Someone once said "If you watch Cristiano play football, you think it's the hardest sport in the world, if you watch Messi play football, you think it's the easiest sport in the world".

When Ronaldo Score You Say Wow! When Messi Score You Say How?! Big Difference 👌

For those who really know football, there was never a debate. Messi was always a greater footballer than Ronaldo. The real debate is who is the goat between Messi, Maradona and Pele

The crazy thing about Messi is that when you watch him he makes you forget that the people he’s doing this against are also PRO PLAYERS. These are men who have been playing since they could walk, who get paid thousands every week to play, who spend hours and hours on the training ground every week practicing their defence, and then Messi comes along and makes them look like it’s their first day on the job

For those who aren’t really into football, Ronaldo’s highlights will prob look better since they’re more flashy, exciting, power-based, etc. But once you understand the game, you’ll see that Messi’s tactics, vision, and ball control are literally on an a completely different level. He’s also more of a playmaker then a pure scorer, but even then he’s still the 2nd highest goal scorer (after Ronaldo) and the 1st all time leader in assists, whereas Ronaldo is basically irrelevant in that department. And after winning the WC yesterday, there’s really no debate (apart from Ronaldo super fanboys and the oldheads who like Pele/Maradona). He is now, undeniably, The GOAT 🐐

Messi is the perfect player you will ever see. Efficiency personified.

Ronaldo is like a karate fighter, with impact kicks. And when the ball goes in, it's a cannon. He surprises you by the power, but you are not surprised by how he has achieved it. Messi's goals are like mathematical calculations, he achieves goals that should be impossible to do... and yet he scores them. He can run at incredible speed with the ball at his feet, dodge 7 players and still have the ball, and score a goal that had to fit between the opponent's legs, the goalkeeper's hands and the goalpost by just a millimeter. . Although he can also score amazing goals with power and impact (as Ronaldo does), he can also kick a ball and send it off like a paper plane toss... light, slow, curvy... and score on the net! perfection!

For non football fans, you cant understand how good he is. The best way to describe his dominance is comparing a college sports superstar playing against high-school team. Keep in mind all these videos you just saw, feature the best professional players, who are savages in their own rights. Messi is on a whoooooole other lvl. Hes from a different galaxy. Messi doesnt only belong to Argentina, Messi is universal, loved adored and revered in every corner of the earth. He is football.

Messi is the footballer for people who understand football. It's as if the ball is attached to his feet no matter how fast he runs, the best sense of balance, best dribbler, best passer, fastest ability to change direction, genius ability to curve the ball in incredible ways to make goals that are seemingly impossible. One of my favorite things that he does is drive the ball to goal under their feet while they're jumping. I think that may be why sometimes now you see someone lying down. The other amazing thing is that so much of this just comes naturally to him. There are videos of him playing at 6 and you can tell it's Messi. They let a 14 year old kid play professionally. That's never happened.

Funfact, Messi is the only football player who is much better in real life than his fifa counterpart. The passes and dribbles he does in real life can't be emulated in game. It's so technical the game can't keep up. It's just not possible.

The very first goal of this video ( vs Nigeria) is just as amazing as it is overlooked. The technical ability required to control the ball and set up the shoot with the right foot at that speed is unreal. This is not flashy, but it won't go unnoticed for those who understand the game

I rarely see him upset even when getting hacked. He is also such a sportsman and gentleman.

Messi is without a doubt the most complete players ever, he is absolutely the GOAT. He does everything, he scores, he assists, he creates chances and supports the build up by opening spaces. His in game IQ is phenomenal. At 19 and early 20's he was making Real Madrid look silly, he was embarrassing the defenses of Arsenal and Man United. In the clip where he made Boateng sit down and lobbed the keeper, that was against BAYERN MUNICH in the Champions League, he is a completely different level and will always the greatest player to ever play the game for me and I'm so blessed to have got to witness Lionel Messi.

Ronaldo is from another Planet... Messi is from another Dimension.. plain and simple. If you've not been a football fan all your life then I hope you realise that you're lucky to be alive to witness a player that's considered the best there's ever been in over 100 years of football. You should see how many titles and awards and records he's got... it's like a shopping list. I feel blessed to witness such a player in an era where there are so many Top, Top players in the history of the sport, pure athletes such as Ronaldo, etc... and yet Messi still stands above them.

