59% win, Maradona 20-7-7 in 34 matches, title, final, 3rd, 4th, R16
45% win, Mascherano 10-5-7 in 22 matches, 2x quarter-final

40th career hat-trick being the career main playmaker of his teams.

[jibers]

40th hat-trick being the main playmaker of the team.

Neymar was the play-maker tonight. Created 4 goals.

[RealGunner]

Don't awake the beast jibers


whoscored servers can't handle it

[Harmonica]

40th hat-trick being the main playmaker of the team.

Neymar was the play-maker tonight. Created 4 goals.

I meant career, and umm no. Messi was the main playmaker even today, and had actually better passing. Neymar was great though.

[Myesyats]

They were both sublime

[Donuts]

from the highlights it looks like messi and neymar switched roles with neymar providing and messi scoring more tapins
neymar scoring from free kick etc.

but overall the messi controlled the game

[Bankz]

Both were great tbh and messis game was sublime but it looked like Neymar played more of the play maker role imo (aside the assist), Which he's actually crazy at tbh. Btw, Neymar though

Neymar 10
Messi 10

[Gil]

Shamelessly stat padding against tragic opposition. Disgraceful stuff.
