Football legends talk about Messi 🐐

I’ll tell my son to aspire to be like Cristiano. Cr7 is the peak of human ability. Messi is an alien. Messi’s ability is something hard work could never achieve.

zidane admitting that he himself saw 1 second ahead while messi sees 3 seconds ahead is insane. What other player in history could he possibly think that about....

What Messi does can’t be measured by statistics. It’s pure art. Simply the greatest of all time.

As the great Marco Van Basten said: "Cristiano is a great player, but those who say he is better than Messi don't know anything about football, or they say it in bad faith," Van Basten said to Italian daily Corriere

When Zidane said, I was one second ahead of the rest and you were 3 second ahead, the face of Messi brighten up! Messi is amazing through and through!!!

When Maldini says he was lucky Messi was injured, that says more than a lot

When R9 is mentioning how Messi dribbles and has the ball glued to his feet you know that any discussion is pointless, absolute Goat. I am Portuguese, never in my mind I saw Ronaldo as being better than Messi, but I have to say If you are good enough to give Messi a run for his money you are one of the best of all time :)

As a Brazilian fan for life, i must say that Brazil has produced some of the greatest footballers ever to have kicked a ball but... Messi - is undoubtedly the greatest to have graced a football pitch. Millions like me would consider ourselves blessed to be just near the man. What a player, what a player... words fail when you see him play.

When Ronaldinho and Ronaldo R9 are sure Messi is the GOAT , that sais something

No one even comes close to Messi, I really do think he's in a league of his own

it’s funny how the comments section just talks about talent. Yes. Without a doubt he is talented. However, you have to look at the amount of work and discipline necessary to reach and maintain such level. Even more so if you look at his lack of base qualities like height and strength. No one talks about his unmovable discipline or his work ethic. The fact that fame and money never got to his head. We never saw him dead drunk in clubs, with hookers and all the rest of it. I think first and foremost we should be in awe of his discipline which is on par with Cristiano. Just saying talent, like something was given to him without merit is an insult.

The 'goat' Messi is an alien ,the best in the history of football.Talented more than every player who has ever played soccer.

Talent is hard to find, greatness is spotted immediately. I remember not knowing who Messi was first time I saw him play. Took me less than a minute to understand he was something else

Great compilation of respect for Lionel Messi.

Eveyone has their own taste but, the package of brilliance messi shown regularly, in all aspect as an attacking player can't be replicated. Messi is one in lifetime genius. The simplicity with efficiency. The GOAT

If you ask Messi who is the best player of all time, he will name anyone else but never him. I believe Messi doesn't know how good he is. Must be normal at his planet 😂

What makes Zinedine Zidane even greater than he actually is (or was in the field) is his humility. Incredible!

Messi transcends mere humanity, embodying a standard of excellence that soars beyond reach in every aspect.

Messi is the epitome of talent-skill-success and HUMILITY…

Ronaldinho, R9, Zlatan, Maldini, Henry, Raúl, Zidane, Beckham, Gerrard, Lampard, Mourinho, Klopp and the list goes on and on. I am willing to bet, 80% of all football people picks Leo as the absolute best they've seen til now. For me and few others, Messi has been The GOAT since 2010. 2022 ended the debate for most. To play the game in such insanely high, "only Messi" levels for so long is madness. We just won't see another genius like him. Because he is The God of Football and it's beyond once a lifetime. Messi is probably once in all existence.
