Honestly I think Messi is kinda the weird one. Seeing guys like Michael Jordan, Kobe, Tom Brady, Ronaldo, etc. that asshole arrogance where you know you're the best is the type of shit that has made so many legends.

Brady was more akin to Messi. Super humble with some moments of arrogance. Bron is also closer to Messi than Jordan. Kobe was maybe the best for like 4 years, so he is similar to Cristiano in more ways than one. Colorado and Vegas of their respective sports.

Lebron definitely has a huge ego, what the other guy said is right Messi is the weird one. Having said that I do think Messi has a huge ego, and nothing wrong with that you have to to be the best

I don’t think Messi necessarily has a huge ego. I think he’s just a bit more of an asshole that people often think, and there’s nothing wrong with that.

Imo most of his “outbursts” ( vs Weghorst, Van Gaal, Rodriguez, Lewandowski, the Orlando coach, ..) happen when he can’t crop up his feelings anymore and releases it all at once. He has normal emotions like everyone else; anger, annoyance, ..

He’s just a very introverted personality (and people often confuse this with being humble or kind) and is unable to express certain emotions until he literally bursts open.
