Gotta love how Varane towers over Messi
Carvaljal sucks varane and ramos will be the ones to shut down messi and neywar
I think Carvajal can be great but I hate how much he attacks. he is like a Marcelo 2.0. I prefer Coentrao over marcelo simply because he defends more.
it wasnt really that He IS faster, its just that Varane had to run in a straight line to catch up while Messi had to go in a Slight Angle. not only that the ball didnt go Directly to Messi, it slowed down right as it got to him.
Messi was at a bit of an angle varane was running straight lines but its a new french 19 year old vs the best its still impressive but messi is also shorter therefore shorter legs so shorter strides vs varane the taller defender so longer legs and longer strides in the future varane will be the best defense in the world
EA SUCKS Varane have 68 FUCKING PACE Fuck you EA
nope
phil jones
are you trying to be funny you made yourself look like a fucking idiot WHO IS MESSI do you know who maradona is you idiot and im pretty sure varane has one of the brightest futures out of any defenders there are
Damn he looks huge compared to Messi lol
Look at their body positions though, they are completely different. The pass wasn't very well executed either. I don't think varane is actually faster than Messi, but he anticipated the pass very well and dealt with it comfortably. Still very early to tell for me whether he will be one of the best or not. I'd suggest you lot pipe down a bit, but that's not going to happen, is it?
messi is faster than varane but varane read that ball perfectly and messi is a midget compared to him so regardless if messi went for the ball he would have been easily shoved off of it which is why he didnt go his full pace
Varane looks gigantic next to Messi!
2 idiots, still counting.
omg the size difference
oh, what a glor of barcelona are you…. shame….
he is the best defender in the world. i am lucky that is from my team
Varane isn't actually quicker than Messi, but he showed what a defender needs to have and that's the ability to read the game. He knew that the through pass was gonna come so he already starts running. Many other defenders would start running after the through pass is given and that's why those defenders will get outpaced by Messi.
Exactly. Messi really isn't a sprinter. He's not really fast at all. He's quick and agile. And he can actually run his full speed with the ball. Which makes him look fast.

And messi began running before Varane, still Varane is faster…
He was just a great defender he was goal side and read the game well
This time messi was injured so he cant give his full speed
I'm korean i can speak English but cant speak very well
varane is ran straight rine and blocking messi
If messi ran straight rine?
It may messi faster than varane
The same play in thirty seconds. Whoever uploaded this is pretty asshole
Messi ran at a angle and varane ran straight
Messi isn't the fastest anyways.. He has extremely good acceleration.. Not the highest top speed though..
a l correr messi … el se para en un momentooo pero asie es el futboll un defensor tiene que ir contodo pesss
34 butthurt messi fans. Cannot stand the fact that someone is faster than him
although varane is fast, he came at a better angle to the ball and had a bit of a head start. It might not seem that much but it made the difference. This is coming from a player's view of the game…
Who gives a fuck. Never even heard of varane lol. Zidane was slow for a pro player. Didn't stop him from being one of the best of his generation.
he is not faster he was at a better angle
if messi was the defender and is height was 1.9m and varane did have the height of messi (1.7 m) and they had the exactly same speed messi would've won
U know but u actin like u don’t know.
Sure but would he beat him in the beep test?
Song??
Yeah also Usain Bolt is the Best player in the world.. What a logic… Anyway, Messi is faster than varane, but he's not the fastest, it doesn't make sense to be the fastest..
varaen had a head start
