This guy never takes credit and insult or downgrade other league... GOAT off and on the pitch.. Good example for your footballer
Exactly that's why we love him
Good exampl? He is a criminal tax cheat and he is on video slapping players, choking players, stepping on players, taunting managers, intimidating referees, doing multiple intentional handballs. People really eat up whatever the media tells them and have no brain.
The football skill n his humility of this man is just put him in very special place to peoples heart..
His attitude outside pitch is the best example for next generation, youngster, community to follow..
@@undertheglassmoon2239 You're lying or blind.
I only tuned into football during the World Cup, drawn by the dramatic spectacle on the field. However, my fascination truly ignited after witnessing the World Cup final between Argentina and France, which piqued my curiosity about Leo Messi. This event prompted me to delve into research about him, leading to a newfound and profound interest in the exhilarating sport of football. Witnessing his extraordinary skills and talents is a true privilege. Equally captivating is his unassuming personality, which irresistibly draws you in.
Man doesn't know that he is MESSI. That's how he talks and that's what makes him special.
❤
And Ronaldo thinks he's messi
@@sksksksksk7458he thought that in your dreams 😂
Messi fans are honestly mentally ill
@@sksksksksk7458I'm stealing that.
so humble, love Messi.
Messi is humble but he is on recorded video slapping players, choking players, stepping on players, taunting managers, intimidating referees, multiple intentional handballs(Argentine tradition); is a criminal that cheats on his taxes etc... the Messi protection racket has to stop
Soooo
Being humble and down to earth makes everyone love you, rather than being Arrogant and Egoistic
Okay kiddo
@@Sports590 Messi is not humble or down to Earth
Messi never boasts. Never judges people. Always Honest Humble and calm. How can people hate someone like that. Unlike someone else who keeps Boasting loudly
There that's the reason. The fact that you had to include that someone else to compare. That's makes both of their fans cringe. If you actually loved football, you would simply appreciate good player without being biased.
Note: I'm fan a of both player because I simply love football.
@@LiTggthank you bro either Messi or Ronaldo fans have to bring up the other. Like respect both 🫡
There’s a lot of players like him it’s just that he’s everyone’s favorite
Que mira bobo
Im a fan of both as players too, but as a human being, the camel boy is terrible@@LiTgg
The beauty of Messi is that he doesn't need to praise himself or his team instead the world does it & he just humbly smiles, What a great characteristic that everyone should learn👌
It's never good to praise someone that much, I'm sure Messi would even agree to that
@@adamgt4037 Self praising is more pathetic atleast he doesn't do that unlike some atheletes😅
@@mannered_brat don't make ur opinion like everyone self respect is most important some take it nice some don't.
@@Studytimeneet Self respect as the name suggests is an individual's respect in his/her own eyes and it is not something that should be said every now & then in front of a crowd😅
@@adamgt4037 He deserves. He's one of the wonders of the world. But yes, he's so modest it would embarrass him.
Very humble guy this Messi is.
Privilege to watch him.
9 goals in 6 games...
Best ever..
Humble lol
just wait till you see his 91 goals in 2012
The World Cup really took a lot of pressure off Messi's shoulder. It is evident off and on the pitch. he plays more freely now and he smiles a lot.
Messi is the greatest ever yet so humble. Liked how he is so optimistic about football in the US. Glad to see him happy again!
As someone who both loves football and is a proud American, I've been a huge supporter of MLS for a long time. I want my country to fall in love with the sport just as I did and embrace their local club. It's fun to watch clubs from overseas, but there's nothing like cheering for a club that represents your city. I know we can have a high quality league in this country and I will never stop cheering for its growth.
He was so sad n depressed unlimited money n family. Im so sorry he suffered for so long.
Messi might think it but we don't know because obviously he has to say that MLS has great potential
He is a beautiful guy, you can see when he is being interviewed. This is where you catch him in his purest form. 🐐
@ericbrown1101 I think this is the start of something great for mls guy, all it takes is a few stars to come over there - it increases revenue, and then attracts investors. When money is pumped into the league anything can happen.
