He's won five Ballon D'or, with another coming at the end of the year. He has 4 CL titles and 100+ goals scored in the competition, the second most of all time. He has scored a record 91 goals in a calendar year, a record 73 goals in one season including a record 50 league goals in that very same season. He's got 40+ goals in each season over the last decade. He is arguably the best goalscorer, dribbler and passer in the world. He is humble, he never dives, never complains, always gets on with his game no matter what. He doesn't brag, he doesn't disrespect, he just plays football. He is the epitome of greatness. No player even comes close to his sheer perfection. He is DEFINITELY the best player of all time.

    In my eyes Lionel Messi is the greatest ever player to set foot on a football pitch. I have not seen a another player in history who has mastered all the offensive attributes of a game.
    When I mean offensive attributes...I mean Vision, goalscoring ability, movement, power, positional awareness.....he has it all and guess what his greatest ability is humility...the acknowledgement of his teammates, the ability to not allow success to climb to his head...just a hardworking, humble, genius......who plays football for the love of it.....rather than being obsessed by all the materialistic forms of success.

Ronaldo hasn’t been good, and the only other standout player could be mbappe but they went out way too early in the UCL, so realistically Messi will win it regardless, and if a Liverpool player were to win it I’d most likely be Van Dijk as he’s been indispensable

    I love Messi and absolutely think he is the greatest player of all time, but show some respect for the rest of the Barcelona team! Pique and Alba arguably played their greatest club seasons I have ever seen, and Ter Stegen consistently made massive saves in big moments this year. Not only were these defenders great under Valverde (which is something Barcelona has been struggling with for a while now), but Arthur, Rakitic, Busquets, and Vidal played a massive part in bossing the midfield, tackling, and pressing constantly every game. Even Suarez still had a great season I think if you look at how many pure strikers actually scored more goals than him the top 5 leagues this year. He does a lot more for Barcelona than people give him credit for, and I love that he always gives 100 percent effort even when the fans are breathing down his neck from time to time. Don't get me wrong, I think this was one of Messi's greatest seasons which is really saying a lot considering how unreal he has been, but even he would be the first to tell you that it takes a an entire team to win championships. Messi will always be the difference maker and greatest, but please show some respect to the other men on Barcelona is all I ask!

    Leave these awards for normal human players. Let them win it. Messi was born for something more. He was meant to exalted for something else which has never existed on mother Earth. Sure u can invent new superlatives to describe him after every single game when he's done mesmerizing everyone. But ultimately dictionaries will at some point give up. Then there will be no more words to describe him and you will realize that this guy has transcended the Divine status.

    Messi, however, is the rare player that his skills/technique are more entertaining than his goals. Only the Brazilian Ronaldo & Ronaldinho had that. We wont see the like's of Messi for 100 years. He's broken records set from the 1800's.

      Definitely. No one watches Ronaldo and is unable to comprehend *how* he does certain things or scores goals, it is more his consistency that makes him brilliant? But like Ray Hudson said there is an immesurabile quality to Messi that few have ever come close to - perhaps Bergkamp, Zidane, Ronaldinho. They make football an art form and make it look so easy. Messi is separated from all others of course because he is an artist that also has a practical and clinical side.

Ronaldo from 2006 was a player you thought could be unpredictable at times but it never came to anything. When I saw an 18 year old Messi at SB in 2006, I near shit myself whenever he was near our goal. He outshine Ronaldinho massively and since then he's gone on to be a better player than Maradona and as good a goalscorer as Gerd Muller. A scary talent who won't truely be appreciated until he retires.

    They’re contradicting themselves. If supporting cast doesn’t matter, Messi would carry Argentina by himself. Even though Barça supporting cast isn’t as great as expected, they are still much better than Argentina’s. And that does matter to overall success.

      He *single-handedly* carried Argentina to a WC Final and 2 Copa America Finals...

      @@Emi86293 Those Argentina squads were so bad not even Messi could get them over the top. At least Barça was playing mostly decently when he was out with the broken arm this season. To say that the supporting cast at Barça doesn't matter is insulting and misleading. If Argentina's squad had the quality of Barça, Argentina would have won a lot more.

    people say he should go to another league, while Jordan and Kobe never switched, Totti, Giggs, and Alex Fergeson never left too but because he is Messi

    Messi is the greatest. But as a Barca fan it's concerning when we need him to beat Levante at home meanwhile Liverpool are scoring goals for fun.

    Doesn't matter😲...how disrespectful is that?..everybody played their role in order to get the best of him...whether be tackling or scoring...anything to push this 'he is the best' narrative..smh

      True and that is why a lot of people live Barcelona because they are always in Messi shadow.
