Any lunatics still thinking Messi is the best?

Harry Kane in the media over the past few days saying he thinks he can score more goals in his career than Messi...

 

I’m no Harry Kane fan, but that’s not what he said at all. He said that Messi and Ronaldo had gone above what is considered a normal standard, had now set a new standard for goal scoring and that he was hoping to emulate that standard*. Scumbag tabloids then changed that to “I’ll outscore Messi” because they’re cretins who will do anything for clicks.

 

*He won’t though, obviously.

 

ETA: ‪The gulf in quality between Lionel Messi and every other football player on the planet is fucking mental. The greatest that has ever lived, by miles. What a boy.‬

The hyperbole in bold is just bollocks. No issues with Messi being or forward as better than Ronaldo, but “miles” better with a  gulf in quality that is “fucking mental” between them?

Nonsense. No idea why people who prefer one or the other seem unable to admit they are around the same, exceptionally high, level.

It’s not hyperbole if it’s true. Ronaldo is a phenomenal goal scorer, an absolutely elite athlete, and the second best player that has ever played, but he isn’t the football player that Messi is. No one is.

Messi is one of, if not the best goal scorer in history, whilst at the same time being the most consistently creative player in Europe for over a decade. He drops deep in to midfield, dictates the tempo of games, creates multiple chances per game, both directly with assists and by building attacks, and often times then finishes them too. He’s Xavi, Iniesta and Ronaldo rolled in to one absolutely spectacular football player.

Luka Modric or Kevin De Bruyne (or any other elite creative midfielder) can’t do what he does, but Messi can do what they can. Harry Kane or Aguero (or any other elite striker) can’t do what Messi does, but he can do what they can.

People fawn and gush over him because he is truly, truly special. As a footballer, he is miles ahead of everyone else, both past and present, maybe that just won’t be fully acknowledged until he retires and people realise just how good he was.

Right enough, I’d have Messi as my centre mid over Modric any day...

Tbf Messis range of passing is comparable to Modrics, the amount of pinpoint passes he makes over 30 yards is incredible.

Rather strange thread this, surely to God that anyone who watches football regularly and has any sort of idea about the game, would have to concede that if Messi is not the greatest player in history, then he's certainly up there with the best.

Workrate, goalscoring, passing, vision, fitness, longevity at the top and his all round professionalism are second to none...............
