I would also want to mention that Messi not only gives those assists or scores those goals, he also creates those plays that end in assists or goals (not waiting for those plays, he makes those plays!!!). And that is the big difference between Messi and the rest of the pure forwards or pure wingers. Messi is also a playmaker from another planet. Offensively, EVERYTHING is historical about Messi. Best playermaker, best dribbler, best passer, best assister and best goalscorer. In every historical offensive chart is top1-top3. His game is from another planet. Assist 2º and 3º Messi also creates almost alone the play.

Messi tiene una mente científica

That is amazing because I know Suarez is in pain. He said he has to take many painkillers to even play.

But CR7 claim that he's better than any other football player in the history of football he's better than Pele ,Maradona n messi. Even CR7 fan n other football media n pandit believe that CR7 doesn't need to win world cup and trophies because he's the only Goat

Since he began playing, he has consistently cast a shadow over every major player, from esteemed midfielders like Xavi, Iniesta, and Busquets to renowned forwards such as Neymar, Etoo, Henry, and countless others.

Rojas too, Rojas to me deserves a lot of credit. Not to discredit Messi of course, but inter miami’s first two goals were all due to Rojas. He scores a lovely shot for the first goal, and closes down the defender for the second which turns over possession and leads into suarez assisting Messi. Tata Martino with a wonder substitution

So true!

*penaldo

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 I think u re right anyway because this Messi is something else

I was a Ronaldo fan then I watched Messi play.. bro!! Messi is the GOAT. No 🧢

Thats not fair to Ronaldo. He is probably the most lethal finisher in soccer history, probably better than Messi in this aspect. But Messi is an Alien. He makes the play happen.

@andrewhabroad Ronaldo isn't a better finisher than Messi tho. He has more goals because he's played over 100 games more. Messi has a better chance converting ratio, better shot accuracy, and a better goal-to-game ratio than Ronaldo.

I was all into cricket basically sachin Tendulkar until 2006 when my brother introduced me to messi., i was 14 then And i never looked back. Watched almost 95% of his games till the 2014 final. And after, i've seen almost 75% of his games. To me he is godly. I assume even gods are proud of themselves seeing him play the game. I'm sure they tell each other " we did a good job making him play football".

Consistency! That's what makes him stand out

It is truly truly magic.

100%. I'm absolutely dreading the day Messi retires. In a way, I will retire too. I'll still watch the game, but it won't be special any more.

You are absolutely right. As a soccer player watching Messi plays is like watching a soccer artist performs on a theatrical stage, only that is an open field instead.

*Argentina

@@dixidum2380 I WAS DRUNK!

@@juansolis4796 That's what Messi does to you!

I think he sees the future... it's paranormal

It's definitely the 3 aliens in a meat suit.

its called God, messi is proof of God's existence

@@machinefannatic99I love your comment

I don’t think he’s the best passer but i definitely think he’s the most lethal and most precise passer

Thanks Jonathan!

@@ItsCalledSoccer In Spanish it's called 'pase de tres dedos' (a three-toe pass). If you watch carefully, he hits the ball with the smaller side of his foot and on a chamfer, using only three toes. This enables him to get his boot well under the ball and flick his ankle to give that spin. All in a split second. The skill it takes to pull that off with that precision is outrageous.

in Italy it's called "palla con il contagiri" (ball/pass with the lap counter )

he does a similar thing at the beginning of a game when he was with PSG. They scored in the first 8 seconds. Game starts, pass back to Messi, Mbappe is running straight at the goal. Messi puts the ball in the air with backspin. It has enough pace to get over the defender, but when it hits the ground, it loses forward velocity and the goalkeeper can't get to it. It sets up perfectly for Mbappe who just dinks it over the goalie. Sublime. There are few things in the world better than being a Messi fan. Be a fan of Messi because he will reward you with happiness more often than any other athlete.

@@S0ulinth3machin3 I was very impressed that, that pass was not for Mbappe, it was for a 37 years old slow Suarez. I was impressed how much Suarez was making efforts to run his old fat ass to the ball. The ball was astoundingly precise.

Agreed.

Of course he is

100% ball knowledge

So, how Champions League experience so far sir ?

I think he has they avility to see the match from above as if he has a drone and other thing is that time slows down in his mind when he has the ball. I,m not saying he is Flash but kind of superpower 😊

De Bruyne would but that's besides the point. To have that skill, the vision, is truly rare.

​@@TheAbdalla2012yes , agreed. The vision and ability. The imagination as well as the application. This pass was surgically performed , a masterclass but top of the passes was this one! It had everything, vision, speed, accuracy. The camel was threaded.

Di Maria did some inteview that Messi is watching the game from above . "All i can do is run, and the ball is there " - DiMaria to Messi

That one against Holland is one of the craziest assists I've ever seen in such massive stage. WC 2022 Messi was just fucking fenomenal to witness. Fingers crossed for this next Copa America, looks like he's sharp af for that one too.

Not really. Messi is 5'7" Messi is an extremely intelligent player that's what different about Messi

The consistency is crazy

I was flabbergasted

Nobody "hates" Messi. Whatever you may read is simply from people that hate beauty. There's no help for them.