But it's also the infrastructure of the youth teams and how they develop the young talent.
Hear his voice makes me so calm😘
He's so humble n good father.Speechless🤗
I'm just glad that he gets to enjoy himself. He looks like he's having a lot of fun out there. And I hope it continues to do so
we are taking excellent care of him! and his family
lol you probly illegal, don't take credit@@javidzcool You are not "we" or responsible for this
He is such a great example of not just otherworldly, generational talent, but also of humility, family values, and kindness. Leo Messi - truly the 🐐 sportsman!
Am I the only one who notices Messi seems to be the happiest he’s been with a team in a while?
It's so obvious and incredible to see. It's like he's a kid again, just playing the game for the love of it. I think it's kept his performance at an extremely high level, despite MLS's lower quality.
Lol "only one", the reporter literally said he has noticed as well. We can all see it, especially those of us who have been following since 2003. Good for him, and fantastic for us seeing him play here.
Yup, last time when he was in Barcelona.
@@zkringshis last 2 or 3 years in Barca he wasn't this happy to be honest
@@darydulcine1419 mmm true, barely, but being at PSG was the worst for him.
great to see him just enjoying himself on the pitch, no politics no bs just football.
So humble... And praising MLS teams... Wat a great guy...👍👍👍
I'm from Argentina and love to see you all talking about him like that, he's soooo humble and we treat him like God in our country. Also a lottt of argentines are watching the MLS too so keep making him happy and loved 🇺🇸❤🇦🇷
- he’s won the trophy that’s eluded his entire career
- gets to truly enjoy life with family
- gets to dominate in a league with his old pals (whether the league is strong or not)
- happiest he’s been at club level for a while now
If that isn’t a great way to end your illustrious career, then I don’t know what is. thank you messi for all the great memories and enjoy life outside of europe. GOAT 🐐
Messi's smile is so warm. It must erradiate happiness to all those nearby like an aura of joy, tranquility and peace.
Messi knows the USMNT exists. My life is complete.
Idol Messi good luck for the final , from Philippines
He is still the same Messi when he was 14 years. An example of pure heart.
Class act dude. Even though he knows MLS is nowhere close to the level of European soccer, he still doesn't downgrade the competition. But honestly, this is a walk in the park compared to what he's used to.
RONALDO IS STILL THE GOAT. Pessi gets carried by fifa. All corrupt, all scripted
He's been raising up his Inter Miami Team since he came..Building self confidence to his teammates...Amazing!!..The G.O.A.T...👍👍
MLS will never be the same again.
Not only the goat but such an amazing human been
being
It’s still so surreal we have one of the goats staying in our country truly an honor and blessing to watch him transform the game and culture here I love it!
It's the only goat bro ...
@@Tony-fg6hqnah
@@Tony-fg6hq nah there are too if you say only one your being immature about it, both of brought soo much to the table both have the pros and cons but both have changed the game forever and have created standards for generations
@@HanadAbdullahi-fw3icnope he is right, he the only goat in this sport but there are other goats from different sports
@@amurawskiob1850 both? who are you talking about?
How can someone hate this man❤
Real Madrid fans, Ronaldo fans, mexicans mostly 👉👌
Only hardcore right wing Franco, people supporting Real Madrid would hate him, because he kept them from winning la Liga titles
@@DonGivani Yes!
Wow! Such a gracious guy. No wonder he's getting so much love. While it's true that MLS and US club football still need development to reach parity with Premier League, La Liga, Serie A, Ligue 1, Bundesliga, etc. he's also correct in recognizing that the US Mens National Team is competitive on the global stage.
Messi is 4 years senior than me, I watched his whole career. Earlier he talked so little & I didn't see much of his interviews. I know he is humble, but after Copa & WC he gave multiple interviews. It's not just he is humble, he speaks truthfully & wisely. He never boasted about himself, never said he is the GOAT. I wanna watch more of his interviews ❤❤❤
The GOAT was too humble to say it, but the truth is MLS better use this opportunity to take the next step because he is here
THE GOAT SPEAKS
Great humility. Role model.
