Ridiculousss

I think contrary to what everyone thinks, Messi isn’t winning for his achievements. It’s what he does on the field. He scores, he assists, he creates chances, and he produces magic moments.
Let’s say, he has Haaland’s achievements. Do you really think he would have scored 0 goals in UCL semis and finals? With City’s team, it’s impossible to stop Messi. Messi with KDB, Gundogan, Grealish, Rodri, Foden, and Alvarez would be a cheatcode. I will even say if Messi had gone to City in 2020, City would have won at least two UCLs by now. Bayern was able to stop Messi this year because PSG had a poor midfield.

Now, let’s say Haaland has Messi’s achievements. Do you see him scoring that Mexico goal? Or creating those insane assists vs Croatia and Netherlands? Or creating chances for Lautaro to miss? Haaland is a great scorer. But, he doesn’t produce what Messi does at the pitch. Go through the highlights of Barcelona’s 2009 and 2015 treble wins and compare Messi’s performances with Haaland. Although they have the same achievement, you can’t put both players in the same bracket. Messi will seem a lot better than Haaland.

First Ballon d’or winner to have won the leagues cup.

Only Messi could win a Balon d’Or in the MLS

Where’s the shame?

After my favorite player, Zidane, retired I thought I was going to enjoy football less. I remember thinking that there wouldn’t ever be a player anymore on the level of Maradona or even Zidane in my lifetime.

Then Messi started making everything I wished to see a reality.

I can vividly remember the early days of Messi and him proving himself to me. I was hoping he’d dribble through defences of top teams. When he started doing that I was just fully blown away that he was actually doing it. He was doing things I always wished would happen, but seemed impossible.

A player that could take an entire team on by himself. Spreading beautiful passes around with ease. Seeing things other players couldn’t. Stunning dribbles with immense composure. The amount of goals were just the cherry on top of already incredible performances. I never expected him to be known for scoring a lot of goals. It’s truly mindblowing what he’s done.

Even if he had 0 Balon d’Ors he’d still be my favorite player of all-time. I judge him with what he’s shown on the pitch and not what he has on his stats page. The amount of entertainment and pure footballing magic he’s given me over all these years is tremendous.

I know I made the mistake thinking there wouldn’t ever be someone on Maradona or even Zidane level ever again. In Messi’s case however, that’s even more improbable. He’s not just a playmaker, he’s not just a goalscorer. He does so many things on such a high level. The incredible thing with Messi as well is the AMOUNT of the things he does. He isn’t like a ‘‘regular top player’’ that maybe has an assist every other match and maybe has 2/3 great passes in those matches. He easily has much more of those passes in literally every match. It’s mindblowing. He’s exceeded my expectations so much.

Back around 2009 we used to say ‘‘if he can continue doing this for 4 years he’ll be the best ever.’’ He went above and beyond.

Anyone who thought Haaland had a chance after Messi won the world cup was simply a crazed CR7 fan or just living in denial…no surprise here

watch my old video where I predicted the winner,RIGHTLY

Bro wasn’t even the player in his own club or the World Cup

BARCA DNA RAAH

3 weeks of good football is enough to grant a Ballon d’Or now

Don’t know why people are confused that Messi would win the balloon d’Or and he deserved it .

Paid for by Qatar

Deserved

There will never be another as good as Messi 💪💪

Haaland robbed. I’m sorry but scoring 50 goals in your debut season for Man City is far more impressive than scoring 6 penalties
