football players in history
16:24 Actually a total of 5 million people went to the streets of Buenos Aires to celebrate their first World Cup since 1986. It was unbelievable.
The fact that countries like Bangladesh made a rally for him is crazy too. Never knew Argentina got this much support. So overwhelming

this wrorld cup was crazy , there so many little details u cant get with just the video... this was big, this was huge!
My idol football king Lionel Messi 👑🐐⚽👑🇦🇷❤❤❤

You have to react to messi the goat movie plz man
You got it dude!
@@michaelwduffyshould do the Messi era it’s essentially an updated version
Messi❤
Messi is the Greatest!! Messi is the only one, who makes me happy since I was a kid !!!! Messi is number 1 number 2 number 3 number 4 ,5 , 6 ….. ❤ please to all Messi’s fans DON’T compare Messi to any player cuz in this way you guys disrespect Messi (( he is uncomfortable ))
I don’t see anyone ever talk about it, but I love that Leo went to celebrate with Emi Martínez (goalkeeper) after they won the penalties
Straight up noticed and felt some way about it live , first person I’ve seen comment about this 💯🔥
The big 3 the olympus gods
Pelé
Maradona
Messi
Messi ,Messi ,messi
The debate about whether he is the best or not is because he plays for FC Barcelona, and Real Madrid (rival team) has a monopoly on sports communication and with marketing he makes it appear that those who play for Madrid are better than anyone else. Barça player. But objectively Messi is the best in history.
"He doesn't look that old" well he's 36 so a few world cups is simply not an option. Now he's moved to America I very much doubt he'll play in the next one.
Top 3:
3. Maradona
2.Pelé
1.Lionel Andres Messi
Talent and footballing ability wise Messi is at the top along with Maradona and Pele in my opinion. There are many more incredible footballing talents out there in the history but only a few sustained the test of time and had an incredible career.
So career achievement and legacy wise Messi, Ronaldo, Pele is my top 3!
For the Argentina team, they wouldn’t have even made the 2018 World Cup without Messi, and to put into perspective, they wouldn’t have made it to the final of the 2014 World Cup without him. Most likely would’ve been knocked out before the round of 16 in 2014. Only for Messi to have dragged them to the final and have their striker (Higuain) to fumble 2 easy chances to finish and win the World Cup. The only time higuain was even remotely sort of useful in the team ever really
Idk if you’ve watched Messi The Goat movie but it’s basically a prequel to this
1) Messi
2) Maradona
3) C Ronaldo
Great
What state are you from in the US? right now Messi is playing in MLS which is in US and the team is called Inter Miami. You can watch him live, I already got my tickets, my first time ever, been a Messi fan since 2012.
I’m from New York! Oh I would love to see that!!
@@michaelwduffy He's playing against the New York Red Bulls this Saturday in the Leagues Cup final.
There was an estimated 4 million people that packed the streets surrounding the Obelisk in Argentina when they won.
Not your guess of 100,000.
Pele, Maradona y Messi
Pelé, Maradona and Messi. I still think Maradona, at his peak, was the best of the three.
7:36 Messi is a crucial pillar to Argentina as a team, however argentina could still be one of the best teams without him.
You should watch Lionel Messi- the goat. It’s a timeline Nd highlight reel of his career and amazing video by magicalmessi
100k? There were 5.5 million people cheering. Fucking insane.
1/ Messi
2/ Maradona
3/ Pele
4/ Ronaldo
Messi Maradona Pele top 3... top 5 should include Di Stefano also an argentinian, and the 5th is really tight between a lot of players
I consider Maradona and Pele both to be the next in the conversation and after them has to be Ronaldo (the phenomeno, not Cristiano), Michel Platini and Johan Cruyff. Then I put Cristiano, Zidane, Di Stefano and Van Basten.
Mantap
It’s gonna be sad day when Messi retire he is 36 I wish he was 26 again 😢, he has brought so much to the sport.
Not the greatest of our time, Greatest Of All Time ( the GOAT) Messi.
1- Messi
2- Maradona
3- Pelé
.
.
.
4- Cristiano Ronaldo
Top 3 greatest football/ soccer player of all time
1) Lionel Messi
2) Pele
3) Cristiano Ronaldo
Top 3 of all time are: 1. Messi 2. Pelé 3. Maradona. Those are the great 3, the goats of their generations. The rest, it's debatable.
I don't think there is much debate anymore. The top 3 players of all time are 3-) Maradona 2-) Messi 1-) Pelé.
Kylian Mbappé is still on pace to challenge Pelé for this title since he is still 25, has 1 World Cup and got to another finals so realistically he has 3 more tries to reach Pelé's 3 World Cups. That said, I don't think we will see another player like Pelé who could enforce peace and stop a war just because the people in the war wanted to watch him play.
🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷
The fact no house got robbed in Argentina during the world Cup final in 2022 is mental 😂😂
Top 3 based on their whole career:
1. Messi
2. Pele
3. Cristiano Ronaldo
Top 3 based on their Talent and their "peak":
1. Ronaldo (brazilian... Shame one has to add that meanwhile)
2. Messi
3. Ronaldinho
1) Messi
2) Maradona
3) Pele
4) Cristiano Ronaldo
5) Ronaldo
6) Zidane
7) Cruyff
8) Beckenbauer
9) Maldini
10) Buffon
after messi and ronaldo, i think the debate will be about mbappé and haaland. they are both very young but really good. they are my top favorites for the ballon d'or in the near future.
haaland´s only disadventage is that he plays for norway. they are far from being as good as france. zlatan ibrahimovic has the same problem with sweden. he hasn´t won anything with the national team, but he was also one of the greatest football players in history
Argentina besides Messi had a really good team.. but the goat is the goat...