God bless Messi and his stay with inter Miami CF. Grant him greater success than he's ever had., Peace, love joy and health.
I love his vision for MLS, saying that it needs to take opportunities of important football tournaments and events coming into the country.
A happy Messi is really a joy in football. He'll do his best to reciprocate the love he receives from the people and fans by winning games. Unlike in Paris, he was disrespected by the toxic ultras.
Besides being an outlier athletically, he's also an outlier amongst the GOATs in all sports. When you think of the GOATs like Michael Jordan, Muhammad Ali, or Cristiano Ronaldo, you often imagine them having this large ego and sometimes comes off as arrogant. But Messi is always humble and he proves it all in the field, what a man.
this happen when you done nothing in ur life and see a same guy and comparing him with others just because he is humble i don't know about others i like ronaldo how still boost himself.
Do not associate Cristiano with such company. That's insulting.
What does GOAT mean? If Messi is GOAT surely Ronaldo doesn't belong in that sentence since by definition it makes no sense to say Messi is GOAT and so is Ronaldo when they play the same sport. Messi is a cut above Ronaldo, the comparison between the two has always been baffling
don't mention Ronaldo in the same breath as MJ or Ali
@@MeidoVegetasorry. I was mentioning him to diss him a bit. He's far from their achievements.
Great role model! He is by FAR the Greatest Player in History!
The GOAT deserves to be happy And Home
Neymar Ronaldo and others can have all the money they want in Saudi .but they can't get the love Messi's getting in USA . And how hes enjoying with his family . That's what matters the most when you have achieved everything .
Totally!!!!
Messi played in middle east during World Cup and he knew its not the best place for his family to enjoy
Oh no Ronaldo is crying so hard with his 200M/year salary cause @OnlyMisery doesn’t love him
@@Lonely_Ronin i was saying the love he's getting from the people of Miami ,not people around the world supporting for playing in USA .
Why don't you see any video of Ronaldo and his family on Saudi , Messi's wife and his kids attend every Mimai game , have you seen the same for Ronaldo ? No because she probably needs to wear a Burka and Hijab to even allow in the stadium .
@@OnlyMiseryNO… she is not there because she is the baby of her own children as Ronaldo said he paid her to take care of the children needs hahaha. Imagine how disgusting and down grading that was. He don’t treat or see his lady as a mother of his child but a nanny lol
Luis you’re the most luckiest fan ❤ You can talk directly to Messi.
It's always great to see someone whose given so much to their sport get the chance to enjoy their final years. Happy Messi found that for himself
Messi sumarized - GOD, Family, football! Everything else is a bonus!
He handled the question about the quality of mls wonderfully. He could’ve just said “no” but he danced around it as if he was dancing around a defender.
Very true, he talked about the nation team first and we all know the US team is good at recent WC. Then he moved to the growth of the league and confirm the breaking point as the upcoming important events of football. It is indeed an opportunity for MLS, for people managing and investing in football in the US!
@@quanthehiep I'm argentinian and I pay for Apple tv. Those sob did it good, huh?
And he spoke the truth. MLS has grown and improved, but there is still much work to do. Messi's decision to come represents a spectacular opportunity to accelerate that growth. It's up to the league and the USSF, those at the very top of the sport in this country, to make the fundamental changes necessary to seize that opportunity.
@@MGOFor3ver Estoy tentado a contratarlo para la final.. medio que me cansé que se caigan a cada rato y la calidad más baja en páginas pirata. Se puede ver online igual que en smart tv cierto??
MLS is already top 3 leagues in America's. Just behind Brazil and Argentina leagues
Even though two difficult years in Paris, Messi was still able to bring PSG to win the league twice, and brought the Argentine team to win the Finalissima and most importantly become World Champions.
