Best Player in the history: Messi
Second best Player : Messi in a bad day
Third best player : Messi injured
stop the "messi with one foot" disrespect
Fact
The Best .. Maradona
win a world cup and score the 2 best goals in football history that makes you a legend ..
'Win a WC', OK, but keeping in top form over the years adds professionalism to the whole thing, though.

Messi The Goat Official Movie is a great video, loved the reaction, he’s been playing since he was 17 and is currently 33 still playing
Its in the works! Keep an eye out and youll see it this week!
He's been playing since he was 5 years old, he just started playing in the primary Barcelona squad when he was 17*
Lmao still chokes in the biggest of games😂
@@guatkid30 and by chokes he means that he doesn't play at 120% of his capacity. Hater. Crawl out of obscurity before critizicing a man that shines at what he loves the most.
Leandro Menendez true bro at the end of the day hes there to entertain me 💪
To put Messi into perspective:
Theirry Henry's (arguably the best Premier League player ever) best season: 24 goals, 20 assists.
Messi this season: 25 goals 22 assists isnt even a top 5 season for Messi
actually its his worst season in past 12 years I think, its insane. What every player consider their best ssn ever, messi consider it as one of his worst seasons ever
Yeah, worst season. Just remember in 2012, scored 91 goals in 69 games 28 assists
afif Except that was in a calendar year. Messi’s best season is 73 goals and over 20 assists. That was in the 2011/2012 season.
Messi is arguably the greatest in history at every creative aspect of the game. He’s the greatest dribbler ever, the greatest creator ever, arguably the greatest finisher ever, arguably the greatest passer ever, arguably the greatest free kick taker ever, he has the greatest ball control ever, he has the greatest vision ever and all those are broad aspects of the game that’s not even getting into the specifics of each part of the game for example like he’s easily the greatest at playing through balls ever. I have watched Lebron in his prime, Tom Brady in his prime, Aaron Rodgers in his prime, tiger woods in his prime, roger federer in his prime and I genuinely feel insulted that anybody can say that they are greater at their sport than Messi is at his, even Micheal Jordan isn’t even in the same universe as Messi in terms of how good they are at the technicalities of their sport. Nobody has been better at anything than Messi is at Football.
Explained very good tho
If he's not the best ever at some of those things he's number 2 or 3. But overall, yes, he's number 1. Also it's arguable that he's in some way the best in any sport relative to the difference in ability between him and the best who have competed with or against him.
Not the greatest ball Controller..cuz above him There are two persons Maradona and Ronaldinho in ball control... Otherwise Messi is greatest in a all stuffs
Anish Anish wrong I know you most likely just watch the highlights but I’ve watched full games of Maradona on play backs and the amount of times he miss controls the ball is staggering compared to Messi and maybe that’s because of the pitch but that’s all we’ve got to go off as for Ronaldinho he very much was a player who was when he concentrated he could control anything but for the simple stuff he would lack concentration and have very poor touches at times.

He's clearly The Best and Everyone knows it too. Never seen anyone, except Messi, being surrounded by 3-4 players in every match for more than a decade.
I'm starting to agree... However I may have a new favorite player.... :D

@@haroldpatuasic3919 Ronaldo is my favorite player ever and I admit that Messi is the greatest football player of all time, no need to disrespect one to praise another
nice reaction, he is one of most payed athletes in the world, he is 33 years old and still playng and breaking records every week, he just reached last week his 700 career goal, plz react to lionel messi the goat by magicalmessi its 20 minutes but it shows his whole career until today :) subscribed
Thanks so much for the support! I'll do my best with some of these soccer videos. RUclips just came down on my soccer videos for copyright and blocked one of them.
Menke when you react to the goat, remember to read the text on the lower half and listen to the commentary :)
And last year Messi was the highest paid athlete and 4th highest earner in the entertainment business, just after Kylie Jenner, Taylor Swift and Kanye West. He earned around 125 million dollars
@@fatimaidris3233 that's exactly what I told him to do, we see a lot of reacters that Don't listen to the great Commentary or read the bottom text, great video the Goat video is just ahead of it's time.

Cr7 is 34..... nd is 2nd.
MESSI IS THE GOAT there is no one better than him ,He still plays and is 33 years old
Cr7 is 34
@@dragneeladhoo6023 What does CR7 have to do with a Messi video?
