      Why did the conversation suddenly change? For years and years all we’ve been hearing is that “Messi hasn’t done it at the national team level” and “He isn’t a true leader like other legends” and when Messi wins the world cup with him being the best player not only in his team but in the whole tournament, 2nd top goalscorer, top assist provider, top chance creator and on top of that was a true leader to the point that the other Argentine players wanted to win for him more than for themselves, suddenly there’s all these added nuances to the conversation?? I’m not saying these nuances aren’t legit, but where the heck were they before he won the WC?

      So much for nuts who claim that Messi never played in the EPL. Hahahahaha. England which supposedly hosts the toughest club league in the world have never won a WC since 1966, despite the great majority of their players playing in the creme de la creme of English club football. Secondly, France which is supposedly a 'farmer's league' and Spain, a supposedly weaker league, have produced the world's finest footballers for decades now, Zidane, Henry and now Mbappe for France, Iniesta, Xavi, David Villa etc for Spain. And both these countries have won WC's over the last 25 years along with multiple Euros. When was the last time an English footballer won the Ballon D'or?? English clubs have won only 5 of the last 22 Uefa CL editions. And in this WC, Mbappe who plays in the farmer's league won the Golden Boot and Messi who now also plays in the farmer's league is the Golden Ball winner. Hahahahaha. It doesn't matter whether Messi plays in the EPL or not. Hahahaha. He has been tormenting them whenever they play beginning with that header over Rio Ferdinand, Van Der Saar in the UEFA CL final in 2009. If Suarez could make such an impression at Liverpool let's not even talk about what Messi would do to English defenses. Hahahahaha.

      This is it, now Messi needs new haters. The old ones are becoming his fans 😀
      He has completed football, he'll just be doing side quests from now on

      Messi is the best in the history of the game, u don't need to like him to admit it. This guy scored more goals with high technology available literally plays with VAR. And man the achievement speaks for itself

      To be honest who cares what shaka thinks…. what's his own achievement….is he a word Cup winner (NO)… is he champion league winner (NO)… is he an elite goalkeeper (NO)…. MESSI was is and will remain the best ever …they can only dream to have a career like MESSI

      It dont matter how good you are in your career, it's about just winning a world cup. That's stupid because haaland will never win a world cup with Norway. Goat debate is irrelevant
