Lionel Messi - King Of Football

▷ Lionel Messi - King Of Football ● Amazing Dribbling

With the departure of former captain Andrés Iniesta in May 2018, Messi was named the team's new captain for the following season. On 12 August 2018, he lifted his first title as Barcelona's captain, the Supercopa de España, following a 2–1 victory over Sevilla. On 19 August, Messi scored twice in helping Barcelona defeat Alavés 3–0 in their first La Liga match of the season, with his first goal, a free kick that he rolled under the jumping Alavés wall, making history in being Barcelona's 6000th goal in La Liga. On 18 September, Messi scored a hat-trick in a 4–0 home win over PSV Eindhoven in Barcelona's opening Champions League group stage match of the season, setting a new record for most hat-tricks in the competition, with eight. On 20 October, Messi scored and assisted in a 4–2 home win over Sevilla, but was later forced off in the 26th minute after falling awkwardly and injuring his right arm; tests later confirmed that he had fractured his radial bone, ruling him out for approximately three weeks. On 8 December, Messi scored two free kicks – his ninth and tenth goals from set pieces during the calendar year – in a 4–0 away win over Catalan Derby rivals Espanyol in La Liga; this was the first time ever that he had managed such a feat in the league. His first goal was also his 10th league goal of the season, making him the first player ever to reach double figures in La Liga for 13 consecutive seasons.

On 13 January 2019, Messi scored his 400th La Liga goal in his 435th league appearance in a 3–0 home win over Eibar, becoming the first player ever to manage this tally in just one of Europe's top five leagues. On 2 February, Messi scored twice in a 2–2 draw against Valencia, with his first goal coming from the penalty spot, his 50th La Liga penalty goal; as such, he became only the third player in La Liga history after Cristiano Ronaldo and Hugo Sánchez to score 50 penalties in the competition. Later that month, the club admitted they had begun preparations for Messi's future retirement. On 23 February, Messi scored the 50th hat-trick of his career and also provided an assist for Suárez, as he helped Barcelona come from behind to achieve a 4–2 away victory over Sevilla in La Liga; the goal was also his 650th career goal for club and country at senior level. On 16 April, Messi scored twice in a 3–0 home victory over Manchester United in the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals to give Barcelona a 4–0 aggregate win, which saw Barcelona progress to the semi-finals of the competition for the first time since 2015; these were also his first goals in the Champions League quarter-finals since 2013.

On 27 April, Messi came off the bench and scored the only goal in a 1–0 home win over Levante, which allowed Barcelona to clinch the league title; this was his 450th La Liga appearance, and his first league title as Barcelona's captain. On 1 May, Messi scored twice in a 3–0 home win over Liverpool in the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals; his second goal of the match, a 35-yard free kick, was the 600th senior club goal of his career, all of which had been scored with Barcelona. In the return leg six days later at Anfield, Barcelona suffered a 4–0 away defeat, which saw Liverpool advance to the final 4–3 on aggregate. On 19 May, in Barcelona's final La Liga match of the season, Messi scored twice in a 2–2 away draw against Eibar (his 49th and 50th goals of the season in all competitions), which saw him capture his sixth Pichichi Trophy as the league's top scorer, with 36 goals in 34 appearances; with six titles, he equalled Zarra as the player with the most top-scorer awards in La Liga. He also captured his sixth Golden Shoe award, and a record third consecutive award since the 2016–17 season. On 25 May, Messi scored his final goal of the season in a 2–1 defeat to Valencia in the 2019 Copa del Rey Final.

This guy understands what to show in a video. He understands football. If you notice we've all seen Messi's goals, we all know them by heart. People rarely show his plays, moments when defenders are terrified and struggling against him. There are so many of his brilliant dribbles just from open play. This is what I want to see. I want to see how afraid and unsettled they are when he comes towards them. His goals we all know. Finally someone understood the video i wanted to see. Thanks!

WHO IS HERE AFTER HE WON THE WORLD CUP???

[danielsan]

His 2019 highlights alone (just an example from a single year) would be more than enough to prove that Messi is the greatest of all time in every aspect of the game! What about his entire career? Simply the greatest genius that football has ever produced!

"This is Messi class, it is above world class"

[olgerd_og]

The fact that there is even a debate on who is the greatest footballer of all time just blows my mind... from the years 2009 to 2013 Leo Messi was in his absolute prime form, we can compare his consistency, longevity, career, achievements, commitment, finishing and attack positioning to Cristiano Ronaldo, we can compare his ability on the ball to Maradona, ability to pass and scan to Xavi, ball control and composure to Zidane, set pieces to Juninho, overall playmaking to Iniesta, close control to Ronaldinho, explosive change of pace to Pelé, his body feints to Ronaldo Nazario and his humble character to no one as he has a heart of pure gold. During his prime years (2008 - 2012) he had won 4 ballon d'ors in row (the hardest trophy to achieve in football as it reflects the best performing footballer throughout the calendar year) and before this the most ballon d'or awards anyone had achieved in their entire career was 3 (Marco Van Basten and Johan Cruyff) and this was before 1995 were it was only rewarded to European footballers making it easier to obtain so technically the most anyone was awarded was 2 (zidane and ronaldo). It was only at the age of 20 where Messi broke every LaLiga dribbling record and we must always remember that back then the most intense leagues were LaLiga and Serie A. According to Rijkaard and Guardiola managers and scouts used to ask them after the game what planet they found Messi on which doesn't surprise me at all as watching him in real life whilst he was in his prime would leave you with no other thought's. In 2006 whilst Messi was only a teen, Samuel Eto'o said Messi was so good that it was like someone was using a PlayStation controller. He got in a prime Barcelona squad over Ronaldinho, Henry and Eto as a teenager whilst they were all in their prime... between February 19th 2012 and February 13th 2013 he scored 100 goals and assisted 21 which means that he had 121 goal contributions in less than a calendar year and in only 68 games and he isnt even a striker... sadly the media have brainwashed the community into thinking that prime Cristiano is on prime Messis level and I hope one day people wake up and understand that 2010 jackie chan hair Messi was the most abnormal athlete in human history.

I been watching soccer since I was 9 years old, I'm almost 44, watched Maradona when he played for Naples, he was by far the best of his era, then other brilliant players showed up, but when Messi appeared he put soccer in a different level, level that will be hard for any one to reach.

[MARTINDECKS]

I'm a diehard Real Madrid fan. This guy has inflicted so much damage to my team over the years. But here i am, in 2024, watching this amazing video. Thats how much i miss him..thank you for the memories Leo
