'I'd never seen anything like Lionel Messi' - Fabregas relives rare clips from Barca academy | MESSI

[fishfingers]

This is the greatest player to ever play this sport and he goes by the name of

Lionel Messi 🇦🇷

[denispoli]

And Yesterday he was crowned with a world cup...I'm Brazilian and was supporting Argentina, that's Magical Messi!

[canonogic]

By far the greatest player of all time

[paulwelsh]

Fabregas, Henry, guardiola, all agree that Messi was on different level playing football . We have to take note of these that have seen in close proximity the talent before our eyes.

I actually enjoying seeing videos of Messi's youths just as much, if not more, than his professional days' videos. We normally see geniuses or once-in-a-generation talent when they get to professional age but rarely do we get to see those people when they're young so these videos are priceless. It's also amusing to see young boys or girls doing things that make our jaws drop ... to the floor, as Fabregas said.

Cesc Fàbregas is a legend. One of the greatest at midfield. I miss watching him on the field.

"the speed was not normal"❤😂

[shifaskm]

This genius is merged three to one
Greatest goal scorer
Greatest playmaker
Greatest dribbler
🐐

[mrfacts]

The greatest most complete player ever the goat 🐐

[lostella]

I think i know what he meant by, 'they had to foul him so hard', Messi had such balance n speed that he could ride a normal foul n keep going. The only way to stop him was kick him n kick him hard, then that rarely worked either because he just got mad 🤣🤣

[aleemahsan]

Genius Genius and Genius. Least words to describe him

[abinetpaulos]

Just the greatest ever to play football!!!

[transkriptsioon]

Cesc is a class act, showing/telling others, that simply talent is not the solution - "you have to be mentally very strong and the persons around you "we were good kids as well" develops you!
But even putting that aside, Leo is just GOAT, doing GOAT things!

[trobinson]

He's a gift from the football Gods greatest the world has ever seen.

[aliaraye]

I saw Messi the first time in 2005 against Chelsea (Del herno red card) and I automatically felt he was special. He went off injured in the 2nd leg at the 17th minute and I was very disappointed. He’s by far the greatest and most talented football player I have seen.

[sfexplus]

when they talk about messi they talk about him like they just seen a ghost. He is the GOAT

[ibrahimnoyon]

Greatest Footballer and Greatest Playmaker Of All Time. 🇦🇷 Lionel Andres Messi 👑👑👑

[ANANTHU]

He's the best skillster world cup winner greatest player ever 👏 🙌 💙 ❤️ 👌

[iamderah]

That’s what Makes him a Monster. Ronaldo was the one-eyed man leading blind men/mediocres in Portugal.. Messi was a king ruling other kings in Barcelona. Monster mentality.

[deepakravi]

You people are so lucky...You have witnessed the god growing as a complete player from his childhood to adolescent....from weak to strong.... From human to an alien....
