Is Messi Now Officially the Greatest Footballer in History?

[silvathechihuahua]

He was before he won the World Cup !

You can never tag anybody, the best player ever because of different Generations,
but from our Generation Messi is the best by a country mile, also he never really picked up a major injury because you could not get to kick him he was that good,

was good to see Messi lifting the world cup

 

[Blue and true]

If Messi never scored a single goal, he’d have been the best playmaker in the world.

Exactly. He's basically a hybrid.

 

[Don Karleone]

A fitting end

 

[Sir Joe Aguero]

Always has been. We could of got him on a free, but alas.

 

[MichaelFrontzeck'sBathroom]

No but he is a close 2nd, that accolade goes to Diego Maradona!

 

[MichaelFrontzeck'sBathroom]

The fact that some are even suggesting pele as the greatest ever is virtue signalling in a class of its own ffs, maradona and messi would/would’ve run rings round the ****!

Not to rain on your parade, but this thread is many years too late.

 

[Stoned Rose]

He already was.

Even if he’d never won a single thing there’s clearly never been a better footballer.