Dragneel Adhoo cr7 has 200 more games the only reason he has more pro goals and it’s by liken80-100 not that much if Messi got 200 more games I’m sure he will beat him
@@chivo749 Not even 80-100 he has like 30 goals more than Messi
Jonathan Ekales that’s still a lot of games 🤦🏿♂️
Hey man great reaction. I'm a lifelong dedicated football (soccer) player and fan so I can answer some questions for you. First off, yes he is still playing. He's 33 now but became pro at 17 which is why some clips are much older. That clip you mentioned looked old was in 2007 when he was 19 and he dribbled the entire team and scored lol. You should find videos of him as a teenager literally embarrassing grown men it's remarkable. Everybody knew from the time he was 15 that he had the potential to be the greatest of all time, and he exceeded expectations. And he makes more than 100 million per year making him one of the highest paid athletes in the world.
In terms of his gameplay, you were spot on with him being so complete. The crazy thing is this video doesn't come close to showing how complete he actually is. Messi is undeniably the greatest dribbler of all time. Even the biggest Messi hater would admit that. It's literally impossible to stop him 1v1 so coaches only option is to try to stop him with multiple defenders (still doesn't work). On top of that, he's the best scorer of all time as well. He holds the world record for most goals ever scored in a year with 91 goals in a calendar year lmao. To give some context, if a striker scores 30 goals in a season, he is world class and easily one of the best strikers in the world. Messi scored 73 goals in one season and has averaged 50 goals per season for the last 10 years straight.
What this video doesn't show at all, though, is that Messi is the best passer/playmaker in the world and quite possibly the best playmaker of all time. For the past 3 seasons, Messi has had the most goals out of any player in Europe while also simultaneously having the most assists out of any player in Europe and the most big chances created (a pass that creates an easy scoring opportunity but his teammate missed the shot). That is literally unheard of. As you mentioned in the video, players usually dominate in one category. You have all time great scorers like Ronaldo, you have all time great playmakers like Iniesta or Xavi, you have all time great dribblers like Neymar or Ronaldinho. Messi is literally the greatest of all time in every single one of those categories simultaneously.
On top of that, he has been easily the top player in the world for 13 or 14 years straight now and is still absolutely dominating at the age of 33. Through the decade of 2010-2019 Messi had the most goals, most assists, and the most completed dribbles out of any player in the world. Literally not one player led him in any of those categories. His production and consistency are seriously incomprehensible and will likely never be matched by any player in any sport. Also he's not flashy. You can find youtube videos of players like Neymar who do crazy flicks and flashy moves, and Messi does none of that. Because of that, someone who doesn't watch football or have a deep knowledge of the game would likely think a player like Neymar is more talented because of how skillful and flashy he is, but the truth is Messi just makes everything look soooo simple and easy to do when in reality literally nobody in history has been able to do a fraction of what he does. I thank god every single day that I have been privileged to watch Messi week in and week out for over 10 years now.
Sorry this comment was long af lol I'm just a huge Messi fan (obviously) and wanted to give you some context. I know my words don't come close to doing him justice. If you want to see more, I recommend watching videos focusing on his passing as well because it will blow your mind. Anyways, great fucking reaction man I always love seeing someone watch Messi for the first time. You could make 500 hours of highlights from him, so obviously just one video isn't enough if you really want to see what he's all about!
That goal you referenced from early 2000s at 11:40, was in 2007 and he scored that as a 19 year old. Absolutely insane for anyone to literally run through the entire team like that but for a teenager, it was a sign of how magical he'd become
Yea he's seriously amazing
For the Americans: It´s like he has Kyrie´s/A.I´s handles, Curry´s shooting, magic´s passing while being as lethal as MJ
*He ain't no MIchael Jordan*
*He is the M.e.s.s.i.a.h: Menke*
Haha football god?
@@MenkeYT Basically. He's really that good.
@@MenkeYT yeah absolutely true
@@MenkeYT not the metaphorical, god-like figure but god because he does what nobody can imagine. The Zlatan like figure is named god. Because he is 7ft tall.

2019 he was the third highest paid athlete in the world.
Club Team: Fc Barcelona
National Team: Argentina
He is highest payed athlete (last time i checked)
@Jordan Colon Actually not
The highest payed athlete right now is Roger Federer
@Jordan Colon Messi isn't a billionaire while Cristiano Ronaldo and Roger Federer are
@@juandagamboa06 Federer is not billionaire
Something to point out, he's not doing this against scrubs, those broken ankles belong to some of the greatest players in the world right in their primes.
