  1. Messi is not just a striker his most complete player ever… Can do everything what blew my mind was when he dribbles a whole team and score. Cristiano can't even get close to do that. Big difference.

  2. Messi was inflated and the World Cup the fifa give it to him otherwise he would never have lifted the World Cup fifa did everything for Argentina win the World Cup it’s a real shame!

  3. The best scorer
    The best dribbler
    The best passer
    The best chance creator
    One of the best free kick takers
    Most ballon dors in history
    Most fifa best awards
    Most golden boots
    Most playmaker awards
    Two wc golden balls
    One world cup
    Four champions league
    Top 2 in goals scored in all competitions(behind ronaldo by just 30+ goals despite 100+ lesser games played)
    Top 3 in assists in all competitions(will pass pele by the end of the career, and possibly puskas to become top 1)

    Messi literally has no weaknesses to his game. Im a ronaldo fan, but I seriously don't think theres an argument that puts ronaldo above messi. Ronaldo is a once in century talent, while messi on the otherhand is a once in a millennium talent.

    Cristiano is an absolute monster, but he shines according to how great his team is. The better the team, the better cristiano performs. Cristiano has had one of the best ever careers in football history, and is definitely top 2/3 greatest of all time. Messi on the other hand is the system. Even if his team is absolutely trash, he will be able to perform and carry his team. Hes simply the goat and theres no arguments for it

  4. the only Pele advantage over Messi is Pele never had capability of video watching, learning skills as players have today. For that Pele is better then every one else I would say.

  5. Messi is the greatest to ever lived . We will never witness someone with world class goal scoring , world class playmaking , world class dribbling , world class free kick ability . There will be player that will match one of Messi’s qualities but never all together .

  6. The thing is, football evolved so much, it got more athletik, technique and more professional. At the time when maradona or pele played they were so good because everyone was just bad in comparison. They smoked, drinked and stuff like that. Footbal today is just much more athletic and therefore messi is 10x better then pele and maradone combined, period!!!

  7. Ask the average football fan who is the most iconic and influential player of the century and they will say Cristiano Ronaldo, he is in a different bracket than everyone else

  8. 🎙️In 2015 Ronaldo said: My dream goal is to dribble past all the defenders and then score a goal.

    🇦🇷• Reality: Messi did it in 2007 which we all know as Ancara Messi 🙌

    * 🎙️Ronaldo says: I want to win the most Ballon d'Or in history, maybe 7 or 8

    🇦🇷Reality: He will never have more than 5 in his lifetime but the GOAT Messi has 8
    Ballon d'Or.

    🎙️Ronaldo said: The golden boot is better than the Ballon d'Or because it's from pure statistics and not Votes

    🇦🇷Reality: Messi Wins the most Golden in history… Something Ronaldo will never be able to achieve

    & 🎙️Ronaldo says: I want to be the most decorated Player of all time by winning more trophies than anyone

    🇦🇷Reality: he doesn't even have more trophies than Iniesta who retired 5 years ago😭😭
    And Messi is overtaking Dani Alves to become the most decorated player of all time

    🎙️Ronaldo said: I want to win the World Cup… Maybe score a hat trick in the final and beat Leo Messi 3-2

    •🇦🇷Reality: He never even stepped foot in the Semi Finals 3😂😂😂
    while Messi won the world cup by scoring two goals in the final.🏆

    It's fair to say that Leo Messi is a bad
    person. Fulfilling Ronaldo's Dream and creating a Nightmare for him.😅
    Moral lesson:
    👍= Don't talk too much
    👍= Let your work speak for you 👍= Actions speak louder than words 💪
    👍= Messi lives rent free in your heads 😂😂

  9. Gardiola is very intelligent person who smartly replied that he knows winning a wc or any big tournament is a team achievement so a player should not be judged on base of that but for him it wouldn’t have changed his best player if he didn’t won it and one thing he discribed very intelligently that some people chose their best according to how much they have seen or enjoyed a particular player in their time and their sentiments are glued to them so they can’t change and thats ok.

  10. Depends on what you think makes someone the greatest. Going by stats and accolades, Messi by far.

    My personal goat is R9 and I think in another universe where he never got injured and was born a decade later like Messi, he would’ve had all of Messi’s records. But he didn’t, so I guess it doesn’t really matter.
