Peep the GOAT everybody. 10 years ago to the date, 19 year old Leo Messi scored a fucking bomb ass goal. This goal is undoubtebly a top 5 goal ever. It is just so similar to Diego Maradona’s goal of the century that it cannot be left out as nothing short of Jesus Christ himself coming back to life. The fact that a little 5 foot 7, 150 pound boy went from half court all the way to the GK box, all the while crossing over 7 players, on the way to a perfect chip of a goal is unbelievable. It is why Messi is the GOAT. He was always destined for greatness. If you told me, “that 19 year old will one day become the Greatest of All Time,” there would no hesitation to say, “Yeah I can see that.” He was, and still is, just so phenomenal.
It was his 3rd year in the Premier Barcelona team. At his young age he was already playing alongside, Ronaldinho, Eto’o, Puyol, Deco, Giovanni Van Bronckhurst, and CO. Though that Barcelona team won just 1 trophy that season, it would be just the beginning of a historic career. Just three years later, Messi and Barcelona would win the first ever Spanish Treble, alongside a Ballon d’Or, and only 11 other individual awards.
Messi is indeed the GOAT, and anyone that refuses it is just plain stupid. He’s won every title possible with the exception of International Championships. And even then, he’s won a under-20 World Cup, and an Olympic Silver Medal. All the while reaching the World Cup final, and Copa America Final multiple times. We’ll see if he can continue his living legend status by completing another unlikely comeback.
