How GOOD Was PRIME Messi?!

Prime messi or prime ronaldo?

Maturity is when you realise messi doesn't have a prime

For those of you who don't have a frame of reference about how crazy 91 goals in one calendar year is: previous season, Haaland and Mbappe scored 102 goals combined 😂

Messi from 2008/09 to2014/15 season was the best player in football history . 🐐

2019 Messi is the most unreal player I have ever watched, he is arguably his most complete that year

I used to be recommended “Messi highlights this season” and it would still be him in his prime. Now its “how good was messi in his prime”. I want time to stop asap before my goat retires 😭😭😭

Lionel Messi Every year goals and assist (2005) 03 Goals - 04 Assist (2006) 12 Goals - 03 Assist (2007) 31 Goals - 12 Assist (2008) 22 Goals - 18 Assist (2009) 41 Goals - 15 Assist (2010) 60 Goals - 17 Assist (2011) 59 Goals - 37 Assist (2012) 91 Goals - 22 Assist (2013) 45 Goals - 16 Assist (2014) 58 Goals - 21 Assist (2015) 52 Goals - 26 Assist (2016) 59 Goals - 31 Assist (2017) 54 Goals - 16 Assist (2018) 51 Goals - 26 Assist (2019) 50 Goals - 18 Assist (2020) 27 Goals - 19 Assist (2021) 43 Goals - 18 Assist (2022) 35 Goals - 30 Assist (2023) 28 Goals - 12 Assist (2024) 11 Goals - 06 Assist

Messi doesn't have any prime. Messi is the PRIME ❤

He was unplayable, a cheat code, freak of nature, slippery as an eel, a jolt of electricity, his IQ, his positioning which I think is underrated, the 1-2 passes that were had to intercept, he could make a bad passer seem like a good assist provider, his fearlessness to take on anybody, he was the one running up to defenders and you'd see defenders shaking at their knees when they saw him coming. Boy! was he awesome.

Before watching: Imo prime Messi was injured in 2013 and 2015 is the most complete version of him. 2012 was obviously his statistical highlight but 2015 Messi could have won CL with about every team

There is nothing like prime Messi, if there’s Messi he is just simply Messi 🙌

Messi has like 3 or 4 different primes, all different from each other but each spectacular. The undeniable GOAT of football

The 2010/11 Messi with the orange shoes was on a level of his own, nobody touched that level, the carnage and havic he cost too whole defenses was a beautiful thing to watch, his dribbling was elusive and unstoppable, yet it wasn't his most complete version, but it certainly was his most feared and most unstoppable version

Prime Messi was 2017-2020. He was not only scoring but also dictating and playmaking. I remember La Liga stats every season had Messi at the top of the lists. The only stats he didn't top were defensive stats

Which prime are we talking about? He was crucial from 2009 all the way up to right now. That's how insanely great Leo is. The guy evolves and ages like fine wine in his career. Consistently improving his football quality and maintaining it at a level only he himself can touch. That's why he is The God of Football

You need to ask the question how good Messi was when he was angry. Thats the scariest Messi

messi will forever be the best, the greatest to ever touch a football in the universe, if the fact that he has the most ballon d'ors and a world cup, and he has also scored 91 goals in a calendar year. If this doesnt convince you he is the greatest on plant Earth then you might wanna rethink of the choices you made in your life

Nah can’t messi knew he was destined to be the best, but he’s humble about it. His dream was to win the World Cup and he did.