He plays for fc barcelona in Spain 🇪🇸. He’s been playing profesionaly since the age of 17. He plays for national team of Argentina 🇦🇷. Right now he just turn 33 and still plays. And he is top of the world’s highest paid athletes.
Gets paid around 1.3m every 6 and half days, it's incredible.
Edwison Gogo for real I didn’t know that
@@Jerryorantex-zk6lj yeah Crazy.
I'm finding out more and more each day about how amazing Messi is!
@@MenkeYT yeah "some say we are not worthy to watch him", it's a privilege...an absolute privilege.
Basically messi was the highest paid athelete from any sport for the year 2019, and I think is around the 3rd highest this year behind ronaldo and Roger feder earning about 104million a year.
Messi is the greatest goal scorer of all time.
Messi is the greatest passer of all time.
Messi is the greatest dribbler of all time.
Its not an opinion, its a fact. His stats and figures back up everything.
most goals in a season ever.
Most goals in a calendar year.
Most assists in a season in la liga ever.
Most goals in la liga ever.
Most assist in la liga ever.
His worst seasons are better than almost everybody's best ever seasons, he is truly ridiculous at how great he is, before anyone starts about christano ronaldo, cr7 is amazing, truly gifted, one of the best players of all time but as someone else once said, cr7 is the best player on the planet, its just that messi isn't from this planet.
I agree with almost everything you've said, but to be honest in my opinion, I think that Ronaldinho - in his prime - was a better dribbler of the ball.
@@leighstevens8605 go and check the stats bro
Leigh Stevens messi has a bunch of goals though where he dribbles the ball through entire teams. Have seen both of them in their prime and in person. Messi is untouchable. IMO.
@@benlovetutu Wasn't talking about Ronaldinho being more prolific on the ball. Messi wins that hands down. It's just the moves that Ronaldinho did make whilst dribbling that makes me believe he was a better dribbler. He brought more tricks into his style. Hey man, at the end of the day they're both gods.
Currently messi is top earner at 150 mils. But i feel ronaldinho was more flashy with more complicated skills, messi duz is ez.
Messi is the mj of football.
He is the greatest player who ever lived and its not even clos
MJ played defense.
@almarcel7764 looks like u are a grandfather...
You didn't even see his passing in this video. He's got that in his arsenal as well😅
“Did he just take on the whole team” and “feels like everyone standing around like Messi’s got it” yeap pretty much what happens constantly
great reaction man!!!
He play at fc barcelona He from argentina
If you want to know his journey react to Lionel Messi - The GOAT - Official Movie
keep it up

@@saphired02 Barcelona and AC milan
@@MenkeYT yes my friend. Kobe is a fan and I think he wore that number while playing for USA (national team).
@@MenkeYT look it up
Messi was born gifted with his talent he is what you would call something rare a once in a generation while CR7 is a player that work hard to be one of the greatest so for me messi is a player you won't see again for years after hes gone and CR7 is a player that shows you anyone can become great once they work hard hope you understand what I am saying.
Great videos wish you all the best in growing your channel 👊💯👍
Both are the best in their own ways
Ronaldo's hard working, physical strength, strong desire to win and to be great, are rarely seen in football history. It's just that Ronaldo and Messi excel in different aspects. I like Messi much more though.
@@sounakchakraborty148 If messi left barcelona like cr7 left manu (when you can it coming that the team around you is getting worse) he would have won a lot more cl's but yh cr7 best striker ever i guess not best footballer
This is a completely untrue and convenient narrative designed to equate C Ronaldo with Messi (e.g. he's as hard-working as Messi is naturally talented). Both were always talented and both worked very hard to improve, it's just that Messi was always FAR more talented than C Ronaldo.
C Ronaldo is a petulant narcissist who dives, screams at the referee, cheats, gets pissy with his own teammates for scoring instead of giving him a tap-in, and people cover for that by saying 'it's only because he's such a hard-worker and so passionate!'. All top-players work extremely hard (even Ronaldinho did), it's just C Ronaldo can't shut up about himself.
Once C Ronaldo went to Real Madrid, he realised he couldn't play on the wing and keep up with Messi's numbers, so he became a goal-poacher. Meanwhile Messi stayed a playmaker and STILL had a better goal and assist rate. It's a cliche, but it sums up the situation well: C Ronaldo is always compared to Messi, Messi is always compared to Pele and Maradona. There's no comparison, and people who try to compare them always fall back on fallacious arguments because they never played the sport and have zero clue about how technically prodigious Messi is.
