10 - Lionel Messi - v2

[MMKa]

Who count friendlies and training sessions apparently.

And, for Messi it's 101 goals this way.

78+28 in 59 for Barca
12+1 in 9 for Argentina
5+0 in 4 Barca friendlies
6+6 in 3 Messi&friends charity matches
=101 goals and 35 assists in 75 matches.

La Liga: Last season after 16 games - 17 goals (1.06 goals per game)
La Liga: This season after 16 games - 25 goals (1.56 goals per game)

All Competitions: Last season after 25 games - 27 goals (1.08 goals per game)
All Competitions: This season after 25 games - 34 goals (1.36 goals per game)

Still improving

How is that even possible ?! Sure, I knew he would become a better player but improving his stats once more, I didn't think it was possible.
Continues to amaze me every single time, what a footballer.

How was diego considered before 86? Im pretty sure he wasnt clearly above zico and Platini.
No need to compare much though, both are legends.

Look at Diego in 1980 just twenty against England at Wembley:

Maradona, Messi, di Stefano, Pedernera they are all diamonds. Diego had a pretty strong support cast in '86 but at Napoli in his first season it was a relatively weak side whch he lifted from obscurity when serie A was the premier league in Europe. He was then supported later on by the likes of Alemao, di Napoli and Careca to a degree.

The rubbish that gets spouted about Messi and Maradona usually comes from bitter Brazilians or England fans regarding 1986. Sad. No doubt the CBF are looking to unearth some other fraudulent record to try and take the gloss off Leo's incredible acheivements.

8 straight brace's in the games he started. What kind of magic is that?

Diego is/was my favorite footballer . There is no one like him because he is unique.That does not mean he should be the best ever and Messi can surely surpass him without following the same path.Messi should not be compared on standards set by Diego but instead how Messi did in his own way .
That video is awesome. Was there ever a more mature footballer at age of 19 ? Only Ronaldo I can think of .Maradona looked like a player in his peak years .

That's how it should be with everyone. Everyone makes their own legacy.