If you have ever stepped on a field to play, you know by far, there can never be anyone this good as good messi is. He is just exceptional.

Messi makes world class footballers look like school aged footballers

Messi is poetry in motion. Makes the game look so pure. Doesn't need the flash. His skills speak for themselves

Pique described the difference between Ronaldo and Messi to me perfectly- Ronaldo is the best of the humans but Messi isn’t human 😂 For me Messi always has been the 🐐 and him winning the World Cup is just the cherry on top ❤️👍

This reaction video is just another proof of the famous saying, "When ronaldo plays you say Wow, but when Messi plays you say HOWWWW" Yes when you first see ronaldo playing you get impressed, but then when you watch videos of Messi playing you are just lost for words.. 🐐 for a reason ❤

Ronaldo : I was sent by God to be the greatest in football. Messi,Maradona & Pele : We didn't send anyone :3

Difference is that you can feel Messi's magic, you can feel the man really ain't human, i can tell you the closest i've seen a footballer do the things Messi does was Maradona, no one else, then you have really flashy players like Neymar, Ronaldinho, Ronaldo, but none of them can grab the ball and go past 7 men like they are cones, we are talking about trashing ELITE players, no one comes close to Messi

Messi doing crazier stuff than Ronaldo, the different is, Messi did it very casually and naturally while Ronaldo's body looks stiff when doing those tricks.

Messi is a more complete player. When messi plays he is a threat both outside the penalty box and in the box. He was created to play football. Divine talent.

The guy Messi dropped at 10:52 is Jerome Boateng who, at the time, was comfortably a top 3 defender in the world(if not the best). The goalkeeper he chipped over is Manuel Neuer, imo the best goalkeeper of all time, at the peak of his powers(both of them world cup winners the previous year and won the triple two years prior). It was also a Champions League semi-final and the goal was voted as UCL goal of the season.

What makes Messi such a force is his ability to basically control his own gravitational balance with his frame. With such a low center of gravity, his body frame just allows him to achieve the perfect combination of balance, speed, agility, and control, he takes more strides per dribble thus forcing himself to always keep the ball close and in doing so he naturally has the ability to use his quickness and elusiveness to basically carve up opponents. You mix that with vision and innovation and it's almost impossible to stop.

Messi….Gods gift to football for all of us to watch and enjoy! Born with the ball at his feet! There will never be another like him! Forza Messi!

5:05 He wasn't the one who slid, that was Jordi Alba... he was the one who passed it to him, AND WHAT A PASS THAT WAS !!!

Ronaldo is more into scoring. But Messi does it all. He passes like. Playmaker and scores like a striker. He hold the record of the player who scored the most goals in one year 91 goal in 2012.

Messi is the most complete footballer player ever. You've just reacted to some of his best goals and dribbles, but what also makes him better than everyone else is his passing. Messi is the footballer with the most assists ever (386), his brilliant vision, passing and understanding of the game is what sets him apart from everyone else. You should see some of his crazy assists and passes as well. He is a genius🐐

We are soooo blessed to live in the era of both Messi and Ronaldo. They are the two best football players to ever live. Ronaldo is an absolute scoring machine during his career. Messi is still in a class by himself as I've NEVER seen a player who so often goes through an entire team like a knife through butter like Messi can, and yet also be the best passer to ever live too!

He's not only fast, he's fast with the Ball!

And now he’s world champion 🔥

Not having Ronaldo in the same conversation as Messi anymore your reactions in 19 minutes are the exact reactions I've had for the past 19 years

Brother.. He is the only complete player in football ever. What he does no one can.

Ronaldo is a gladiator. Messi is a ninja. That's it.

we are world chsmpions now. Messi deserved it. He cannot run that fast now, he`s 35, but he`s so humble and generous that he creates and passes the ball to younger players,who can finish the goal.