@@weefeatures iyuh that is the same thing I said just in a shorter texts and yes cr7 talented player but isn't he a player that work very hard. My point is messi was born gifted and cr7 was born talented but he also worked very hard as fa me messi name me one player that does everything in back to back games like messi name one
Lionel Messi. He is a player that is playing to this day still, he is one of the greatest driblers. He has been playing since he was 17 and today 33. He plays for FC BARCELONA. He won about 6 d'ors and players have been tackling him his whole life but they never stopped him. He had been subbed because of many injuries.. But He is unstopable... He is still playing even after the injuries... Lionel Messi... The Goat
He is still playing and still the best player in the world Messi King of soccer
Football pls
Football*
He was a prince then, now The Emperor.
man i cry when i see this...
remembering this unstoppable barcelona with messi as the heart of it! and now barcelona is a shadow of their former self and messi is 33 with his career ending soon...
its just sad
it's what half a decade of absolute incompetence at the managerial level does to a team that should've dominated europe. But there's still hope: Messi's 33 years old and still has a good 3-4 years at the top level (judging by his level this season). If there's a drastic change in the way the club is managed, there are enough pieces to return to a proper level of competitivity right away. Certainly their dominance is gone but with the proper moves and the right coach (not sure Koeman is that coach though), there's a good chance to be top competitive next season.
there better is, because if Barcelona is not competitive right away Messi will leave next year for sure. It's a miracle (and a testament to his love for the club) that he hasn't forced things to leave right now when he perfectly could have. So there's still hope.
Messi gets paid hella lot. Around 1 million a week without brand deals and sponsorships. In a year including his sponsors usually 80 to 120 or 130 million a year. So a lot!
You mentioned coaches and players going 'Messi Messi' in the beginning. Most of them are some of the best players and coaches in the world, retired and currently playing included.
Yeah his game awareness and playmaking skills are fascinating. He plays for a team which historically bases its game on possession, short quick passes and planned attacks. And he's the center of their game. As many goals he scores and defenses he breaks down, his ability to create chances and pass the ball around is genius.
4:10 He plays for Barcelona at the moment, although I’m not sure for how much longer, and yes, at 33 years old where most players start slowing down, he’s still amazing. Just became the first player in the history of La Liga (Spain’s top football league) to score 20 goals and 20 assists in the same season
25 goals and 23 assists
Jevaughn Bourne That is absolutely insane, especially at the age where most players slow down considerably, but Messi isn’t most players either. I’m an Arsenal fan, and if the rumors are true, and Aubameyang ends up leaving for Barcelona, I’d love to do a swap and bring in Messi, even if it’s just for a year or two. I’ve heard Messi currently isn’t happy at the situation with Barca, so that gives me hope
zwag gamon 😂😂 umm I’m a Barcelona fan and that ain’t gon happen sir 😂😂 plus we don’t want y’all Pierre because he’s garbage and Messi ain’t leaving especially for arsenal soo sorry to burst your bubble
Jevaughn Bourne Well Aubameyang isn’t exactly garbage, he’s not the same player he was at Dortmund but he’s still serviceable. And idk dude, Messi isn’t happy with Barcelona and looks to be leaving, if not this year then next year when his contract runs out. And it’s wishful thinking on my part wanting him to come to Arsenal, but just let me dream!! 😡 In all likelihood though, he’ll either go back home to Argentina or Inter Milan
zwag gamon 😂😂😂😂😂 you said inter Milan 😂😂😂😂😂 bro if u think at some point in a player’s career that he’s gonna be always happy your delusional for example look at when Neymar was at Barca, everybody thought he was happy and then he wanted to leave the club didn’t sell him. HE WANTED TO LEAVE AND FOR U LOOK AT ME AND TELL ME MESSI IS ANGRY AND HE’s gonna leave is fucking stupid, no player is always happy and this sport has passion and everyfucking team goes through everything barca is going through rn as a whole and you better believe it because this is happing for a reason and the reason is that there is a need for change, rick Ross said once “IM HAPPY DONALD TRUMP BECAME THE PRESIDENT BECAUSE WE GOTTA DESTROY BEFORE WE ELEVATE” and you think about that shit and think bout barca, think bout Real Madrid last year how everyone was destroying them with for example Atlético beating them 7-3 and down to Leganés and Espanyol beating them and now look at them now they won the la Liga, so when you see these things happening to a club and a player it’s for the good and Messi will never go to Arsenal because arsenal is terrible no offense just look at stats. I would rather Messi go back home and play than England
they are all LEGENDS commentating
By far the best ever. A couple of years back he scored 25 hatricks in one season. Some strikers go a whole career without scoring one hatrick (3 goals in one game). When I was betting on Barcelona games. His odds for hatricks were lower than other players scoring at all lol. There are currently talks to get Messi to another team but his transfer few is gonna be around ....$1B and yeah the B is correct lol so likely he will be at Barcelona until he retires 👍
I believe am not the only one who just tear up with goosebumps ..
