Messi 5-2-3 = 50% win, 6 goals from 13 team goals = 44% importance
Pele 4-2-4 = 40% win, 8 goals from 18 team goals = 40% importance
Neymar 3-2-3 = 38% win, 2 goals from 11 team goals = 18% importance

King of el Clasico and nightmare of Real Madrid. Quite insane that Messi actually has been better in the biggest and hardest game of football, than the rest of the games on average.

[Harmonica]

Outperforming, in 35 minutes halfit cameo after 2 months knee injury, rested Cronaldo.

Edgar Davids: "Messi is an anomaly. He can dribble, mark, has the speed, has vision and understands the game. Cristiano is only an athlete."

"Nobody wants to face Messi. I've played against Cristiano and you can defend against him without problems. Messi is another species."

Record 9th time in Ballon d'Or Top 3. The most consistent and dominate player of all-time.

Messi won Spanish League Best Player Award 14-15, 6th time of the 7 possible after the award was established in 08-09.

Dude this is like 5 years old, how did the #1 Messi fan on this forum not know about it until now?

I'm not fan of Messi personally, but his actions.

Messi voted best player of all time by Goal readers

http://www.goal.com/en/news/2466/goal-50/2015/12/04/18000702/goal-50-winner-messi-voted-best-player-of-all-time-by-goal

"The 28-year-old faced stiff competition from legends of the game but ultimately won with 53,904 people backing the Barcelona forward - a whopping 52 per cent of the 103,611 votes cast."

Don't know how stiff the competition is when you get more than half the votes, but there you go. Found this interesting about age distribution.



Cronaldo 2nd best by the young people, Maradona by middle-aged people and Pele by old people, Messi clearly best in every age group.

The color-coding in this chart is atrocious. I would immediately fire whoever thought this looks good or serves any purpose.

[Harmonica]

Blast from the past, 18 year old Messi against Galtacticos. Insane performance, even Zidane was hacking Messi.

Incredible that Messi's grandma was daughter of catalans in Argentina, he's 1/8th catalan!
Time to speak some catalan Messi, for you grandma.
Is this the grandma he always dedicates his goals to, or is that the maternal grandma?

World's biggest 1-2.

Could be hitting his 500th game for Barcelona senior team in final of CWC15 if he plays both matches at age 28.

Age of some one club when hitting 500 matches.

Giggs 30
Carragher 30
Gerrard 30
Maldini 30
Terry 31
Totti 32
Puyol 33
Scholes 33

Leo Messi blasted his critics and some nonsensical fans in latest interview on TyC Sports. Here is what he had to say:

Messi: "I don't worry about individual awards, I worry about winning with my team."

Messi: "Several years ago I stopped caring about individual awards."

Messi: "River have great players and you have to match their intensity. In divided balls you have to go in strong."

Messi: "Gallardo is smart, he is going to know how to play against us."

Messi: "People talk for the sake of talking. They don't know."

Messi: "I still hear criticism from the national team. I say 'feck you' we got to the final and didn't lose in quarters."

Messi: "I don't need to sing the anthem to feel it."

Messi: "Ever since they criticize me for not singing the anthem, I stopped singing it on purpose."

Messi "I get upset when (fans) yell 'put some balls'."

Messi: "I get bothered by the Argentines that criticize my running or my lack of balls."

Messi: "Football is not just about having balls."

Messi: "There is no need to run all the time. Everyone knows what they need to do and I wait for my moment."

Messi: "Since my son (Tiago) was born, I changed. I understand that life is not just football."

Messi: "Thiago gets upset every time I leave. He asks, 'going to score goals again, dad?' I say to him, 'yes, going to score goals.'".

Messi: "(Mateo) just eats, sleeps and shits."

Dropping dem truth bombs.
