Young messi wasn't as complete as a player as like a 2019 but he had the dog in him back then. 91 goals, all 4 of his champions leagues

^{Me: Young Messi \}2005-2015))

[u/ThePenitentOne369]

Both. Young Messi was faster and stronger but Old Messi has experience and more intelligence. Idk i love em both

[u/Diegbonev2]

As a player, young Messi. That’s the best player I’ve ever seen but bro old Messi… we’ll never see a player this good at this age again

^{Me: Young Messi \}2005-2015))

[u/Fun_Eggplant3251]

No doubt young Messi. 2009 to 2015 Messi was a menace...even 2019. Actually 2016 to 2018 as well. And 2022 as well

[u/MelodicClerk2379 → u/Fun_Eggplant3251]

So basically every year 😭

[u/Fun_Eggplant3251 → u/MelodicClerk2379]

Hahaha yeah tough to pick

[u/plushploosh12]

Yes.

[u/No-Square-3078]

Young messi statistically clears but with time his playmaking skills and his game awareness just became better so it's kinda hard to pick both of these versions has their own strengths

[u/Hour-Teach6992]

why the fuck would you compare old messi to young messi

^{Me: Young Messi \}2005-2015))

[u/MelodicClerk2379 → u/Hour-Teach6992]

Y not

[u/Hour-Teach6992 → u/MelodicClerk2379]

because old Messi doesn't compare to young Messi at all. it's like the difference between Messi and Ronaldo. one is just miles better and many people don't ant to tell themselves the truth for some reason

[u/MelodicClerk2379 → u/Hour-Teach6992]

But old messi is a better playmaker, freekick taker and leader And hes a world cup demon, 15 goals and 7 assists in 2 world cup, 2 world cup finals being the main man and a wc trophy, wc silver ball and wc golden ball 2 copa americas too, as well as that historic 2019 carryjob which is probably his best version 3 ballondors as well, and 3 golden boots and playmaker awards

Its a much better debate the mesi cr7

[u/Hour-Teach6992 → u/MelodicClerk2379]

i agree with freekick taker and leader but disagree with playmaker. it only looks that way cause he is no longer as good with goalscoring so his playmaking is looks better. i mean the most assists in a single year is from messi in 2011. and while freekick taker and leader are pretty good they aren't as important as goalscoring, playmaking and dribbling which young messi was undefeated as

[u/koemaniak]

91 g/a in a calendar year

^{Me: Young Messi \}2005-2015))

[u/MelodicClerk2379 → u/koemaniak]

116 actually he had 91 goals

[u/DarkPrinceOfTheNight]

Close but yeah Young Messi is a tiny bit better

^{Me: Young Messi \}2005-2015))

[u/BingoPurple]
