That's actually a good point; messi does choke indeed against good quality teams with good defenses. Recently he was owned by Nesta and before by Zanetti.

If Messi wasnt playing for the best team, he would just be your above average player with a few dribbling tricks and entertaining goals up his sleeves. But he lacks the spark and leadership to achieve glory like the past greats.

This season we saw him miss when it matters most and score when it matters not; almost like ronaldo last season.

Thanks for highlighting this point out jibers. Sometimes the answer is just there infront of you but you're looking the other way.

I'm done with goal legacy, I can't deal with this shite anymore.

You are right.Baggio played amazing for his national team and for his clubs.Maradona, Ruud, Ronaldo Nazario etc. same.He has amazing teammates and he can't make anything on the football pitch.

messi did it more than 200 times but if you show me 5 moments i will say baggio was better at getting past players

And what if Messi dribbled more than 3 or 4 players once?They were shit...poor La Liga defenders maybe.Send Messi to Genoa and put him to dribble against Udinese's defenders.Send him in England and put him to score against Stoke, Norwich, Swansea, Everton etc. After 3 months in EPL his dream will be to play beachvolley.Micah Richards would eat him alive.

Messi's footballer career sucks from my point of view:
1.Compare Barca's fans who only know to applause like in theatres with Celtic Glasgow's fans.Compare them with B.Dortmund's fans, Napoli's, Juve's, Inter & Milan, Stoke, Man United, Bayern, Poli Timisoara & U Cluj ( :lol!: ) .
2.He couldn't make happy the Argentinian population because he did nothing for the national team.
3.I won't remember Messi, but i will remember Scholes, Pirlo....Seedorf etc.

So he will not feel what Lavezzi have already felt for example, what Grosso, Buffon, Cannavaro, Totti & Co felt in 2006, Cafu, Rivaldo, Ronaldo in 2002 etc.He won't feel that sound on the stadium that makes you feel stronger.He will always feel...nothing.

Compare Van Basten with Messi...compare Ibrahimovic with him.Messi tried to push away Lampard in the semifinals at Nou Camp and he pushed away himself :lol!: Many of you weren't born when Baggio was playing but you talk about him Smile

We have a winner. Messi will be forgotten right after his retirement as he never existed feeling empty and unfulfilling.
Sucks to be him really…

Many of us would have nothing with messi ... If many barca fans (who watch football from 2008) and television wouldn't consider him the best ever, the messiah, the greatest goalscorer in the history of the game, the only thing worthy of talking about, the best driblling, the greatest acceleration ever, best passer and wouldn't talk about how he cries when chelsea knocks him out, how he f*cks his wife, how he brushes his teeth, how he dances with Alves, how tall is he, how young is he...

Of course he scores many goals, cause all team plays for him, and like i said his opponents are very weak defenders..

put henry , assisted by pirlo and scholes on eredivisie and he'll score more than 70 goals...

No, pretty sober and a sober state of mind. It's just not a coherent post (to me). Although I can detect he/she is trying to diminish Messi's worth (which is silly to say the least), I fail to see what the stadiums of the respective clubs or the national team had to do with, well, anything really.

I'm not Barcelona supporter, Argentine fan boy or really care too much about Messi but I do hope he wins a World Cup or a Copa America just to put to rest this retarded argument.

by huntsman Wed May 09, 2012 8:01 pm

It is very rare for baggio to score by dribbling past one player only, most of his goals he dribbles past 2 to three players (including the goal keeper).

Do you guys know of a player who can score by overtaking the goal keeper every time he's one on one with the keeper? I dont think we can name a single player.

Who else scored from a corner kick?

The guy is out of this world and to think that he had 6 knee surgeries, the guy is a legend. Respect.

Calm down, it's better for everyone that you don't understand anything.Keep supporting Argentina because of Messi.. Thumbs up

Yet none of you answered to my question. Collect all baggio videos and show me just 5 moment where he gets past more than 2 players.

if you can not show then simply stfu. making 5-10 minutes video of a player's best moments in his career will make him look like GOAT for sure

by billionmillion Wed May 09, 2012 9:52 pm

Collecting best moments will not help. If you want to know truth then watch player's performance in a match. I will post both player's performance vs Juventus you decide who is more lethal player

Baggio vs Juventus

Child Messi vs Juventus

Conclusion: Baggio didnt get past a single player in full 90 minutes. he just passed it everytime he got it.
3:10 of the Baggio video clearly shows difference between Baggio and Messi. He gets the ball in free space, he is unmarked, instead of attacking juventus defence he passes it. Imagine what Messi would do in that position?
I dont blame Baggio, because he was not that type player (even maradona didnt attack defenses like messi does). youtube videos give you wrong informations

in other hand so called best italian defences cannavaro viera zebina nedved owned by messi and each got yellow (and none of them argued for that they accepted it)

Baggio was great player but saying he was better than messi is fail. Messi is way more efficient and lethal player

by juventus101 Thu May 10, 2012 3:37 am

Baggio used to regularly dribble 2 or 3 players. Sometimes even 4 or 5. If you think he didnt consistently do this and you try to prove your point by showing one game where he didnt run at defenders much, then im sorry, but you should stop debating, because you know NOTHING of Baggio. I just dont understand how youre trying to argue with me when i watched Baggio throughout most of his career and you are relying on Youtube. But btw, Baggio used to regularly beat multiple defenders, but did pass the ball alot too. Messi does too. Sometimes its more effective to make a defense splitting through ball. Either way, Baggio is better at both dribbling and creativity, among most other things.

by billy_gr Thu May 10, 2012 8:10 am

I like how anyone who rates messi is either a Barca fan or he’s been watching football since 2008.
Anyway, not much arguing can be made to rationalize with this thread.
You can even go as far as to say Delvechio is more proven or messi or something among those lines.
This thread has still room to improve
