“How can I explain… he was very intimidating. Well, he still is, and I have a lot of respect for him. But I tried to tackle him many times. He stayed silent the whole match, but out of nowhere, you foul him, and he transforms—that’s when he starts dribbling.
He thinks much faster than everyone else because when I marked him, he would always escape. He’s very direct, the most direct player there is. He comes from the wing, enters the box with incredible speed, and with that hunger to score.
Messi doesn’t dribble to humiliate you; he dribbles to score, and that’s why he scores so many goals.”

Lionel scaloni : " When I was in Mallorca and played against Messi, I told him before the match, "Hey, Argentine boy, give me your shirt when the match is over." He smiled and said, "Hello, I'll give you the shirt, of course." The match ended and I looked at Messi and found my teammate Webo standing with Messi and Messi pointing at me. Webo left and Messi gave me his shirt and I told him, "Thank you for keeping the shirt." He said to me, "Your friend asked for it and I told him that you asked for it first." I went to the locker room and was surprised to see Webo holding Messi's shirt. I said to him, "Where did you get this shirt?" He said to me, "Messi told me when the match was over, this shirt was asked for by Scaloni first, but come to the locker room and I'll give you another one." I went and found him waiting for me and he gave me the shirt. Messi has been a humble player since he was young and this made him one of the best in the world and no one else has his talent " 0 reply

😳🇦🇷 "I met Messi when he was just 14 years old, upon his arrival at Barcelona. He was an introverted, shy kid who didn't talk to anyone. He just listened, learned. He was like a computer, a genius, as if he were Japanese.
Surprisingly, I talked a lot with him, and he told me many things. One day, his coach called me and said:
'What do you talk about with Messi? Here in the locker room, he doesn't say anything.' That's when I suspected he had some issue with his teammates. I had to call Ronaldinho to ask him to look after Messi both on and off the field. He said, 'Don't worry, I'll do it. He's fine but listen, this guy will be better than me, you know.' After that, Messi spoke to me and said, 'If I ever play for the national team, will you be with me?' And I replied, 'Of course I will.' Some time later, I was on vacation when my phone rang: it was Messi telling me he had been selected for Argentina to play against Hungary. I took a flight, went with him, and said, 'Leo, you're a bit of a strang… 0 reply

🇳🇱 |🎙️ Real Madrid & Netherlands football legends Arjen Robben said on Messi:
🗣️ "When Messi started playing football, he evolved a lot and increased the expectations of the spectators. He played super football after leaving Europe. Football declined a lot nowadays. Messi lead us to a dream & left European football competition with no successor of him." 🥺👏
Robben speaks on point. That's the reason why player with 24 goals & 13 assists won the FIFA Best award in 2024. In Messi's prime time, he never delivered less than 50+ goals & assists in a season.
Football quality really dropped & that's why we see the competition between players like Rodri & Vini for the Ballon d'Or. Just think about 2010s decade, when we had players like Messi, Ronaldo, Neymar, Suarez, Benzema, Xavi, Iniesta, Modric, Kroos, Pique, Ramos, Buffon, Neuer, Marcelo, Robben etc etc etc 😀😅 0 reply

Yaya Toure 🗣️: "In some years, Messi has deserved the Ballon d'Or. He did a lot but didn't win it, but the beautiful thing about this is that he doesn't criticize or make statements that it's unfair. Have you ever heard Messi say in his life that I'm the best? Messi doesn't consider himself the best, although he is undoubtedly the best, because whoever doesn't achieve anything with actions wants to communicate it with words in the media, and Messi speaks on the pitch and about what he has achieved, not on the page, and if you ask him now, who is the best? He won't say "me," and if you ask him why they mistreat you in the Ballon d'Or, he won't tell you that it's true because he is simply Messi" 0 reply
