There's no debate
Messi greatest most complete player of all time rest all some media propaganda
i am happy that this is already a top comment because i was gonna write the exact same thing ... and it could not be more true honestly
"If statistic are there , Why debate" ? Because he is not the most flashy player.
No special tricks , no fancy moves , but everything he does seems so easy for him. He's super efficient. He broke the game. 😁It's like playstation said Zlatan.
If you're not a Football/soccer fan , I suggest to watch other player who loves tricks and spectcular moves.
You'll have a lot of fun discovering them and study why these move are so hard to reproduce with your feet and your body.
Have a nice day.
Oh also , very important. Watch Maradona. I still think he is the greates. But drugs , mafia problems , women ...
Just imagine if he had the same simple life as Messi. 😕 And at that time , defenders could broke your legs. (and they did ) not like today.
Maradona touch with the ball is still unmatched. With an orange with a tennis ball or even a golf ball. It's unreal.
So please pay hommage to this Argentinian who had inspred us all.
@@michaelromeo9567longevity also matters bro
@@user-no4tw6ee8sMessi's Longevity is amazing sure. And Messi and Ronaldo are unmatched. That was not the point, I was talking about a pure playmaker old fashion number 10
He points to the sky because he dedicates it to his grandmother who was the one who started him in soccer.
Is that really true?
Of course it's true...even when he won the WC last year he said"It can be today grandma" looking towards the sky@@CDmusic10
No he actually confirmed in an interview that he didn't said that to his grandma he states that what he said was "it could be today God" u can see that interview but anyways yeah that's his point @@rahulpatel1201
@@rahulpatel1201it’s true that his celebration is dedicated to his grandmother but the World Cup final he confirmed in an interview that he did not said that. He said he could not remember exactly what he said but it was more in the sense of saying to Montiel to score and end it there.
yes it is, you can also see he talks to his grandmother and look at the sky, last penalty in WC against France saying "today is the day granny" something like that@@CDmusic10
The reason why a debate existed between messi and ronaldo:
• they played for the biggest rival clubs in football history at the same time and scored unbelievable number of goals
• ronaldo has won back to back champions leauge trophies while messi was losing back to back international finals.
This provided ronaldo admirers with arguments to stretch the debate for years. But now at the end of their career messi came back for all the trophies he could possibly win and denied all naysayers. There was never a debate on individual level, messi was always better
So true!
0 ball knowledge
is there any way i could contact with you bro? you seem like you understand football
@@vaalk6972ironic… calling out people’s ball knowledge when you can’t look at stats or even watch Messi play and say Ronaldo is better 💀💀
ronaldo team is corrupt tbh makes sense why so many penalty goals and so much fake hype and marketing. Messi is not human is beyond everyone else
As an American myself, I didn't grow up appreciating the game of soccer, either. But I happened to be in Germany in 2006, during the World Cup, and Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo were the talk of the cosmopolitan town. I got hooked on the sport and started paying attention when I got back Stateside and.... Lemme tell you: I don't think there's ever been an athlete in my lifetime, in ANY sport, who captured my imagination like that little dude. When he finally won the World Cup a couple of years ago, at the age of 35, I wept like a widow. The man is literally divine. All of his fellow professional peers will tell you the same. Having said that... If you're a soccer/futbol novice... Well, you need to check out Zlatan Ibrahimovic. Zlatan was not as good as Messi or Ronaldo or Pele or yada yada whoever, but... Zlatan's highlight reel is unmatched.
I agree with you. You have some brains and discernment. Nobody has captured my imagination and penetrated my heart like this guy. I find I need Messi like I need air and water. I've never been a fan of any sportsman before. It was always musicians, writers, artists. Messi is a supreme artist.
I've been saying this for years. If I ever become religious, it's because of this man. Makes one teary eyed at times.
The funny thing is as a German had the Argentine coach in 2006 not snubbed Messi by bringing him and not playing him they arguably would've beaten us and maybe even reached the final against France, not to mention scaloni that Argentina coach for the 2022 world cup played for Argentina in the 2006 world cup and was really pissed that they didn't play Messi in 2006

I think of all his atributes, the best is that he's the best playmaker. Never mind his ridiculous amount of goals, his exceptional passing, his unparalleled dribbling, his vision... ignore the fact that he's won every trophy that exists, that he has maintained a level of perfection for more than a decade... he creates opportunities where there were none. He's flawless because he makes the impossible look easy. I think you anyone can tell just by looking at him.
