Ultimatebov Posted July 7 #1 Posted July 7 No matter which team you support, it's hard not to admire what Lionel Messi has achieved in football. From his incredible dribbling and vision to his ability to deliver in the biggest moments, he has given fans countless memories over the years.
Hollowni Posted July 11 #3 Posted July 11 I still remember watching him nutmeg a defender so smoothly during a World Cup qualifieer that my dad spilled his coffee celebrating.
tycenne Posted July 11 #4 Posted July 11 The way he just glides past plaeyrs without even looking like he's sprinting always gets me, it's almost unfair.
steintia Posted July 11 #5 Posted July 11 I mean sure his touch is unreal but I always felt people overlook how much the system at Barcelona was tailored to hide his lack of defensive workrate, you stick him in a struggling team and he'd probably still shine but not to that godlike level some claim.
Steinnda Posted July 11 #6 Posted July 11 ronaldo’s longevity edges it for me even if messi’s peak was art.
LuckyPixel21 Posted July 11 #7 Posted July 11 Absolutely! Messi's skills and that kind of magic on the field are truly something special. It's gonna be tough seeing anyone else come close to his legacy!
steinvi Posted July 11 #9 Posted July 11 Do you reckon his dribbling is what makes people remember him the most or is it more about those clutch goals in finals for you? I feel like the mix is what truly made him unique compared to other greats honestly.
larsvar8 Posted July 11 #11 Posted July 11 I get the admiration but I think people romanticize his big game moments a bit too much, he had quite a few quiet finals where the team bailed him out.
clotyn Posted July 11 #12 Posted July 11 I still remember watching him weave through half of Bilbao's team in that Copa del Rey final solo goal, was genuinely jaw dropping stuff that no replay ever fully captures. Most players would have lost the ball three times during that run but he just glided past them like it was nothing.
