Long before Lionel Messi became football’s dominant force, there were games that hinted at what was coming and this was one of them. Still a teenager, Messi faced a Real Madrid side packed with experience, leadership, and defensive royalty. Roberto Carlos and Fabio Cannavaro were elite defenders, World Cup winners and symbols of footballing authority. But Messi showed no hesitation. From the first touches, Messi played with a freedom that ignored reputations. He repeatedly isolated Roberto Carlos, cutting inside, accelerating past him, and forcing Madrid’s defense to collapse around him. Ballon d'or winner Fabio Cannavaro stepped in to restore control. Messi faced both Cannavaro and Roberto Carlos at once, froze them with a single feint, and slipped past the pair in one sharp movement, leaving two of the best defenders in the world chasing shadows. In a later interview, Roberto Carlos admitted that during one of those moments he broke a finger trying to hold Messi back, a small but telling detail of how helpless the situation became. Messi stayed calm throughout, demanding the ball again and again, never speeding up, never forcing anything. Despite the Barcelona loss, Messi's performance had planted the idea firmly in the minds of those watching closely that Messi would be the best player in the world one day. A teenager had gone toe-to-toe with two of the greatest defenders of their generation and made them look uncomfortable. In hindsight, this was not an upset or an anomaly but an early warning of the player Lionel Messi was becoming. --- Chapters: 00:00 - Pregame 00:16 - 1st Half 00:24 - 1-0 - Raúl 01:18 - Messi vs Roberto Carlos 02:26 - Messi vs Roberto Carlos and Cannavaro 02:41 - Messi's souvenir to Roberto Carlos 06:34 - 2nd Half 07:22 - 2-0 - Van Nistelrooy 08:31 - Messi big chance 10:10 - Full Time & Messi Interview --- Subscribe if you enjoy the content!

Pelé was 17 years old in that 1958 World Cup final.

I am a Barcelona fan , but as a kid I grew up watching that mighty Real Madrid team from that era, having Zidane, R.Carlos, R9, Kaka and etc. It aways warms the heart hearing great players talk about other great players and what was it like to play against them.

Ronaldinho was so excited to let Messi loose even before the match got started. Saw how he was patting Messi's back repeatedly with a big ole grin on his face.

Yo creo que Messi es muy bueno. Pero ya Roberto Carlos ya estaba de bajada. Para mi no hay jugadores como Ronaldhiño Maradona y El Magico Gonsalez . Estos han sido genios y magos del futbol.


@@Franckie0582

Messi was pretty good in small spaces, fast and great ball control but we also have to say Fabio was not the youngest and neither Roberto Carlos who i'm sure was faster than prime messi and there's nothing wrong with that it's called aging

Emerson comete 2 faltas clarisimas de tarjeta, un pisoton que le dobla el pie (1:42) y una patada por debajo de la rodilla (6:12). increible que no lo expulsaran. incluso si en cualquiera de esas 2 hubiera sacado roja directa pues seria bien merecida, ambas faltas va con la intencion de hacer daño nunca de robar el balon.

If you pay attention, every time Messi has the ball, Robinho takes it from him with ease. It shows that when you play soccer with emotions, someone will make a fool out of you. Soccer is logical.
