Messi is anomaly in both ability and longevity.
Discipline and tenacity mixed with vision and genius.

Genes of a Roman general.

He had also the perfect body for his abilities. Short, yet stable with a low center of gravity that allowed him never to lose balance when running, fast turns and dribbling. I think many underestimate that is also a big reason for him to have been able to do all of this on the pitch. Lamine for example is tall and has a higher center of gravity, which makes it easier for the defenders to make him lose balance.

This!

People talk about Messi's height like it's a disadvantage. It's a huge advantage for his game! He has the perfect physical attributes for his role. Dribbling is a lot more difficult for taller people.

Messi's tiny but durable frame is perfect for dribbling and changing directions on a dime.

Messi, Ribery and Hazard have the best possible physique for pure dribbling.

What Messi was and wasnt good at has no relevance to Yamal.

The fact that Messi gets brought up says a lot about what arguments remain.

People should stop following every social media fece that gets thrown at them to provoke emotion and engagement. Just don't do it. You look like an NPC consoomer.
Nothing in that subbing off sequence against Levante is anything worth attention and mention. Just guy being pissed off at having subpar game and probably also at the sub itself, because it kinda put spotlight on it, even though it's in the fucking 87th minute.
Don't fucking let Xorus (twitter) get you.

Lol, Messi talks. First let's see him decide a CL final like Doue did. :lol:

Or score multiple goals in multiple semis and finals like Vinicius did. There's levels to this. He has players in his generation that he has to reach and compete with. Who cares about age really? Some players were great as teenagers and then disappeared later on. Wait and see.

All this, if he does this at 17-18, at 27 he's gonna be absolutely insane. It does not work like that at all most of the time.

What Messi talk?

PSG would switch him for Doue in an instant as would Real for Vini.

Lets see Vini or Doue take their intl team to a trophy.

Go moan about Raphinha who actually bitches about individual awards and moans more about being subbed.

Who cares about Raphinha? :lol:

He's near 30 and this is the best he's ever gonna be. Absolutely useless topic the place of Raphinha among the best players of a generation, ship has sailed.

For Yamal, there's a real possibility, if he's very careful, very focused, and listens to the right people around him. As I said, he's done nothing. Yeah, he had a surprise Euro he played great in as a kid, but so did Nico Williams.

You... its the whole reason you speak shite about Yamal.

Indeed Raphinha is near 30 and Yamal at 18 had better career.

From the lad who has backed some of the worst Barca players in recent years and argued at length how over rated Pedri and Yamal are.

Top stuff.

serghei · 2026-02-23T20:33:59+0000

There's no shite about Yamal. I consider him a very talented player who has to prove himself. Some already come up with excuses to protect him.

Oh, he's not a scorer. What? He should be a scorer, and it's an absolute must in his future development to be that player. Since when is a supposedly elite winger not a scorer? :lol:

JamDav1982 · 2026-02-23T20:34:13+0000

Go tell us again how much better Barca were against Betis due to Yamal not playing.

That ones a topper.

Gnidrologist · 2026-02-23T20:42:50+0000

You guys are so incredibly boring.

This is pure nonsense

Yamal was bullying Inter for more than 200 minutes in a CL semi final, with their best defender who is also one of best in the world saying Yamal is his best ever opponent... and coach also left in awe

Same team Doue scored scored a brace against. It's impressive and props to Doue but you put Yamal on that PSG team in that final and watch the performance he would drop

That's why this is a shallow way of looking at it. Yamal is not competing with either Doue or Vini. Has surpassed both long time ago (Doue was never even ahead of him)