The GOAT 🐐
@@GokuT24-pp3dwMessi and Neymar were the highest assists, Mbappe wasn't even close. Even the tap in master Haaland had more assists than him.. it was Mbappe who was being carried
@@GokuT24-pp3dw before Messi came they didn't win the league, after Messi came they won the league bro
@@aeroxyz5626What are you taking about PSG won the league 11 times in the last 13 years... Messi was there for two. Clearly you don't know football
@@GokuT24-pp3dw So incredibly not true. You didn't watch the games. The number of Messi's pinpoint passes that Mbappe missed. Messi was no. 1 footballer in Europe so in PSG with the most MOTMs, 14. Mbappe was 2nd with half that many MOTMs, 7. So who carried whom?
@@GokuT24-pp3dw He did.
The player in history of football
The best with 36 years old
How someone who achieved everything yet so humble❤❤ My inspiration 🙏🙏
Mine too.
Of all of the amazing things I have seen that man do, finding a way to be so complimentary of MLS and the USMNT is one of the most impressive.
He is really a genius footballer and the best in football history. I don't tired watching him all day long. He is real GOAT. Lots of love. ❤❤❤ God bless ❤❤❤❤
Thank you Leo for saying exactly what I've been saying about how important this moment is for the sport in this country. The next few years are critical for MLS and US Soccer to grow to where they need to be.
I was lucky enough to discover lio when he was 17. I always adored Bergkamp, zidane in his niche will always be untouchable to me, lpayers like machel laudrup, cruyff, best even xavi and hernandez guys who pulled the strings basketball equivalenet is like a point forward should you contain the gifts. I saw michale JOrdan several times I was from boston area and went 4 times there he remains only player with such skill, grace, and balance that like messi the most devoted fans of an incredible team like the celtics stared at jordan during wramups. It was people watching the star young highschool athlete thats orders of magnitude more amazing thana nyone else on court. I even flew to chicago to see his playoff games we all knew what we were seeing was once in lifetime.
Messi has all that exact same pull theres no need to argue with anyone about anything just watching him is priority he is magic. Phenomeno was magic as well shame he was injured. Lio brings a an entire new element in that hes not focise on any acccolades so hes never comlacent its about meshing that day and motivating and playing within system that entire team enjoys and performs. As thierry henry said and hes another as brilliant off field as on it that after his baraca matches end he couldnt believe it was full time he was enjoying match so thoroughly as though he was a youth its genius way to describe why they all thrived, There are talents before , during and after his career will be over but that enthusiasm and deep passion to play with purpose is even rarer than his limitless top tier talent. He easily became y favorite athlete ahead of michael, federer ,courtney dauwater phelps, jerry rice, ayrton senna still holds special place but point is messi is worldwide idol and thank god hes wonderful on and off pitch.
I’ve felt that Messi seemed much happier in Miami than in the last couple of years, he seems like he enjoys his football once again, his genuine joy is back. Now he confirms it 🎉❤
My GOAT ❤
I can die for messi
Messi is very humble
Happy to see Leo happy❤❤❤
When he speaks, I just want to listen!!!! ❤
finally the fan, met the man.
Down to earth ❤
He is the greatest football player of history of Mankind
If they got rid of the salary cap the MLS can definitely be a top 5 league.
No
More people is watching MLS than league 1. That's for sure 😂
Long way to go to catch the Brasil and Argentina leagues
@@MGOFor3verfact. And good! League 1 took a $ht on Messi and didn’t deserve him (or even Ronaldo for that matter).
Yeah, but IMO a league without rules on salary seems not fair. They just need to raise the cap
❤❤MESSI WE GONNA WIN THE FINALS VAMOS INTERMESSI😮😮😮🎉🎉🎉❤
Messi the only GOAT!
I love leo ❤❤❤
Que agradable persona Leo. Muchas Gracias!
The goat
PSG was a mistake , 2 years wasted . Now let him enjoy his life with his family , a brand new start . The GOAT .
PSG was terrible. But life is not always a bed of roses, even for the best. In fact, geniuses are almost always misunderstood.