Goddddddd , every time i watch Messi , just fabulous ! He is the GOD of football mannn !
I just like to watch him daily dancing with the ball in the Camp nou
It's just so so so heart breaking to know that there is just few years left to watch him 😢
Cannot even imagine him retiring ..
#NoOnewilleverbornthesame
#LionelMessiThings
#GOD
#Respect 🙏🙏
You couldn't have said it better, he is the best because he masters all the elements of football: dribbling, passing, shooting, free kicks, etc. Also, he has been the best for 13 years, so the constancy he shows is truly amazing.
Messi's base salary is 646k dollars a week earning him around 32 million a year, that's not including his lifetime sponsorship deals, annually he brings in just under 80 million dollars
i remember once Messi was injured or returning from injury but he came on as a sub against sevilla, they told him dont change pace too fast or youll make it worse, Barcelona scored 2 goals within 60 seconds and he didn't run once, this man could play any position and id bet he would still be a joy to watch.
For an average american you seem to know the sport pretty well. Props to you lad
there are soccer players and then there is MESSI
Found your reactions videos today...much love from Eastern Africa(Kenya)....
Messi is in FC Barcelona, still playing at 33 years old, and his salary is $34M. Cristiano in the other hand is $40M, he is another great players which always to these days compared to messi, and his age is 35. In a short period of time, those two legends, those two record breakers, those two rivalries are going to retire soon. Who's better? Stats and people's opinions speaks for itself(not mentioning fan of each player), It's messi, better overall player.
His salary is actually $58
I'm gonna put it simple, he has the acceleration and speed of an NFL fast player while he has a ball on his feet. So yeah, he's in the superhuman category like Michael Jordan
He is the cheat code of Football.. ❤
The great who come only after 1000 years.
Of course he is still playing and still being at the top of his game at 33. He just topped both scoring and assisting charts in the Spanish League this season for the third consecutive season.
Messi's Annual Earnings:-
71 million USD (BASIC SALARY)
+
12 million USD (Image Rights), can go as high as 17 million USD
+
millions from Sponsorship and Endorsement (companies like ADIDAS, PEPSI, KONAMI, TATA Motors, MASTERCARD, GILLETE etc)
Overall he earns around 105 million USD per year.
Bro, if you like football just watch him play.
He's probably the best precise package of a footballer except few exceptions like (he isn't the top header in the world).
Pls react to 'Messi vs physics' this is good one too.
I'll definitely look into that one. This video amazed me
He has the most accurate left foot in history. And is the most effective dribbler of the last 15 years. One of the most effective dibblers ever.
Guys, remember that he started playing when he was 5 yrs old in tne mini league in Argentina, he went to Barcelona at the age 11 yrs old to do some trials and he stayed there, he has been professional since he turned 17 yrs, he has more than 700 goals in his carrier.,he's the score leader historically for Argentina and Barcelona
Excellent review, I seen him play his whole career and got to see him play in person one time .... only way to describe him is what you said: “he makes everybody else look as if they play in a lower division”
He is all rounder , he do everything apart from keeping , the man who can do what other 10 players suppose to do
s05.s3c.es/imag/_v2/ecodiario/deportes/580x300/messi-portero.jpg you said?
@@montxogandia I was hesitant to click on that but glad I did
Montxo Gandia I mean in real official match bro
You have to hear messi story very motivating he is come from a poor family, he has a disease in his 13 yr then his hard work help him to become the best player on the planet
You sir got a new sub. I love how you are seriously interested into other sports like football/soccer unlike other reaction channels. What amazes me is that you have a great vision and knowledge of football already. You immedeatly noticed that Messi has great vision, passing and shooting skills as well as dribbling. You notice the smaller things, things even football fans sometimes dont notice. I love it, keep up the good work!