Perfectly put.
I won't say he's the best playmaker, because he is not a real 10 like Zidane . He' more of a striker a 9 and a Half.
He make the difference alone. When Zidane Mordic make your team play better.
There are not enganches anymore, but Messi IS a playmaker. Especially in the last few years.@@michaelromeo9567
@@michaelromeo9567he is better play maker than zidane no one can came close to messi passing
@@liibanboojo1673 Put Zidane in a crappy team , the team became godlike. Put Messi in a good team with Mbappé and Neymar.. The team was crap.
An addition of individualities🤷♀
That's not what I call the best playmaker ever
Messi's genius is mostly in his ability to make the difference by himself.
Of course he is a great passer .
But being THE BEST playmaker is not all about passes .
Classic playmaker real Number 10 doesn't exist anymore.
Playmaker era is over.
I love Messi
But Stop being a fanboy , words are important.
You are probably the wisest I’ve seen react to football. As you said in the beginning, all highlights of other players are goals, but Messi is so much more than just goals, and you understood that. He dominates the whole field when in possession of the ball. Either he creates the opportunities himself, or he combines with his teammates and create the most mesmerizing team plays. We will not see anything like him ever again
football is different for everyone for some people footballl is its elegancy for some people football is the brute phyicallity for some people football is about goal scoring when u dont understand that u dont understand what football is
3:53 what makes this clip so iconic is that this is against Jerome Boateng and Manuel Neuer, who were according to many the best defender and goalkeeper respectively in the world at this point in time.
Ronaldo is a goalscoring machine and that stops there..the only reason the debate exists is because it's marketable .

Facts
There are a lot you don’t know about him yet … I m been following him about 16 years now and he is just magic. his IQ football is beyond excellent
goat debate was a PR campaign to boost both players and Messi is a team player that's why he is the best he can play from anywhere on the field
Messi points to the sky, yes because he might be thanking god. But he points to the sky mainly, to dedicate his goals to his grandmother, who got him into football first.
It’s about his Grandmother.
If you know football deeply you probably know Messi is a genious beyond every football player in the past, present
The debate was fabricated by the press. Cristiano would have been the best player of his generation by far if Messi wasn't there. Messi and Cristiano play at archrival clubs, and Cristiano has incredible statistics. So the press from Real Madrid created and held the debate, but it isn't real. Messi plays at a different plane than anyone else.
BTW, yes, he used to dribble 5 guys every game. He wasn't only incredible, he was constantly incredible. He did every game the kind of play a great player does once per season.
He is currently 36 and plays for Inter Miami, together with his old teammates Suarez, Alba and Busquets. He has coverted a lot of Americans to soccer and has turned Miami upside down. even if he is no longer at his peak, he still is a genius.
Messi is like 3 players in one, he is the best scorer, best passing assist, and the most important for a team the best playmaker.
And you forgot best dribbler and one of the best at free kicks, it’s just ridiculous
@@cov99 you´re totally right.
You need to watch around 200more hours of Messi(youtube) videos. And you will still be amazed.. the greatest player ever💜💜💜
Messi in a Interview:
"'I was small, we would all go to the neighbourhood club where the whole family always went; my brother and cousins would all play, each in their respective category as we were all of the different ages.
'I was one of the youngest ones and therefore there were no categories for me yet. The ‘86 team, a year older than me, was playing and they needed a player - so my grandmother told the coach 'put Leo in the team'.
'No, how am I going to put him in the team, look how small he is, you’re crazy, he’s going to get hurt,' the coach said. But she kept saying 'put him, put him'.
'Apparently, when I went, I did some things and from then, my grandmother came back and told him: ‘Buy him football shoes and next week I will bring him here for training’ - and that’s when I started. It was an amazing time.”
'I scored two goals although truthfully, I do not remember much as I was quite young, but that is the story as my grandmother used to tell it.'"
