I love how "prime messi" covers from 2009 to 2022 with the world cup, the dude was in prime his entire career.

No wonder he's nowadays considered the greatest footballer of all time! Technically, with the ball at his feet, no other player has ever reached such a supreme and divine level of continuous performance and unreal talent. The greatest genius in football history! Real and absolute GOAT!

my favorite thing about so many messi clips is how often you'll see his teammates just kinda walking along with it, not even rushing to aid the offense, because they know messi is more than likely gonna be able to just dance around 5 opponents and finish by himself anyway

The fact that he can run full speed and keep the ball so close is unreal. He runs so fast and can touch the ball every step he takes, amazing ball control. One of the many things that made him one of the best ever if not the best in my humble opinion..

He does not need the word "prime". In his normal season, he was still the best in the world. Even in his worst seasons in Europe, he still created incredible things that no one could do

Prime Messi? He is always in his prime!

His ability to maintain momentum and change directions (with the ball) while multiple defenders are literally chopping at his shins and feet is incredible to watch. Unbelievable!

I've never seen anyone dribble like Messi. Yes, I've watched Ronaldo, CR7, Garrincha, Dinho and all. But no, honestly Messi is magical. The way twists and turns is unreal in such close distances with 3 or 4 defenders around him is simply unreal.

The thing that impresses me is Messi's balance. He has to control the.ball and deal with other players at top speed, and yet he can stay upright. Awesome to watch.

Prime Messi is just scary. Literally the peak of football! No one will ever exceed his magic! 🐐

His peak days in general and especially in the Champions League were from 2009 to 2015 but from 2016 he was also excellent a little less than his peak days but his prime in the national team from 2016 was special. Hope he takes another Copa America next year🐐❤️❤️🐐

there is a predator under that calm and humble face of him.

In 2007 he was already the world best fballer till 2023..the only goat🙇🏽‍♂️

I luv how at 1:50 all his teamate just chilling and probably thinking - "Yea it's alright, he doesnt need us"

Messi melhor jogador da história

A wizard, magician, sorcerer, magisterial genius. A god of football. Messi lives in his own galaxy. The greatest of all time and by a long, long way. Its impossible to justify the magnitude of this legend as there are not enough superlatives in any language to do so.

Funny thing is, this video isn't even 20 percent of all the things he has done. Magical to be able to see him live!

I will watch clips of Messi for as long as i live. I followed Messi since he was 18yo and what a joy its been 🙌

1:52 What a REMARKABLE ASSIST from Sergio Busquets!! JUST WOW!!

I can't believe that I saw all these scenes live, I watched them hundreds of times after that, but I still watch them, it's enjoyable for me

One of the many reasons I believe Messi is the greatest ever period is because had simply focused on scoring his entire career like in 2012, he would have the most goals of all time with ease. Had he simply focused on creating and controlling the game from the midfield, he would have been considered the greatest midfielder ever. He thrives in anything attacking position.

The player who is thinking 100 times faster than any player on the field.

4:40 To me, this play shows Messi in all his glory even tho he doesn't even score it and the goal was disallowed due to a tight off-side. And in what other than a match between Barcelona and Real Madrid. He grabs the ball close to the midfield. He gets 3 players on him. And manages to attract 2-3 more. Manages to escape the first 3 players with relative ease. The 4th one attempts to cross his leg but fails. A 5th one comes from the back, but he too fails and leaves a gap in the last line. At this point, the 6th one has to leave his mark to cover the 5th player's position. But it's too late, because with little else to do, a teammate just runs to the space behind a 7th player and Messi puts the ball right there where he wants it. His teammate doesn't even have to control and instead just finish with one touch. In the score of that match, it won't even show up. At best, you'll see in the highlights that here was a goal disallowed by off-side. But what Messi did in that play... Goal or no goal, you just cannot take that away. You gotta hate the game if you think there's no value. And the same thing goes for all other plays Messi(or even any player, why not) that don't necessarily end in a goal. Because that's the real beauty of football. There's so much more to it than merely scoring a goal.

It's not only the prime of Messi but the prime of football played level. Maybe we will never see this level of football played again.

Who is the greatest of the greatest ? Messi 2006-2009 : greatest right-inverted winger Messi 2009-2014 greatest playmaking forward Messi 2014-2017 : greatest right-inverted playmaker Messi 2017-2021 : greatest playmaking deep-lying forward Messi 2021 : greatest playmaking advanced midfielder

El cambio de ritmo que tenía Messi con pelota no tenía ningún tipo de sentido

after 50 years , i dont think kids will believe a human being played football like this..riduculous, absolute beast ❤

I love the idea of no music and just letting the clips flow. Only thing I would add is the team that he’s going against and what date it was :) great video all around

Messi has been in his prime his entire career.

The best part about him i observe ( as a casual ) is how compact he is with the ball. Short swift movements

There is no such thing as prime messi. he was always the best, from 2008 till he left Barca, 2022 world cup and even in psg although he was not comfortable in there, he was, unreal.

even as a Ronaldo fan, I always watch messi clips to help myself improve on the pitch

I am a CR7 fan but I have never seen anyone dribbling like this.. he is really an alien brohh

2:01 the moment Messi got the ball the defense AUTOMATICALLY went for him. Every single defender. That's insane

Barcelona's love for Messi is more than justified. He is a legend of that club. He is 'the' legend.

