Insone think he’s injury prone, he just get hit a lot more then then other players. He’s hunted in the field.
Messi gets hit as often or even more and never picked up the same injuries.
That always seemed to be a mystery to me that messi is always so healthy. I would love an expert to chime in as to what the difference is.
Extremely strong Core strength. Ronaldo has it and Messi has it.
In basketball. LeBron james and Steph curry have it too.
Messi is blessed in terms of genetics, very professional, and also walks less than the keeper in a lot of matches he participates. His playstyle with nearly 0 defensive duties certainly helped his longevity

He isn’t Haaland, Mbappe or a random 9, he actually plays in the middle of the pitch and falls back consistently. I think the main reason he stayed healthy apart from being professional is because he could just dribble and move faster and more efficiently than anyone else so he just avoided being physically dominated by other players going after his legs.
Has nothing to do with the fact that he gets brutally tackled constantly.
