Many people today don't know how active Messi was on the pitch before his hamstring injuries in 2013. His defending and pressing were great for an offensive player

Messi rarely gets his defensive skills brought up. He defends like a secretary bird, stomping out the snake.

When messi started to "walk" on the pitch was after his hamstring injury in 2013, even in the bayern game you see he was not the same dominant all action player he was taking the ball from defense, he still could do it after 2013, but i think he was advised not to by his team and coaches, after he suffered another injury in 2015-16 where neymar had to be carrying, he just stopped completely with his defensive side of football and only press players directly in front of him, honestly i don't blame messi because he achieved a lot afterwards.

People forget man
They’ve completely forgotten the seasons he won back to back 3 Ballon D’ors
Literally was hailed as the GOAT at age 23.
People also forgot how he combined with Dani or Insiesta Xavi trio or MSN. Or how he carried a crumbling Barca on his back and made it seem like they were invincible when it was only just him

When I first seen Messi play with the sub 16 of Argentina even after he only played the last 5 minutes he was already the best I had seen.

Most Dribblers usually know how to defend cause they understand what the attackers may do or wants to do ...