Messi is like a freak steph curry, kyrie Irving, prime James harden combined together... He's what you call pure talent, he's a playmaker, he's just pure entertainment whether he scores or not, he puts on a show dribbling, running, going through defenders, you can't take your eyes off him, and it's all natural, he's just gifted!! Ronaldo in general is a greater goal scorer and finisher, just like a machine, his main job is to score, just get him the ball and he'll put it in, Messi on the other hand is a schemer, his main job is to dismantle the opposing team's defence, create space whether for him or his teammates, that's why he got way more assists than Ronaldo!! Ronaldo buit/engineered himself to perfection working very hard on his craft, Messi's a natural, it's more than noticeable in their movement and control of the ball!! Ronaldo's the best human being footballer( a soldier type), Messi's just an alien(a magician/sorcerer)!! So they're both more or less on the same level, it's just that if you ask anybody who's considered a "pure football player"?! Nobody can deny that that can only describe Messi!

Watching back these lionel messi vidoes i'm just awe and goosebumps is killing me

Messi's last goal from this video is almost like a God's tribute to Maradona's goal against England in 1986, that's why it's so high on the list.

For me there was never a debate Messi let his football do the talking and ronaldo let his fans do the talking

There's no contest, Messi is on top of just about anyone that's played. 👌🤣

He has the hability to do the impossible and that it looks simple

“Oh he slid” he thought Messi was Jordi alba scoring the goal but miss out on the highlight which was actually the pass itself😂

Man I feel your reaction. Messi is beyond words and feelings. He is the greatest.

ALL informed commentators believe Ronaldo is the best in the world....Messi is in a galactic category of brilliance of his own. Check out the stats. What separates these two more significantly, is Messi's humility. A gift to soccer fans, Messi is a wonderful human who values his family as much as his craft. Messi has NEVER claimed to be the best, rather, that it is the people that decide for themselves. A world class person PERIOD.

That slide goal you said was not about the slide, it was about the defense-splitting pass. Messi was the passer there.

You can’t describe messi that’s why he is the Goat

What Ronaldo does, he's the best at it, what Messi can do, nobody else can. And we have to remember he makes it look easy playing against the world elite, we're priviledge to witness these two.

Ronaldo is the definition of practice makes perfect, Messi is the definition of born gifted.

Messi has the bestest all around game of ALL TIME. He's not even that bad of a defender when he puts his mind to it. His highlights might not be as spectacular as some others (check out Zlatan's career highlight reel if you really wanna see some seriously crazy soccer shit) but he's been the most dominant footballer on the planet for nearly two decades. Longtime AVAILABILITY is a great ability in its own right.

You got it right Messi is natural and technical beautiful player or football ⚽️

Messi just won the world cup champion 🏆 🥇 and the debate is over already .. messi the goet 🦁

The ankara Messi was the moment that still gives me goosebump everytime I watched it.

Messi had teams defending free kicks differently bcoz of his sneaky under the wall goals. He is such a joy to watch bcoz he makes it so easy its like he is playing with his Kids while playing with professional footballers. Running away from defenders like their standing still. You could watch the compilation of his missed goals and he would still be better than the rest!! Real Madrid tried to injure him every game bcoz he was just too good for them!!

Ronaldo and Messi in their primes are both out of this world! Their strengths and styles differ which means, it can be very much an individual's opinion, or just what they most enjoy watching. Almost all people under about 30-35 years old will choose one of the other of these two to be, not just the best now but the G.O.A.T. I personally believe that comparing player from different generations is even more complicated (different styles, training, fitness, lifestyles, and even rules) The game has become far more offensive and much less physical, at least in a sense of contact between players that constitutes a foul. So stats from different eras are never a true representation of who is was better. I just feel lucky to have had years of watching these to entertain and thrill millions of people, two this good in one generation is a very rare thing.

Whenever any defenders got dribbled by messi , they r not angry rather they are shocked at wat happened n realise the magic he shown them 😅😅😅

13:31 thank you for that, never understood how ppl say Messi not fast...when he moves faster with the ball magnetically attached to his feet than players who don't have the ball...i mean at any given moment he got 3-5 defenders, who don't have to worry about dribbling and maintaining control of the ball chasing him breathless to no avail until they collide into each other

I’m so enjoy watching Messi videos here in KZfaq I never get tired I love him since World Cup 2022❤

The thing you're missig if you don't follow football, the players his doing these amazing moves on are top world class defenders. He's on a different level.