Agree all except that Prime Messi word always Prime always best

His prime never ended

7 or 8 profesional and athletic the élite defenders cant not stop !,, goat so far

as a real fanboy messi was just too much i remember literally getting scared when he gets the ball and starts ghosting through our defense

Messi is still unreal. He always will be. Goat!

1:25 passes like that is why I love football

We are so blessed Ronaldo gaves us thrill with his ego centered passion and Messi entertained us with his soft elegant dribbling

Messi es arte en su máxima Expresión ❤

young fast messi was quicksilver... playstation... but older messi was pure football technique. masterclasses in dribble, passing and finishing

prime=whole career🐐👽🇦🇷🙏🏽⚽️

we were so privileged to get to watch him

No one can come close to this man's talent. Ronaldo maybe has half of it

Madrid nightmare

Messi became The GOAT with only basic football skills, Dribble, Passing & Receiving, Shooting, Body-Feints and decision making. To beat defenders, he doesn't need to use fancy tricks like Rabona, The Step-over, The Roulette etc. prime messi is still there today. Messi only feels enough for all the achievements he has got. He just lowered the throttle.

out of the world🐐🐐💯💯💯🔥🔥🔥

Messi the 🐐

No drama, no theatrics; pure football.

He is just great

We will NEVER EVER see something alike!

Unreal! That's the perfect word. Prime Messi was in video game mode 🔥

I don’t care what your bias is, you’re lying if you say this man isn’t the best you’ve ever seen.

INCREÍBLE

I jus wanna be like him fr Even if it’s impossible 😢 He’s more than good He is a god

Cruyff said he is amazing player and once he gets a bit mature on the games and understand when to pass and when to make run , he will win 6 to 7 ballon dors . These arent exact words but very influencing words

I hope we will see like this player after 15 years

there is nothing like prime messi, , messi is messi always

The ball control is unreal. Almost like there is a magnet on his feet to the ball

Es tan increíble que hasta el potrero rival se sentía regateado jajaj

It was never a debate

THE GREATEST PLAYER EVER❤💙👑🐐⚽️

This guy man he is gonna make me hit puberty, his dribbling and cutting 🥵🥵🥵🥵🥵🥵🥵🥵🥵🥶🥶

Why did they cut off the Bilbao goal from the Copa Del Ray Final 2015???

Messi 10/11, 11/12, 12/13, 14/15 and 18/19 are the 5 best individual seasons of this century, which means that Messi in his 5th best season was a better player than CR7 in his best season - that says it all

Prime Messi is how all players look on Fifa games with the ball glued to their feet 😅

The GOAT!

Sergio Busquets got the best assist

You need to re-edit this & let us savour the goals a bit. Also, huge props to Messi for not diving or embellishing when he could’ve multiple times.

Awesome

I think he's always on his prime til today...

It's incredible that some of the no - goals from messi are even better than the best ronaldo's goals

Messi is always in his prime lol

How can anyone compare this genius with a guy who spends his time in the box to make tap ins

The GOAT.

bro got beef with david villa xd

He must be called goat everyone and accept the fact because there are many with their prime last 1,2 maybe 3,4 years or even 5,6 year those are very few guys with highest level but his prime starting from 2009 to end 2019 can’t say end but maybe because of drop in stats and as well his strength power stamina agility but literally 11,12 year was his prime and his early year 2006,07,08 and ending year 20,21,22,23 wasn’t bad at all. This video clearly shows he gives so many moments to those football lover who watch football not only because of goal but so many aspects of the game

O Messi possuía um pouco menos de habilidades que o Ronaldinho Gaúcho aliada com a objetividade do Ronaldo Fenômeno e a capacidade de passar a bola pros companheiros na hora em que fazer isso era mais apropriado. Sem dúvida, o melhor jogador do mundo!

This was needed 😂😂😂

Why did you cut some of his best goals like the ones against Athletic Bilbao?

he was insanely brocken like wtf 😂

@barca tv do a video of messi compilation of body feint bro

THAT'S WHY HE'S THE GOAT, THE GOAT!

PS super power character like how we controlled to run fast & dribble

i love you bro

8:41 the moment barca won against rma in cdr quarters 2012

Petition that changing the angle 5 times in one clip makes it look baad not worse

after messii we havent watched a nice game from barca yet😕

Mario, Diego y Leo esa es la historia.

How the fuck can anyone watch this video and tell me that he is NOT the Greatest of All Time? How? Just look how he plays football man, he's not from this planet. It's madness, it's scary how good he is. 🔥🔥🔥

Nuestro 10 👊

Prime Messi was Unreal but prime Ronaldinho was complete different level.

G.O.A.T TEAM 💙❤ G.O.A.T PLAYER 🐐

messianante from the back

Messi is so good . Sometimes he dribbles himself also .😂

Prime messi??😂😂 Bro is always in his prime

Messi had had multiple primes. His “god peak” as I like to call it was 2010/2011, 2011/12, and 12/13. Let’s not forget that in 12/13 he was on pace to break every record he had set in 12 before the injury in April. This is the greatest prime of all time. 2015 and 2019 he was also in “god mode” and could debatably be put in then. Then, you have his “2nd prime” as I like to call it where he is still possibly the best player in history, which is 2009, 10, 14, 15, 19, and his last prime was 22 World Cup Messi
