8 Times Footballers Copied Messi's Iconic Plays

[Music] lonel Messi is getting stocked everywhere teammates copying his moves hairstyles and opponents copying his most iconic hairstyles yeah these are the eight footballers who copied lonel Messi and first up Jude Bellingham stole a goal move off Messi and turned it into one of the most iconic celebrations in the game Jude Bellingham is the hottest thing in football man literally skills banging goals dropping assist and that inch perfect hairline the dude can't do anything wrong back when he was still at Dormont Bellingham got asked to give his opinion on the goat debate and he didn't

even waste time dude pick Messi straight up but you see bellingham's love for Leo doesn't just stop at picking him in the goat debate no he took a move off him and turned it into a trademark in 2018 Messi dropped another classic performance at Real Madrid's bernabo stadium and right after scoring his team second he dropped this pitcher perfect goal celebration all cameras up Bellingham must have seen this and loved it man because ever since then well yeah it's the belly goal now but he took it off Messi guess it's just fan love from another

player and I fig Messi would be used to it by now because it ain't just Fanboy stealing goal moves off him his best friend is in on the action too Messi and Sergio Aguero go way back they've been buddies since they came on to the scene at the 2005 under 20 World Cup and I've been close ever since in fact they're so close that after aguo got married to maradona's daughter he named Messi and his son Benjamin's Godfather the relationship is tight man and in 2021 for the first time at Club level they should have

been teammates see aguo had decided that he wasn't going to renew his contract at Man City when it ran out and after agreeing a free move to Barca he was set to become teammates with Messi but just days before his arrival Messi had to leave Barca and move to PSG these days aguero's now retired and Messi's in Miami Miami but that didn't stop aguo from showing us a sneak peek of what could have been playing in Gerard peak's Kings league right after scoring for his team aguo wanted to celebrate lowkey at first but seconds later

he popped up with Messi's most controversial goal move kiras bble yeah Messi pulled this one at the World Cup last year after he trolled the Netherlands coach Lis vanal for dissing his Idol years back aquto and mess he got that chemistry going man Gonzalo igain tried to copy the same thing too but unfortunately it didn't last man and ended up going wrong iguan and Messi used to be teammates for Argentina but unlike Messi iguin isn't exactly the most famous dude in Argentina and that's because yikes still off the pitch igain had been having eating issues

he just couldn't stay off the Thursday specials at KFC pretty soon igain realized that if he didn't cut his diet he was going to become overweight and lose his place in the team so he decided to hire some Pro advice to turn his career around just like igain in the early days Messi had eating problems too and was so addicted to junk food that he was throwing up before matches yeah Messi knew he had to fix this so he hired an expert dietician called such fii and this dude helped Messi cut off that junk food

put him on a veggie diet and the result was Messi turning into a beast igain decided to copy this and hired fi too and at the beginning the results were just like Messi's too because in 20156 igain finished the CI a season with 36 goals and 35 games breaking a 90-year goal scoring record but but unfortunately for Higuain he just couldn't keep it up man that summer he went on another junk food run again and after signing for Juventus in a club record 90 million deal on his first preseason game for his new club eain

just couldn't hide it in man dude looks like my teacher from eighth grade it's not just the stuff he eats Ballers are copying even his most famous drink too he's got opponents rolling up to Arena trying to pull a Messi yeah if I'm being honest Messi may bring in the South American drink monate to Arenas become a thing in the game it became so cool his teammates like Suarez started copying it too and it spread like crazy that even his opponents are doing the same thing Antoine Griezmann doesn't hide the fact that he's a huge

messy fan the guys admitted it in the past Griezmann is so in love with Messi that after he saw him coming to games with Monte in hand Grizzy wanted that same energy don't know if it's just me man but Grizzy looks like a hobo now despite having the mate in hand griezman unfortunately couldn't replicate the same messy Vibes at Barca and after 2 years he's now back at Atletico Madrid and he's balling hold on a minute I'm starting to see a trend here man Messi's got his teammates silently trying to look like him I mean

one he even went as far as copying his hairstyle Neymar when Neymar arrived at barca in 2013 everyone thought he was going to be the next thing when Messi eventually left because he was that good all through his career at Barca Neymar acted like Messi's understudy man learning the trade off the goat and pretty soon he started Making Waves by himself in 2017 Messi shocked the World by doing something he' never done before and Neymar copied the same thing see when it comes to Fashion Leo's a bit reserved now that doesn't mean he can't pull

up to an arena looking Super Fly but most times he prefers being chilled keeping the same face and usual hairstyle but at the start of 201617 Messi started the season looking unrecognizable the be is one thing but going blonde was crazy the look sparked a lot of comments online and I'm guessing Neymar wanted the same attention because weeks later yep blonde sadly the new look didn't translate to new Vibes on the pitch Barca didn't win the league and got knocked out of the Champions League in the quarterfinals copying goal moves eating habits and hairstyles you

think you've seen it all with these guys but this next dude is copying Messi's name now Madrid and Barca don't mix facts but back when he was still at Malaga EO was one of the hottest Kids on the Block so when he got asked about the goat debate between Messi and Ronaldo his answer was so stunning it shocked everyone I named my dog Messi because Messi is the best in the world man imagine going to dinner at ull's house and hearing him call Messi to get the door that love is insane but it's messy so

it's excusable just like it is for his former teammate to steal his most iconic celebration and I'm pretty sure everyone knows why when he first burst onto the scene Ricky Pooch was the most exciting young Talent at Barca I won't lie I spent hours watching his comps at the club and every time he scored seeing his teammates celebrating with him was beautiful stuff but unfortunately for po barca's head coach at the time Ronaldo Coman didn't believe in him that much and Pooch got sold to LA Galaxy in the MLS instead of letting this get to

him Pooch used the move as an opportunity to advance his career and he's so good now that he's dropping Banger goals and goat celebrations did a messy with the dribble and did the messy with the celebration if Leo saw that I bet he'd have been proud see guys Pooch ain't the first dude to copy this Epic messy celebration but he is a former teammate so I guess it's allowed but when his greatest rival did the same thing it sparked an online war in 2017 Barcelona and Real Madrid played out one of the greatest El classicos

of all time coming into the final minutes of the game the score was 22 when barcel launched an attack and right after Sergio Roberto pulled that cross back to Messi the whole stadium knew what was coming next the goal was clutch but that celebration was cold on social media it was spreading like wildfire and the Ops were using it to troll Messi's greatest rival Cristiano Ronaldo looking at it now the move must have gotten to Ronaldo man because the next time these two faced off Ronaldo was determined to get his own back at Leo and

after coming off the bench to hit Top bins at the no Camp his teammate Marcelo made sure to remind him not to forget and Ronaldo pulled a Messi same Vibes and Ronaldo used it to win the Super cup can't lie it's impossible for me to hate on these two I mean they both subscribed to our Channel man can't be that
