"Do you see what he's doing?" - Paul Pogba explains to IShowSpeed why Lionel Messi is different to everyone else
France midfielder Paul Pogba recently explained why Lionel Messi is different from other footballers in a recent interview with popular YouTuber IShowSpeed. He opined that despite the Argentine icon’s diminutive nature, he still dominates the game and mesmerizes opponents on the pitch.
In a video posted by @AlbicelesteTalk on X, Pogba tried to explain to IShowSpeed, who is a huge Cristiano Ronaldo follower, why some fans prefer Messi. He said:
“You love Cristiano, I love the style and everything….and some people love Messi because bro... do you see what he's doing? Messi is different, but I mean seriously....”
Pogba then explained how Messi dominates on the pitch despite his small stature. However, IShowSpeed seemed to remain adamant about his choice of Ronaldo being a better player than his Argentine rival.
The clip ended with the YouTuber asking the former Manchester United midfielder if Messi had ever scored a goal from over 40 yards out. Pogba explained that the Inter Miami ace style of play is different from that of Ronaldo.
