I guess there are different type of finishers.
There is no better than Messi when it comes to inside the area IMO. 1 on 1 finishes, you rarely say with Messi "oooo, he should have scored" but he doesn't score many goals out of nothing in terms of finishing. Like say chesting the ball down at a tight angle and rifling it past the keeper from a stupid angle but in terms of 1 on 1, there is no one else I want because he can finish in so many ways. Side foot finish is deadly, dink over the keeper, beautiful and obviously the ability to go round the keeper. Cool as a cucumber also. In fact, Arsenal away was one of very few times he's missed a chance like that but even in doing so, you can see why he scores so many, sending the keeper exactly where he wants to and 99% of the time, the execution is simple.