Leo's grandma died in 1998 when Messi was 11. Every time he scores a goal he points to the heavens to pay tribute to her.
The reason he always points to the sky is to show appreciation for his late Grandmother who never got to see him go pro but always believed he'd be the best, in fact it was because of her he even became a footballer
Dude, this guy is the GOAT. Ronaldo - fantastic. Pele - brilliant. Maradona - even better. But Messi: nah, he's so far ahead of the rest it shouldn't even be a discussion. It's NOT CLOSE!
There's literally no one else, he is the 🐐
I just realise now how i be lucky to see messi play in my childhood😭😭😭
He is the goat
He is the Goat and who says he is not he does not know football.
2012 was his best year and that player was the best that the game has ever seen… but he’s been the best for the last 15 years or so
Yes Statistically 2012 was Messi’s best year but I acc prefer the 2010/11 version of Messi he could do it all. Had the greatest ucl campaign against Man u with a 10/10 rating and in terms of the vision, passing, performances, goals was something else. Like his solo goal against madrid in the semi final 2011.
From feb 2012-2013 he scored over 100 goals aswell 😮
In the pantheon of greats
Art in motion
Fortunately, his career has been archived for future generations
Thank God! Are these videos going to remain in good condition? I hope they don't go all fuzzy.
@@elizabethcsicsery-ronay1633 One day very soon, the kids will say they look like potato cam :)
He's pointing to the sky when celebrating a goal. He's thanking his deceased grandmother who believed in him when he was a child.
Since you are not a soccer connoisseur, I am going to tell you what is well known in the soccer world, unlike what the reel era distinguishes in all sports and news. In the world of football there is only some debate about the GOAT between Messi, Maradona and Pelé, all of them from different eras and characteristics. You will only see a debate including Ronaldo if his fans or Real Madrid fans do it. It is even debated whether Ronaldo is in the top 10 in history. Ronaldo is an incredible striker, and added to that, he is so good-looking that he conveyed his talent to others through his image. But there is no real football debate between Messi and Ronaldo for many reasons that I could mention if you are interested
Bro you are average messi fan who hates ronaldo i can see that
@@lijolitty9243 nooo mate...he is stating the truth and as they say....the truth hurts
@@lijolitty9243The truth isn't hate.
@@lijolitty9243 Brother, I love football. I love Ronaldo just as I love all the great players who have made me enjoy the sport I love. It is difficult to compare Cristiano and Messi because when you talk about how great Messi is, those who love Ronaldo interpret that you are saying that Cr7 is not fantastic. Of course it is great, it would be very foolish to deny it. I didn't say anything that isn't true. Every time Messi is discussed, he is compared to Maradona or Pele, but when Cristiano is discussed, he is compared to Messi, and that is the big difference. There are hundreds of reasons why Messi, Pelé, Maradona, Cruyff, Zidane, Nazario, Distefano, Zico, and others are above Cristiano in almost all fields of the game and we can talk about each one of them if you are really interested in the truth outside of fanaticism. But I repeat what I said, that does not mean that Cr7 is not one of the greats
As a Messi and Barca fan, Ronaldo is 1000% in the top 10 in history without a debate
Messi es el mejor de la historia simplemente. Solo tienes que mirar para saberlo. Talento, disciplina y una persona que culda de tener buenos valores.
Messi celebration pointing in the sky is for his grandma. She died when he was yung. She was the reason Messi get professional footballer
so glad you’re doing more reactions to the goat Messi 🐐. Magicalmessi makes amazing vids on youtube
Messi with small hair is the genius and with long hair was the monster ❤
These videos always leave out his passing... best goal scorer ever, best dribbler ever, but his passing is the most beautiful aspect of his game in my opinion.
It's actually a massive insult to Messi that there's still a debate in my opinion. The gap between him and whoever's second is enormous.
He is 36now, the carier is slowly stoping. But he is still the top3 player. For me number 1. Last year he was the best still✌️
His career isn't stopping.It's just slowing some. Puskás was still playing at age 40, so was Zlatan. Stanley Mathews played up to age 50. O ye of little faith.