Me, an average Argentinian:
Uhmmm someone reacting to something Argentinian, let's leave a like on this nice video.
11:19 this was his first goal with the Futbol Club Barcelona "Barça" at the age of 19 years 1st of May of 2005 (at the age of 17). Now he is 32
I was amazed when you asked is he still playing and which club.........dont take it personal.i was amazed that there still people who dont know about messi and ronaldo....AND I LOVED YOUR REACTION.KEEP GOING
this is really great to watch. ive been growing up watching Messi and was curious how itd feel to not know him. 👏👏👏💯💯 love the video
he´s dedicated his countless goals to his beloved grandma in heavens, by always pointing to the skies with the fingers after scoring...
messi shots are known as scapel sniper guns
Pew Pew!
The Greatest. these highlight reels can never do Messi justice.
Watch 3 or 4 Barcelona games and you'll see that his contribution to the overall game is much bigger than flashy dribbles. His awareness and vision allow him to dictate play as much when he does not have the ball as when he does. his passes to team mates are beautiful and his drawing of players out of position, allow team mates space and time they might not otherwise have.
You're right, he makes them look like highschoolers, thing is, these highschoolers are some of the best players ever in their prime, and he makes them look like training cones.
HE IS STILL PLAYING AND GOT GREATEST PLAYER OF ALL TIME THIS LAST YEAR AGAIN!!!!!!!💕💕💕💕
Him: soccer
Me: *my man this ain't acceptable*
He makes about $700000 a week as salary from the team.And makes more from endorsements. He maid 127mil last year
as a football fan its so funny seeing people asking "are those like other players and coaches" when legends like Maldini are talking :D (but obvioulsy it would be the same for me with almost every other sport)
You just discoverd the best athlete to ever exist , enjoy next time you watch him , you'll start to understand why we are worthy to watch this guy
He hasn’t had a bad season since he was 20 and he is 33 been a top class player for every single year he has been playing breaks new records every season
Thank you very much for this very good and clean reaction !!! I hope you enjoyed the video. I didn't like a lot soccer before but this guy is like matrix every weekends. He does some things like 1 chance on 1000 and he made this everytime. He has three children with his wife who know him since he was 13years old. And he had long hair long time at the beginning of his career. He never dive, he is a very good example for football and sport in general.
Like others coments, the GOAT is long but a very good video to understand the phenomen. Just this season he is the best goalscorer of the championship and the best passer too (normally you can not to be a top scorer and a top passer but in the same, Not for Messi and maybe the best dribbler too...). And I precise he was injured at the beginning of the season (He lost more than 1 month). Have a good continuation, this is really a new work!
I really enjoyed the video! Thanks so much for being here and the support!
Great reaction. If a team wanted to sign Messi, the starting point would be about 250 million Euro. That is just to buy his rights ( a pass is what it’s called in Football) then you have to negotiate his weekly salary.
He’s the world best player, he won the ballon d’or ( world best footballer individual award) 6 times, currently playing for Barcelona #10 and he’s the captain
Messi made $84 million in salary and winnings in 2019 plus another $27 million in endorsements ($111 million total), but the crazy thing is that he could make even more if he wanted. He's been at the same club, FC Barcelona, since he was age 13 (now 33) and said he wants to retire there. He's never opted to leave for another club and there are definitely a few clubs with very deep pockets that would have paid him more.
Did he just say he doesn't know whether he is still playing or where he plays ? wow!!!
.....Well better late than never
welcome to the world of soccer
You are about to witness the most beautiful sport on the planet
Messi is, without a doubt, one of the greatest footballers to have ever graced the football pitch. He used to play for F.C. Barcelona but iis currently playing for Paris. He started his professional career with
Barcelona after he came from Argentina as a youngster to Barcelona where he was encorperated into the Barcelona training program. With age he has lost some of his brilliance. Nevertheless, he continues to be a threat to the defenders he confronts.
By the way, I couldn't help noticing your MN Twins cap. I grew up in Minnesota but I've been living in France for nearly 50 YEARS now. I used to be able to get baseball on the TV but it no longer available. I remain a lifelong supporter of the '"Twinkies" and the Vikings.
Yeah that old video is from 2007. And he scored that goal when he was just 19 years old.
