Most Strikers sprint away from defenders. Messi just runs towards a bunch of defenders to dribble past them. *Because he can.* Legend.

I will never get tired/bored of watching Messi's dribbling compilation

[Theseus.]

Messi's ball control is like a symphony conducted by a master musician. Every touch, every movement of the ball is a note, played with perfect timing and precision. The ball seems to dance at his feet, moving effortlessly in sync with his every thought and intention. It's as if Messi and the ball are one entity, gliding across the pitch like a bird in flight.

His control is like a magician's sleight of hand, with the ball disappearing and reappearing in the blink of an eye. Defenders are left dizzy and disoriented, unable to keep up with his mesmerizing display of skill. Messi's control is like a painter's brushstroke, creating a masterpiece with every touch of the ball. He weaves through defenders like a thread through a needle, leaving a trail of astonished onlookers in his wake.

In Messi's hands, the ball becomes a living, breathing thing, pulsing with energy and vitality. It's as if he has tamed a wild animal, harnessing its power and grace to do his bidding. His ball control is a force of nature, like a raging storm that sweeps across the pitch, leaving destruction in its wake. But at the same time, it is a thing of beauty, like a rainbow after the storm, dazzling in its colors and radiance.

In short, Messi's ball control is a thing of wonder, a rare and precious gift that he has honed and refined to perfection. It is a testament to his skill, determination, and sheer talent, and it will be remembered long after he has hung up his boots.

It's not just the control of the ball but the movement of his body with it. It's just incredible..

Many fail to appreciate how this guy just reads your mind, and uses it against you.This genius understands the human body and knows it's limits. How he touches the ball close to your feet then knows the defenders's gonna try get to it and he just touches it, slitest of touch past you.Magical little man!🙌Or I'm I just over thinking things here🤔🤔

Messi is the greatest football player...ever. I feel lucky to be alive to witness it with my own eyes.

[gamechanger]

Incomparable ... 200 hours with the ball, and you wouldn't spot a single scratch on it. Shining sensei

[why.soooserious]

You're Lucky for witnessing the goat on his pride .. Because the next generation will watch him only on YouTube

[deadastrophysicist]

When it comes to dribbling messi is literally the GOD of it. No one comes close to him... Utmost respect for little magician

I have no words. Messi is a phenomenon, that’s all there is to it. You see what he does with your own eyes, and you still can’t believe it. I would like to see an interview with other players who have come up against him and hear what they have to say. It reminds me of trying to run and catch a mouse. You just can’t keep up with all of the darting and scrambling. Wow.

[safwanontzagwek]

Simply amazing. Satisfaction of football. Perfection and Intelligent. An Alien. One of the GOAT.

My impression is that Messi can handle 4 defenders on average. The epic goal against Getafe involves 5 defenders, only 1 more than the average level. It is epic because these 5 defenders happen to spread across half field, making Messi's goal look so magnificent. In other words, if defenders are not so spatially concentrated (as in other cases), the epic goal against Getafe can be repeated many times by Messi.

7:00 was absolutely nuts. (Coming from a diehard Ronaldo fan)

[kapilkandari]

this man makes football look so easy❤️

[fuzzupuzzu]

what a video man.... far out.... how can anyone say anything negative about this man is crazy... we are witnessing the greatest ever to grace the game... he is the beauty of football... the greatest artist football has ever seen

[ordinaryguy]

At 07:10 thats the most insanely fast cut-dribble Ive ever seen. And he does it with the right foot, unbelievable

[skinnygumbo]

5 defenders (half of the team) can't stop Messi. Unreal!


Messi does very simple feints, body feint+cut inside+cut outside+fake shoot, but he does them at a very high speed and in a perfect coordination. Not only his foot, but also his brain is very fast.

[Sportsmaniacism]

God's gift turned into magic with hardwork,
You don't see him moving you just see the ball moving, unstoppable master leo.

[mounadoo]

I have watched hundreds of Messi compilations. This is one of the best I have ever seen. Choice of soundtrack 5/5, choice of clips 5/5, audio editing 5/5, video editing 5/5. Impeccable work, LeoIIV!!

[LeoIIV]

1 million people have clicked on this video to witness sheer grace and elegance from the best player of all time. Truly thankful for the support and I'm glad I could show the appreciation I have towards Lionel Messi.