@@elizabethcsicsery-ronay1633 for me 5years is nothing... So yeah it's stoping... But those who now football still knows Messi is the best, even now

What makes special about Messi is he love to play football, he is not playing for fame or the money and Messi is a very intelligent player
@@heshanlahiru2120NO MONEY LOL . BARCA PQYED MESSI SO MUCH THEY GOT BANKRUPT MESSUS SALARY WAS HIDDEN FROM PUBLIC . IT WAS LEAKED IN 2017 OR 18 .

@@heshanlahiru2120chill out there atheist. If you watch videos of him playing as a youngster in Argentina, he was so far ahead of other kids his age.. that is born with this talent. That’s what he means lol.
Tbh I don't get why there's a debate between Messi and Ronaldo either when it's clear Messi is the better complete player, although Ronaldo is a phenomenal goal scorer.
Umm, Messi weakness- supposedly his right foot, headers and body strength but tbh I don't see much evidence of those because he's scored about 26 headers (including in a Champions League final), tons of goals with his right foot and his body strength seems outrageous at times.
At 36 I can't say he's at his peak any longer but he's still stupidity good 🐐
There is a great video out by a channel called the retro route titled when was Lionel Messi at his peak? You should check it out 😊
You can’t just say Ronaldo is just a goal scorer. Yes this is thing where he is the best (he can score head,right left foot, penalty and freekick, or even a long shot ) but when you look when he was at is peak he was so fast and skillful with the ball and can do everything with it . I think you just have the vision of the Ronaldo of Juventus or when he was back at utd for saying there is at every season it was a competition between this two since 2008 when cr7 won is first ballon d’or and was also the most dominant player of the World in front of Messi (2013-2018) so there is a debate because at their peak We can’t say someone is way better.
Ps: the world cup is a little argument We used to say both are the goat before the world cup and sorry for my english
@@abd0930you’re right Cristiano is complete in his goal scoring that’s my fav thing about him. Personally I only think it’s close in numbers the whole package shouldn’t even be a debate. When it comes to eye test, stats, trophies, individual honours they all point towards Messi. That’s not even the best part about him he does stuff that stats won’t even highlight. It’s funny that ex players, pundits, managers and commentators know Messi is the best yet I have CR7 fans saying otherwise. When you make world class defenders look clueless whilst scoring 800 plus goals and 300 plus assists winning every major trophy consistently Messi is easily the goat. He didn’t need the word cup but that was the icing on the cake to shut down all arguments.
@@abd0930Sorry, Messi is way better. He's a playmaker as well as great goal scorer. Ronaldo is mainly a goal scorer.
When he was younger (the long hair days) you can see he avoids using his right leg and it doesn't work very well when he does, but later on he uses both and does a good job with the right one too. The kid was the best in the world and still improved over time.
@abd0930 never been a debate. People like yourself fall for marketing ploys instead of watching the games.
When Messi started to play for Barcelona, it was a magical combination of Messi Eto'o and Ronaldinho, but after the latter two fell out of favor, they contracted Neymar jr and Luiz Suarez and that became the greatest trio in Barcelona's history. They were called the "MSN".
Most complete player I ever seen and I remember all the way back to Maradona and Pele. By the way you mentioned about why he points up to the sky? that's because he does that to his dead grandma; she's the reason why he started playing at a very young age when no one wanted to give him a chance and she would take him to every game. I swear his life could be a movie of its own.
There's a debate because Messi destroyed his rivals and rival clubs for so long that the supporters of those rivals started hating Messi because of that and naturally they support their best player in their club. Or it's just because people just chose to idolize a more taller, athletic and handsome player to boast in the social media apart from the footballing aspects.
literally. If Cristiano was ugly he would be no where near the goat debate. as far as talent Neymar and Modric are miles ahead of him never mind comparing him to Messi
Messi is the greatest of all time
The Greatest of all time.. Lionel Messi 🐐
Messi is the most complete player in the world.
Messi doesn't have a weakness. He is an Alien. Messi has lot of primes. His entire career is like a prime. And no player in the history is equal to him. Messi is the GOAT. After that there's Pele, Maradona, Cruyff
Messi is the GOAT,Messi is the best player in the planet,is the number one,Ronaldo is the number two.
