Incredible Leonel Messi ☑️

Messi has been compared to compatriot Diego Maradona, due to their similar playing styles and stature, giving him a lower centre of gravity than most players, allowing him to be more agile with quicker changes of direction, helping him to evade tackles. His short stature and strong legs allow him to excel in short bursts of acceleration and his quick feet allow him to maintain control of the ball when dribbling at speed.[120] Former FC Barcelona manager Pep Guardiola once stated: "Messi is the only player who runs faster with the ball than without it." Like Maradona, Messi is a left-footed player. With the outside of his left foot, he usually starts dribbling runs, while he uses the inside of his foot to finish and provide passes and assists for his teammates.
