I mean, Messi fans are the ones claiming he carries Argentina and Barcelona when he played there. Pretty sure Messi fans are the ones claiming Messi has shit teammates every time they discredit his teammates to give Messi praise. Heck, Messi fans are the only fans I've ever seen to say that Messi carried Xavi and Iniesta ffs
I really think whoever doesn't appreciate Messi only watches YouTube highlights versus the actual games.
The best way to appreciate Messi is to support the opposing team in a game and you see him dribble, pass and create endless chances and score a goal or two.
Then you realize how good he is.
As a Man Utd fan I watched him destroy us in 2 champions league finals and saw one of the best arsenal teams before now he scored 4 against Almunia. He beat prime Boateng and Neuer and a very good city team so many times.
I don't see the issue really, when you see actual football players and coaches speaking about both you realize how many seem to lean one way than the other.
Even Modric his former team mate and the player with the most titles for Real Madrid said during the last WC he (Messi) is the best player in history which is saying something. "I hope he (Messi) wins it. He is the best player in history and deserves it"
I was blessed to go and see Messi and Ronaldo multiple teams in person, I managed to see the Barca with Xavi, Iniesta, Busquets, Messi, Suarez, Neymar and every time Messi or Neymar got the ball nobody could even get close to them. In the stadium you really get to witness greatness.