I've worked with French speaking people and lived among them for a while. My advice: Don't
What a humble magician Messi
Luis Miguel deserve to be interview messing as he is biggest admirer of this GOAT
A Humble Man
Always humble ❤
Mi capitán, mi jugador favorito el único jugador de fútbol que te hace enamorar más de este deporte y el único que me hace sentarme en el sillón a ver un partido de fútbol lo demás me aburre, gracias Lio el día que ya no pides la cancha más te extrañaremos pero decirte que me has hecho súper feliz como a millones de personas en el mundo. Te deseamos lo mejor y que sigas disfrutando y ganando más títulos. 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Even if you're a Ronaldo fan, how can you dislike this guy? He's so humble, articulate and unselfish.
The greatest 🐐
Messi is so humble.
Such an amazing player too🐐
KING LEO, so goood to see Messi smiles while talking, he is happy in the U.S.😍🤩🥰
Messiiii!!!
Que grande Etchegaray haciendo la entrevista! (Y que grande Messi!)
notice how he talks about the usmnt. he did his research. i’m glad he’s happy here and can show us how happy messi scored
Messi ❤❤❤
All the best to Messi and his family ❤
@user-ym3kw5qh4c he is the tourism ambassador of Saudi Arabia and when he is planning not to renew his contract with psg and he has a advertisement that was postponed due to conflict of time and when he had the chance to go there he bring all his wife and child to experience and observe what would be their life if they will move to Saudi Arabia,he choose his family over a big offer I think that's what made up his mind not to pursue the Saudi Arabia deal in spite of big offer,because the fist time he make advertisement for Saudi Arabia tourism, he is the only one who travel there with his PA and manager, he didn't bring his wife and children
He is sooo good! Legendary 🐐!
Messi the 🐐
Messi great
I’m a CR7 fan. Die hard since I was 4. But I respect Messi 100000%. In my view there is no Messi without Ronaldo. Vice versa. Hero vs. Villain in many eyes. Both are tangible and tied together to 1 another. 2 GOATS 🐐🐐. I’m just happy we get to enjoy the last stage of their careers and for all the years they gave us. We will never see a duo like this in our generation again….
nope 1 is GOAT and 1 is Legend
There is no Messi without Ronaldo, that is where I knew you are a delusional penaldog just like the other penaldo fans.
@@user-ym3kw5qh4c disagree completely. Both goats. Plenty of legends like maradona, pele, Zidane etc. Ronaldo and Messi are on their own level.
Disagree, messi, pele, maradona are in their own level. CR7 is one level below
Both goats? Same tired old Ronaldo fanboy talking point. Ronaldo is YOUR goat, Messi is THE goat. End of the story.
Gotta love Messi. Brilliant
He was so polite saying MLS is not at European club level yet. I hope he's right that it will get stronger now that he's here
King of the king 👑👑👑👑👑👑💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑 lovely Messi...
❤MESSI HAPPY IS THE BEST THING EVER! WHAT A SMILE 😅😅😅😅
I love Miami & Chillingbourne. 💜💜
talented humble GOAT
It's interesting to see how Messi's gentle demeanor immediately calmed Luis' over-excited temper.
Love you soooooooooooo much leo ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Gracias Messi y Luis Miguel!!!
Well, that clears up a lot about PSG atmosphere situation.
He's genuinely happy and it's a win-win situation for everyone involved.
Calm as always. No over the top viral clip hunt when he speaks. He's still that kid from Rosario all those years ago.
We will never ever see someone like him on and off the pitch again. A God that never asked to be worshipped deserves worship if you ask me. And that's what he is.
Muchas gracias por todo Leo. I fkin love you.
💙❤
Low key called Paris a dump 😅
He managed to be very polite and tactful about MLS. He doesn’t believe in talking down. That’s why he was so pissed at Van Gaal after the NL WC match. Van Gaal talked so much smack before the game.
I subscribed your channel just for Leo❤❤
Great Messi 🐐⚽️🔥
Sos el uno Leo!!❤❤
Seeing Messi talk about about the USMNT is so cool
YES MORE MESSI INTERVIEWS, Spanish, French, German idc! We need more Messi interviews!
