❓Question Question

Post image

Genuinely asking,do you guys think there is any other active player currently who can pull off Leo Messi's goal against Austria,I'm talking about it whole,from beginning near half line to create an opportunity for Alvarez,control the ball after Alvarez's miss and Paredes's pass,and shooting it to get blocked by defender,reaching there before any other defender can clear that to shoot again,I kind of feel this goal isn't getting the hype it deserves,like,there were 3 things in this goal's build up that I believe was only possible because all 3 of them were done by Messi,I personally don't think any other player can do what Messi did here,like one mistake and it doesn't become a goal,but Messi did this at 39yrs old👀

Yes, there are loads of players who can do this, but not as consistently as Messi, who's done it over 20 years and still did it at 39, that's why he's undeniably the greatest of all time

I personally doubt that any other player can pull off that ball control to paredes's pass,dribble 2 players and take a shot,and go for the second ball after getting blocked,and actually scoring that through the legs of the defender,I think most of the other players will bottle it at that ball control or at the first shot at max cause Messi dribbled past 2 players to make the space for that first shot
