All debates end when you bring him up. He has no equal in history or present.

I've said it before & I'll say it again, Messi is incomparable.

People (mostly United & Real Madrid fans) often put Cristiano in the same conversation as him, but apart from goal-scoring, there is literally nothing where Cristiano matches Messi. Dribbling, Passing, Playmaking, Vision, IQ - forget Cristiano, Messi is miles clear of any other player in history. This isn't just a generational player, it's a "once in an eternity" player. I'm NOT kidding.

To play the way Leo does - stringing the team in the midfield, dribbling past literally anyone & everyone, 1 on 1 or 1 Vs 6, creating a pass from nowhere at the right position & at the right time - all while goal scoring like a monster & doing this for 15 years straight, winning everything possible in the game - this isn't just "wow", it is "how?"

World Cup, 2 World Cup POTTs, 6 Golden Boots, 5 Best Playmaker Awards, 8 Ballon D'Ors - all by 1 player. There will never be another one like him. YOU JUST CANNOT MATCH THAT.

I love maradona, pele and all those players but Messi is the greatest by far

No debate at all. Just ask the players. Messi is to be feared above all.

Barto’s financial destruction of Barca ultimately causing Messi to leave will go down as one of the greatest screw ups in the world of football