He is the best dribbler,the best play maker,best goal scorer ! He is a genius.

The fact that when messi plays an away game either in another country or other clubs field the opposing team will literally be cheering messi on or have a shirt or something that says messi, and they are playing their team 😂 thats how you know the man is the GOAT when the opposing team fans are cheering for you

Messi is the heritage of football ❤️

Excellent Reaction! Greetings For Everyone From Argentina!

The difference between Messi or Ronaldo is that Messi is a team player and a leadership that's mean is a complete player more than Ronaldo.

You have just watched the best football player ever. Just ask his opponents!He's set records, won every trophy there is inc. The World Cup. Fantastico!

He didnt slid, he made the pass that broke the whole teams defense

Like some other dude said earlier. He was spot on. When Ronaldo scores, you say wow! But when Messi scores, you say How the? Then you watch it over and over again and you still think…. But how?

a man's will can be matched by another man's will on the field and one will beat the other... but when a 5'7" man beats entire teams by himself its a wonder to behold, freak of nature.

Messi is the best passer in history,the best Dirblel in the history,the best finsher in the history, Simply the best!!🐐❤

the goal at 7:39 that says "Science had no answer", he was compared to an NFL player , because Messi sprinted faster, then stopped on a dime and never lost control of the ball... it has its own clip out there on youtube

Cristiano Ronaldo is a phenomenal player. One of the best ever. However, Messi is in a league of his own. If you want to use sort of an American football analogy, Messi is like a Quarterback who can equally create plays, make terrific passes, and consistently do QB rushes equally proficiently. That's who Messi is. Ronaldo is a prolific dribbler and scorer and does some amazing stuff, but he is not a prolific chance creator or play-maker. Messi is the sort of player who will make everyone around him so much better on the field because of the chances that he creates plus he is equally destructive with the ball in the goal as well. Probably one of the best lines I heard regarding these two came from an analyst (I don't remember the name), but he said something like this - Ronaldo will do things that we have seen other players do, but he simply does it way better than other players. However, Messi does things that other players are incapable of doing. He is one of a kind, a magician with the ball. That is why once he is done playing it will be a great loss for all of us. Watching Ronaldo is like watching a really good boxer in the ring. Watching Messi is like watching a Hero in an action movie who takes down his opponents one by one, which is not realistic and possible in real life. But only in the case of Messi the he makes the unrealistic real...

There is no debate Messi is the goat. Everyone who watches him knows it. This man scored 91 goals in one year.

Hey man . Glad you're enjoying the greatest artist of our generation. You can also watch videos about his passes/assist and you'll discover another aspect of his game . His top 3 passer in history too..

Sometimes I feel Messi is a time traveler coz it's like he already knows his opponents' move before he makes his.

Messi will make football look very easy. Football noobs will think football is easy if they see Messi. But when they watch actual football, they will realize the true talent of Messi. Undisputed GOAT.

You want to see some more amazing goals? Look up his teammate Luis Suarez. He was genius in his own right. There was nothing like watching prime Barcelona, it wasn't a game, it was a show, worth every second of your time.

It's not what messi does that's mesmerssing. It's the way he does it, its the flow.. He does it with ease and finesse. Not everyone can do that.

The thing about Messi (well, one of the many things) is that yes, he is very fast (especially at his peak), but what separates him is that he can go absolutely balls out full speed while he's dribbling, and maintain incredible control throughout. I'm American and paid very little attention to football / soccer, till I wached one of the Messi vids. Totally mesmerized me and made me a football fan. He is the easiest way to make a noob understand why it is "the beautiful game."

Heard the perfect thing the other day. When comparing Ronaldo and messi this is the best explanation : if an artist created the perfect footballer it would be messi. If an engineer created the perfect footballer it would be ronaldo

It's simple really; if someone makes the sport look incredibly easy, it's because he is just on a different level. Watching Messi play feels like watching an adult playing against 6yos. Ronaldo is all flashy and stuff, and it's very fun to watch, but everything seems hard to do, that to me isn't a compliment. Also, you don't even understand how special Messi is for football fans, he is universally adored. I'm from Chile, we've never liked Argentinians (because of old conflicts between both countries) and yet I fucking love Messi, I don't miss any of his games and I really wanted Argentina to win the world cup because of him; Messi makes people forget real life rivalries, he trascends football.