He was superb when he was young with long hair. He got better of course with time. He was best with shortish but not short hair and beard. That was his best look.
Given how popular and competitive football is it's crazy how much better Messi was than everybody else at his peak. The term "GOAT" gets thrown around a lot these days but with Messi it's completely valid. Football could go on for another thousand years and we may still never see someone on that level again.
The only GOAT in football is LIONEL MESSI! 🐐
Messi IS the football
Fun fact, David Beckham retired after playing against Messi. He said it himself that Messi retired him. And now he plays for David Beckham 🙌🏽 and you can go watch him play!
Messi is the best player in history! Flat earthers: "Hold my Beer" 🍺
Messi can switch directions so fast, on full speed with the ball glued to his feet, but still keeps the composure balance and head up to see what’s around him…his technical ability in small spaces, his football iq, one touch passing, decision making…you don’t even need to mention his insane stats, goals assists trophy’s…even without them he is the goat. His stats just makes it beyond INSANE! Unimaginable and unmatched. Ronaldo was a entertaining player in his younger years, at least for the casuals. Those circus skills he had wasn’t my cup of tea. Later in his career he became a goal scoring machine, with an incredible eye for space and knowing where to be. But lacks all the quality’s Messi has, wich makes him not even close to being as complete Messi is.
2018-2019 was the best version of messi,he is so good that people call them messilona instead barcelona,bcause the team was underperform hes carrying the team and its look like hes playing alone
You can’t get enough of Messi ❤😢❤ I am so blessed to witness him 🥺🙏🥰
I ve been Lucky seeing Messi year after year doing amazing things in my city's team FC Barcelona, besides of being the best football player ever, lightyears away from others, what amazes me the most is his humble personality and low key profile. Probably i won't see a player like him anymore.
Messi is the all time greatest. His vision, his abimtion to score and create chances is far beyond anyone else in this game. Ronaldinho was the one who made me love this game but Messi is and was the most effective player of all time. He is another level.
This is our reaction when we watch Messi. Our jaws drop and we say how.
Messi is the greatest dribbler too✌️
Lol the magic of Messi is shown to a newbie. It can be easy to forget that the players he is dribbling past are professionals, the best of the best. And he makes them look like amateurs :)
Messi is the GOAT.
Messi is not at his peak anymore. But, even at 36 he can still change a game in an instant.
Bro he is the Goat of football history no doubt
There's no debate, some people prefer other players but by metrics, no one is as good as him, even the 2 biggest legends before him, Pelé and Maradona.
Messi makes it look easy ✌️
MESSI is the GOAT!!☝🏼🔥🐐
He was at his vest at three different times.
Back around 2012 he was the greatest goalscorer ever.
At around 2015, he was at his physical peak.
Around 2019, he was literally carrying his team by himself for the whole season. If you look up the 18/19 La Liga stats you'll see what I mean. He was 1st in every category except defensive ones.
Yeah he is in his twilight (he's 36 right now) but he still has the brain and the skills.
Messi is an alien like you said, and even though his peak has passed, he demolished other teams in the World Cup last year and won it, and even won the best player in the world award for that performance.
He is very consistent so it's difficult to point to his prime, as his prime is like 2007-2019 or something crazy like that. But the year he broke a 40 year-old record was in 2012 when he scored 92 goals in 1 year. The 40 year old record was 85.
The thing people keep forgetting (sometimes myself included), is that the players that he dribbles and dominates, are also professional athletes! Sometimes the best in the sport! And he just makes them look like they are regular joes on a weekend buddy match.
It’s not a debate…Media tried to make it because it helps them but it was never a real debate. 99% of players,coaches,legends and real football journalists say Messi is the best ever …. The stats and the eye test also say he is the best.
there's no debate mate, its the media. Football fans and experts know he is the GOAT. Period.
Messi is the best of all time and really that much better than anyone else. He is really unbelievable - absolute anomaly, but the thing with football is that there are many styles one can have like being great in the air, off the ball, physically dominant, etc., therefore there are many ways to be great other than just ball control and technical aspects with the ball. Having that said, the skills on the ball are the most important aspect and Messi is unparalled at those in history of football. Some might be as good as him at passing or dribbling or shoting, but nobody other than Messi is all time great at all three most important aspects of football. There is really no debate. It is quite unlikely we will ever see someone as good as him in football.