Now he's 33 and he still playing for Barcelona
And he's earning 50m+/year.
he is still playing , he is still on the peak
If you want to know more stuff about messi since he started til this moment you should react to lionel messi the goat movie, just focus a bit on the commentary and the info written throughout the vid (subscribed:)
Thanks so much for the feedback and support! I'll be looking into that video!
Yeah it is pretty universally agreed that he is THE Greatest .. and he is still playing. He is a phenom. Oh and the first player to comment in the video is Zlatan .. and he is a Lion and he says Lionel Messi is the best. Make of it what you will.

Lionel Messi is the greatest player in the word. The holds most of the records in the word of Football.
Only last Year:
- Sixth Trophy - Ballon d'Or (never hapend before)
- Sixth Trophy - Gold Boots (never hapend before)
- The Best de la FIFA
- Is the only player from group sports to be granted the Laureus World Sports Award
Just the other day he became the only player in the history of the Spanish Football League to be granted his Seventh Pichichi Awards (
top scorer in the league) with only 25 goles (first time in his career that it's so low)
He plays for FC Barcelona since he was 13 years old
and he plays for the first division of Barca since he was 17 years old.
His net worth is £309M
ie...400million USD
He is the third richest sportsman in the world
Just imagine being the greatest in biggest sport
He is still playing and is at the age of 33.
He is still playing he plays since he was 17 in Barcelona Spain 🇪🇸 one of the best club in the past 20 years... he has scored 91 goals in one year (club and Argentina the country he was born🇦🇷 )... the closest was Ronaldo and he scored 60 goals lol
His debut was in 2003 and that early 2000 video was from 2006 when he was 19.
He plays for FC Barcelona and yes he is still playing! Just won his 6th ballon dor and Golden shoe last year.
He plays for Fc Barcelona, when u see the number 19 on his back, it was actually the number that he wore when he was 19 years old, currently messi is 33 years old
He's the current ballon d'or, it means that he's still playing and being the best...now and ever...
You don't really get to appreciate the beauty of what messi does, cuz you've never played soccer, the ability recuaried to pass several players like he does
Messi is arguably one of the greatest dribblers of the ball ever, he is breaking records almost every week, like the other week he hit 700 goals in his career
As a football player, you're lucky enough to be great in one skill of the game; you're unique if you're the best at that particular skill of the game; but you are Messi if you're the very best in every aspect of the game.
I have seen this man play since 2005, day in and day out. He is better than the best players put together and multiplied by the nth degree since he only takes one slot from the team's lineup while still doing it all. He recently became 33 and is still the best by a large margin.
Ps. Lionel (lee-o-nel)
Cheers

Great reaction! I recommend you react to “Understanding European Soccer in Four Simple Steps: A Guide for Americans” by Pen and Paper. It will be much easier for you to understand how the leagues and cups work. The channel has a few other very informative videos about soccer (national teams, transfers etc.) they are quite short, so you could maybe react to a few in the same video - keep up the good work!
Added! Thanks for watching.
The people in the beginning of the video were other professional footballers and coaches. He is the greatest ever footballer. 2 of his teammates shared a carbon copy story of messi in different interviews. They said when messi would be angry he would demand the ball from the goalkeeper and literally take on the entire opposite team by himself and score a goal. His teammate quoted that "he could do anything he wanted with the ball".
he plays for Barcelona, and hes from Argentina, however he announced he will not play for the Argentina national team anymore due to age......that was before dunno about now...and yes he still plays
Famous wrestler Brett Hart said about himself he was "the best there is, the best there was and the best there ever will be". I think that applies perfectly to Messi. There have been maybe a little better shooters (like from an A+ to an A++) or guys with slightly better footwork or who were able to do almost unimaginable things with a football, but Messi is the total package, nobody is as good at so many things. His ball control, his awareness, his game vision, his dribbling, his shooting accuracy and power, his passes...everything has been absolutely spot on for the past 15 years since he made his debut.
He is playing for FC Barcelona in Spain and yeah he’s still playing and he’s played in the first team for like 15 years in Barca
At the beginning most of those people saying Messi are soccer legends
He still playing a doing more goals, currently he's 33 yrs old but still at top of his skills and indeed he's consider at one of the best players in soccer ⚽
After Floyd messi is the highest paid athlete in the world

He plays for Barcelona he is 33 years old now he has 6 golden balls (world record) and he is From Argentina
