He would be the best at any position he plays.

Nobody cares about goals. It's about winning, Barca must win.

Messi is MOTIVATED today!! He has run like crazy to chase down balls 2-3 times already. It's clearly obvious he paces himself in some games LOL.

No, different situations, different teams, different expectations, and different defenses. He wasn't asked to "carry" a team back then. He had easily the best mid-field in history back then. He was expected to primarily "score" back then. And he's not marked like multiple defenders when he...

Don't have to look at the numbers. Messi has been absolutely mesmerizing in the UCL. Heads and shoulders above the rest in each match.

It's like with other great generational athletes in other sports. Michael Jordan wasn't the physical specimen that he was in his 2nd 3-peat. But he was still as dominant and played at a GOAT-level (more post game and inside play rather than insane dunks). Same thing with Lebron James. Great...

Quicker doesn't mean better with dribbling. You're mistaking that with pace/workrate.

Suarez has been great. One thing I would like him to stop is the diving at every touch. It really ruins potential great plays.

Are you even serious? He made Atletico's defense looks like elementary school kids and they have arguably the best defense in the world.

Did you see his mesermizing dribbling a few weeks ago? He put everyone in awe with his dribbling alone. His right foot is a little bit injured. There are news reports he's trying to avoid using that foot during the pitch. That affects his dribbling tremendously. You can't dribble with one foot.

I don't think that he isn't as quick or "wild" as before. His role and responsibilities are more now than before. In games where we struggle, we would rotate to many different positions, including very deep in the mid-field. Before, he had a prime Xavi/Iniesta to man that area so all he can do...

The injury isn't worsened with more playing. It will heal naturally. Messi knows his importance to the team. He's still contributing, just not up to his standards. He'll be fine.

Messi's dribbling is affected by his injury. He gets dispossessed more often today. He'll be fine.

That chip miss was horrendous. His first "bad" game in a long time so I'll let it pass.

Neymar has been terrible for a long time now. He needs to get it back as we are entering a crucial stretch. Suarez has destroyed several attacks with his flopping. Please just play. Messi is the best looking one but everyone else is so out of sync.

Messi looking good. Unfortunately, the rest of the team is out of sync (as usual after the international breaks).

People are finally recognizing Messi this year as more than a goal scorer, which is laughable. He didn't score in games v. Man City or Athletico but was still lauded for his performances. If he keep sthis up and Ronaldo can score all his goals, Messi will win it. Again, it still baffles me...

^ He will still be in peak form by the next WC. The guy is miles ahead of the competition. Hopefully with guys like Dybala on the come up in the next couple of years, ARG will also peak by then.

I think he will still be the best player in 3 years time. He will only be 30. If Robben can better his game as he ages, with the skillset that Messi has, no doubt this guy can play at this GOAT level until 32-33 AT LEAST. Remember, many games this year he wows the whole world without scoring a...

I'm not disputing. But considering the majority of footballers consider the WC the greatest prize, that's why Messi'sstatus as GOAT is arguable to some.