💯

Anyone can make the pass that became the first assist. The rest of the assists, I have to correct you. Not anyone can make those passes. There's a few people who can do it. Two or three in the world, at best.

Doesn't seem like he's slowing down anyways.

@@ItsCalledSoccer he's not as fast as he was 10-12 years ago when he could outrun everyone even if he was dribbling. But I'd say that every other part of his game is better.

​@@S0ulinth3machin3yeah, messi at prime is monster , especially 2009 Champions League Final

Let's just sit back and enjoy

@@ItsCalledSoccer Jake, the 2nd goal is vintage Luisito….i remember one game against Espanyol where 3 defenders were bouncing off him while he calmly scored a corker. After Leo, Dani Alves and Luisito are my favs

I am sure the way it is done is not new, but it is the timing, the execution and the ease with which he does it that is so impressive.

That's awesome thank you for that!

Worldwide its called "trivela" a portuguese term for "tres dedos"

The backspin effect I think It's like the dropshot in tennis.

@louismichael6843 yeah, it's basically that, I don't know how you can do that with that speed and precision

Messi is so good that it overshadowed Suarez.

Yeah I really think it's him and not MLS defending.

@@ItsCalledSoccer Well, it's a bit of both. And, based on eye test of how MLS defending usually works, I feel like a lot of teams playing Miami have been told to not touch the master, because no one wants to be that guy whose career is mostly remembered because he injured the GOAT and no owner wants to face MLS and explain why the broke the cash cow.

@@celebrim1 Ah, the enduring myth that MLS players are woven from spider silk and whispers when it comes to Messi, lest they shatter the delicate porcelain of the league's prized cash cow. A quaint notion, indeed, but reality paints a far less genteel picture. Exhibit A: Nashville's Lukas MacNaughton, who flirted dangerously with rewriting Messi's future over a tackle that, in the grand narrative, was a mere footnote, yet almost etched in infamy. And let's not gloss over the Redbull extravaganza; it was less a football match and more a collective attempt at Messi enclosure every time the man dared to cradle the ball. It's a spectacle that would've enlightened anyone who actually watched the game in its gritty entirety, rather than those who prefer to construct their opinions from the comfortable remove of highlight reels. So, before you usher us back into your fanciful, albeit imaginary realm where Messi is treated with the untouchable reverence of a Ming vase on the pitch, perhaps a comprehensive viewing of the first half, free from the selective amnesia of edited clips, would serve as a gentle nudge towards reality.

He made La Liga look like amateurs for years.

😂😂😂😂

Similar to the World Cup. During the Semifinals, Croatia Vs Argentina, he just ask Alvarez to make a run to the box. Once he is there, boom, Goal!! 🤯

Cheers thank you!

Casual lol

He should still get considered.

Surely U have to rate Messi the higher goat than Suarez?

@@jonnyberens5152 i mean messi and kendrick lamar, hence the the end of the video

Thank you so much!

now let me hear you say OVHOOOOOOOOO

That was Argentina vs. Portugal

Haha true Roca

It was just the one glance to know where everyone would be.

The crazy thing is the run Matias Rojas makes. Mind you this kid showed up to practice one week before this game. They made it look like they know each other from birth!

@@juanpablovasquez6776 Matias Rojas is no kid. He's a 28 year old veteran Paraguay international who has played some of the top clubs in South America. But its still impressive, particularly as Rojas has hardly played this year because of his contract dispute with Corinthians (which is why he was available in the first place).

@@donviajero2580 I guess I said kid because of two reasons, one is his age relative to mine and the second to make a point about his "newness" to the team. Yeah at 28 he's probably been a pro for 10 years. I did read about him and his performance the in previous clubs hasn't been stellar. He barely scored, however he started to trend up last year, and I guess this hopefully is the place where his potential is realized. It was a good start and I hope his class shows, however I wouldn't be surprised if he fades away.

Yeah, he takes a peek and sees the future.

Well said!

Thanks so much!

Thanks Ron! Will do!

@@ItsCalledSoccervery well done. It’s given me an even deeper appreciation of Messi’s skills. And yes.agree - it is beautiful to watch and magical and gives me goosebumps.

Football is the correct name. Balompié is Spanish word for football.

@@DanceySteveYNWA Yes it is like I said I will never use the other name.

@@lavoznailim7823 Football was invented by the British. They're not going to call it a foreign name 😂

@@DanceySteveYNWA It is straightforward FOOT and then BALL. What they call football here is played with the hands and you need to wear armour like a freaking gladiator, that has nothing to do with football (well maybe because you could lose a foot going after the ball?) It matters not who invented the sport it is not SOCCER period.

@@lavoznailim7823 keep telling yourself that. Football ⚽

He said steps ahead not seconds.

True. These were just the goals lol

Tus videos son lo mas! ... SILLA! 🪑

Well said!

Cheers!

That's the fact...I mean it's really sad

It's pathetic, and shows allegiance to a brand rather than the actual knowledge of the sport... Celebrity over fact logic

Thanks so much Gustavo

I didn’t even know that!

I expected it but it still surprises me that’s how good he is.

*you right

I’ll call it FULBO only from now on 👍

Wow thanks!
