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.

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.