Ronaldo is the best human player, but messi is an alien. He's been sent by god to show us the most brilliant and magical way football can be played. We're incredibly lucky to live during the era of the best football player the world has ever seen.

Dude welcome to Messi came he’s simply the best player there is ever for this century.

As a guy in another video comments section said: "Cristiano Ronaldo does consistently, week in, week out, what other players do once or twice in their career. Messi does consistently, week in, week out, what nobody else ever does"

just look at a vide of Messi's passing, Ronaldo has the most goals record but Messi has the most assists record

Please don’t compare the GOAT with any other person. He is incomparable.

Ronaldo is a fantastic and prolific goalscorer, but Messi is from another planet. Without a doubt Messi is the greatest of all time. The only playmaker with 700+ goals and the only goalscorer with 300+ assists. Words cannot describe what Messi is.

This video must be a baptism by fire for anybody, that compares any other player to Messi.

Messi has a Saying: The Routine of the Extraordinary, that is why nowdays at his 35 years when he continues to do those Extraordinary goals or passes it is like a Regular thing now, while when other player manages to do 1 of the 10 things Messi has done, he gets more credit than Messi.

Messi is not only how he scores, is how he sees the game, the passes down to less than an inch of perfection, he has a vision of the game like no other. THE GOAT. His plays are so efficient, he'd do the most efficient and quickest way to score.

I'm 64, I've seen them all, but Messi is the greatest. The video you chose shows only a fraction of his genius.

I kind of get what your saying, but bro, no, there is not another human being on the planet no matter how much 'potential' they have who could match Messi, hes been doing what hes been doing for 17 years straight averaging about 60 - 70 games a season, nobody ever will show those levels ever again, maybe they could match or better him for a couple of years but NOBODY will ever do his levels again for 17 years straight.

That’s why I call him the G.O.A.T🏆🌟💯⚡️✊🏻. My G.O.A.T. ❤️❤️💯💯🏆🏆⚡️⚡️🌟🌟

All I would say to someone who has never seen Messi play is fasten your seatbelt and enjoy the ride

Liked your honest and sincere reaction!

Love your reactions, Messi is just Magic, I'm blessed to be my age and love football, I had seen Legends Pele,Maradona, and Now Messi, He's The One, And is going to be a long time before we see someone like him, I'm sure you are NBA fan, Check Hakeem Olajuwon and you can see many moves like Messi, That's why Michael Jordan,love him and respect him,He won two NBA Championships, and Check Manu from the San Antonio Spurs, Argentinian and a friend of Messi,He got the moves like Messi, Amazing HOF in the NBA.

9:07 Context: Paul Scholes is a legend of the game, Messi as a teenager totally destroyed him that night, actually that was Ferguson's Manchester United, one of the best teams of all time, young Lio made that team look really bad 😂

The comparison is no longer there Bro😄 the Debate was over on Sunday 🙂

Bro his assist are just as amazing as his dribbling and scoring. It’s shit you wouldn’t even see until he does it or you sit back and be like how the fuck did he get that pass in that perfect spot. He’s amazing man. Messi truly is the goat

Messi isbthe greatest of all time....he is a complete player he scores and passes....the beauty of him is he will draw 4, 5 defenders and get away and make it look easy ....also he passes extremely well...he is 35 now and just won 3 international 🏆s for his country...he was fast at 19 and in his prime now he just a bit slower but still better then everyone

If don't know Messi is left foot player. The left foot is the strong one where come the magic. But in this video some of his iconic goals are made with right foot. This show how complex player it is. His is also a may be one of the greatest playmakers of all time, becose almost of his passes are just insane. I think what you tring to say for Messi game that is more nature, more in harmony with the ball. Ronaldo is product of hard work, countless hours of training saying in numbers is 90% training and 10% talant. Messi is opposite 90% talant and 10% training.