The debate exists only for those who know nothing about soccer… he is by far the best there has ever been. No debate!
he is just that much better than everyone else
Wow this your 5th Messi Reaction already nice.
Messi was always at his peak and that is also why he was (probably still is) the best. When you see amazing players they usually have a peak of 3 or 4 years. Messi and Cristiano did it for 15 years.
But the best of messi was 2012 and 2015 (for me the 2015 version was unstoppable, mature and couldn't stop scoring and assisting goals).
Messi 🐐
Messi is the MJ in football. He's considered the GOAT but you can still make the case for other top players that dominated their eras.
When you see highlights of other footballers you'll only see goals and goals throughout the video but in Messi's case when you see his highlights video for example if you're watching 30 minutes video then the 10 minutes will be just the goals and the rest time will be the magic which he produces in the pitch❤ he's the greatest 🐐❤❤❤
Love your reaction bro.I feel in love in football because of this man.Visca Barça
Messi makes me so emotional ❤😢
He is that much better than there ever has been.
Once in a generation, a football player ⚽ comes along and defies everybody... his skills beyond comprehension... his career captures the attention of the world. Lionel Messi of Argentina is this generation's #1 player - Greatest Of All Time...
Before him, it was Diego Maradona, also of Argentina, whose career in the 1980's just obliterated his competition... No player was that good and opponents would resort to physical violence on the pitch just to stop the 5' 5" guy who could play the game like nobody else in the sport.
Maradona is almost a diety in Argentina and in Napoli, Italy... the club he raised from obscurity to the championship titles.
I is a "debate" because of fanatism for Ronaldo. He is clearly a monster of football but he is only a goal scorer, and people who dont understand football thinks that the only that matters are goals. But football is everything, is assisting, dribbling, scoring, defending, saving a goal as a goalkeeper, is intelligence, is vision, is timing, is instant quick solving. Thats why there is a debate 😂
unpopular opinion, i think messi deserve the ballon dor more than haaland in 2023, because haaland only score goals and messi is a complete playmaker and makes the team has a better chemistry
@@devf8809 is not unpopular at all bro 🤣 he won
So very true!
The long hair was when he was younger and he was better in both era, he was very good even as a young and old player
Messi was a cheat code for over 10 years incredible player
He is not only striker he is complete player ever who can does every role in team to decide match
That whole video is insane
he points at the sky to honor his late gradma who was his best support system when he was growing up.
I get emotional when I watch him. Just like any great art
🐐🐐🐐❤❤
Was a clip I haven't run across lately where Messi is in a dead run, plants his forward foot and does an about face running the other way.
His only weaknesses are his teammates
His Argentina teammates help him finally win the world cup.
You should also watch Ronaldinho; they used to play together at Barcelona in the beginning years of Messi.
There is no debate for managers and great footballers but the fans have a strong emotions to their team players so don't wait a madrid fan to love messi he tortured them for years !!
He is now way past his peak
Messi doesn't have that speed anymore, but the passing technique, long-range shooting, is like a conductor in an orchestra. Messi has been playing in top form since he was 19 years old. Only last year, when he played in Miami, it was clear that you can't stop age. But yes Messi the best player of all time.
I'm a Man Utd fan, I saw Ronaldo make his debut, I've seen his whole career and what an insane player he became but Messi is just different. It's difficult to explain but Ronaldo does things that people expect but does them flawlessly every time, which is an amazing talent, but Messi just creates things that normal people can't even imagine, his mind is working on a different level to everyone else.
yeah, he's just that special
i went to Camp Nou and saw him agianst atletico, he is even more amazing IRL. Nothing comes close to Lio
Thing is that a lot of people discuss about who scores more goals or has the most trophies and things like that. As far as skill goes and how good of a player they are, nobody comes even close to Messi. He is BY FAR the greatest player to ever play the game. And even so, he still has like a million trophies and scored a million goals (even 91 goals in a calendar year, which is insane). No matter how you look at it, he's the GOAT. People prefer other players which is completely fine obviously, they're just not at the same level as Messi.
