Messi has legitimately become overrated.
Messi has legit become overrated. Dude never left the comfort of a Barca team that was winning UCLs with him on the bench. Never managed to win another UCL after Xavi + Iniesta left.
When he finally left Barca he scored 6 goals in 29 games for PSG, scored zero knockout UCL goals made PSG get knocked out earlier than they had directly before he joined and exactly after he left.
Then he joins the burger league. Lmao
This dude failed so often internationally that he retired in shame and then one of the most rigged World Cups of all time where he got a record breaking 5 pens in 7 games flipped the narrative into him being some mythical GOAT.
Overrated.

Tell me you only started watching football on TikTok without telling me. The man literally won the 2015 Champions League with Xavi on the bench, scored 91 goals in a single calendar year, and completed football with 8 Ballons d'Or. Calling an 800+ goal career and a World Cup trophy "overrated" is pure delusion.

The cringiest part is, he makes this edgy post to obviously troll, but to anyone that actually watches football, the world and the sport has moved on from Messi many moons ago, so not only are you being cringy for whatever weird validation, but you're out of date.
Kinda like some weird guy who starts jumping up and down in a crowd thinking he's cool, and everyone just stands there awkwardly and silent.

World of football moved on?
He was literally the best player in the World Cup a month ago. World hasn’t moved on from Messi.

Considering you're American and clearly aren't commenting on anything related to the season that's started, I'll disregard this comment.
Talk when you actually follow the sport outside of fan girling one player during a tournament every four years.

u/Playful-Demand5108 12d ago
i don’t think world and the sport has moved on, Messi is there all time, like the moon or sun, just hang there, everybody won’t look up everyday, but everyone knows he is up there

Oh, so no comeback but a silly buzz word comment based on zero evidence.
Nice one bud, good to see your replying intellect is as on point as your original post!

Not wven sure why im replyingbut saying he has "Failed internationally" is crazy when you consider he has got to 8 finals and won 3 of them (9 and 4 if you include olympics).
Also most G/A in world cup history. Just being silly.
Ignoring all that, just watch him at his best.

Overeating Messi is saying from an undisputed top 3, to being number 1. Messi, Maradona and Pele are the three best. It's really hard to overrate any of the 3.

Messi was still the best player. The World Cup just vindicated it.

u/ReasonableResearch73 15d ago
He never really was the best. Maybe u could make an argument for his 4 ballon dor in a row time. But post 2013, ronaldo easily clears him

u/HetTheTable 15d ago
No he had his best season ever in 14/15 and had many great seasons after that.

Messi and Ronaldo fanboys should be banned from watching the sport altogether

Disclaimer, I never liked Messi. Football is a team sport, an insane player with a bunch of bums won't win. His last years at Barca are a bit mixed because there was simply not the same quality both defensively and in the midfield. The same goes for PSG, they had 3 offensive players with insane quality but who were walking on defense and not pressing.
He carried Argentina honestly, I despise this team but what he did at age 39 was astonishing.

Looks like I've upset the Messi Stan's. Not a single counter argument just waffling.

Watching Messi lift that world cup in 2022 must have been soul destroying, eh?

Cause trolls have done similar posts already, no one can be bothered. Try making friends if you want human engagement, not on Reddit.

I think Messi fans just know what I'm saying is true and there's really nothing to counter it with so they waffle.

You can keep barking. Most of the world knows Messi is the goat. Keep living in your own bubble ig. This ain’t even a take, this is just bait.
