@maxstephh This list stinks. Players like Iniesta, Zidane, R9 should be ahead of Cristiano since they have World Cups to their names and were MOTM in crucial games for both club and country. Can't say the same for Cristiano
@AlbicelesteTalk This is one of those games that makes it crystal clear why Messi is the GOAT. Not only he contributes by scoring great/clutch goals but he also doesn't simply stand in the penalty box, hoping for someone to feed him perfect crosses to score simple tap ins
@AlbicelesteTalk Bro casually dropping a masterclass at 37 when his team needed him the most. Probably one of the best comeback Messi has been involved in
@maxstephh Honestly if anyone saw this match and compare him with a robot whose contribution starts and ends in the penalty box is either delusional or being intentionally ignorant. Messi created 8 chances today and was all over the pitch and the way he pressed as well felt like young Messi
@ESPNFC Man some people's GOAT will stay in the penalty box entire 90 minutes but if you watched this game you'll know Messi was all over the pitch and created all the chances Miami has had. Its a one man carry job
@MuumiNipsu@CrewsMat10 Thankfully we watch football with our eyes. No one is denying that these are legends but no 17 y/o had this impact in football history. Period
@Trioinfootb@Utd_SZN_@cfctega_ Brother started watching football in 2025 and forgot his goals against Milan and that's only one of numerous. I'll never understand how people still prefer that 2 yard tap in poacher against a complete footballer like Leo 😢
@FutbolJan10 I honestly can't remember of a young player who's had such impact in a short period of time. His vision, passing, dribbling and awareness is truly out of this world
@cagiago_ People forget Luis Enrique's Barça won 4-0 at the Bernabeu with Messi injured. Neymar also peaked under him. Doesn't get the credit he deserves tbh
@adamjoseph@DeadlineDayLive He was literally City's best and most consistent player in the latter part of the treble season. He also made a huge impact against big teams like Arsenal, Bayern, Madrid so I'd say it's definitely a success
@FCBarcelona What's most impressive is that most coaches would crumble in a situation like this where most of your best players are injured but Flick never complained. He is always looking for solutions. That's what best coaches do
@Joshua_Ubeku @FabrizioRomano Messi's physical strength is underrated. Specially when you think that the likes of Ramos, Pepe and Carvalho tried to end his career with horror tackles many times
