I agree with that. Once Messi retires, let's hope that doesn't happen for at least a decade, I think he will be the best ever.

To be honest, the next huge leap I could see happening is the advent of "genetically engineered" super-athletes. And at that point, there's no point comparing because Messi became the GOAT without that.

You're clearly wrong. Next step are AI players by Google. We'll have only our brains without body connected to THE INTERNET, while floating in fluid full of vitamins in a jar somewhere high in earth's orbit...

Then apple will come along with the ibody and will be hailed as the great innovators of the human race. However, the ibody will only work on the Apple ecosystem causing a superiority complex in its users brain thus creating a great split in humanity between ibody users and everyone else, sparking WW3 and the end of the world.

Messi : "This year I tried to get off to a good start from the word go. I knew that I wasn't coming off the back of a great year, in which I had to get through many problems, both on and off the pitch."

Messi: "It was a real challenge to change the image that I had given last season and to get back to my old self. That was my objective and with that in mind I started the season"

Messi: "The team are confident, with a different attitude, highly motivated. And that has put us where we are today. But there is still a long time to go and we haven't won anything yet." [Mundo Leo]

Yes, sad is the future of humanity. Glad I'm not the only one foreseeing it.
First they send aliens to earth (what do you think where Messi came from..Argentina? Phh...I don't think so), and then...and then they make men pluck their eyebrows and carry "man's purse"

Deal with what? I never said Maradona was a better goalscorer
Messi is clearly superior, but just those stats is misleading if you don't take the average leagues into account. Deal with it

Lionel Messi talks about the reasons for Barcelona's drastic change in form
The Argentine admitted that he wasn't at his best last season, adding that the defeat Anoeta changed a lot. Since 2015 started, however, he has been in stunning form for his club
Whether Lionel Messi is the leader of this Barça side or Luis Enrique is, is a subject which must be settled among themselves. What is evident is that the Argentine is the heavyweight at the club. His form on the pitch and his opinion off it has to be taking into account. Especially when he is speaking as clearly as this.
In an interview with 'Mundo Leo', Messi spoke about the changes the team have experienced in 2015 in respect to the second half of the season. The point of inflection was the match at Anoeta, as the player explained. His words differ from his coach's, who has insisted since losing to Real Sociedad "there has been no change" in the team.
The first surprise in Leo Messi's words is that he admits he needed to improve on the level of performances he displayed in 2013-14. He was self-critical without hiding from the reasons why: "The truth is that this year I tried to start as well as possible. I knew that I wasn't coming off the back of a great year, because there were a lot of problems."
Messi admitted, during the interview, that last season he "had many problems both on and off the pitch". Problems that ended up affecting both FC Barcelona and the Argentine national team. Result: A disappointing season. "The challenge was to change the image I had projected last season. And to return to being who I was in previous years. That was my objective and I have started this campaign with a lot of enthusiasm," he said.
But Leo Messi didn't leave it there, instead carrying on to talk about the match which provoked the great change, the defeat in San Sebastian in January: "The truth is that we are fine. Fortunately, after the game at Real Sociedad, where we did not start the year well, everything changed."
Anoeta was necessary for the group. Messi argued that the consequences of that defeat have brought on the metamorphosis: "Now there is another dynamic, we are all in this together. The team is confident, the attitude has changed and we are all really enthusiastic. And we are where we are". He didn't want to get too carried away. "There's a lot left [this season]!"
With this new attitude, Barcelona have won 11 games in a row and have grown into the most effective team in Europe. It gives reason to believe the season will end in success. However, Leo advised caution: "We've not won anything yet. There are months left in the league and the Champions League. We still need to take the final step to get to the Copa final. We have to continue as we are to reach our objectives."
CHAMPIONS LEAGUE
If there is one competition that the Argentine loves it is, without doubt, the Champions League. Despite his voracity in all competitions -- he wants to play all the time, every minute -- it is in Europe where differences are marked. And he is ready to go toe-to-toe with Manchester City in the round-of-16 next Tuesday in England: "We've got City like last season and they are a team made up of great players, so there are going to be two really difficult games."
Leo recognises that the Premier League side are desperate to get through, not least as revenge for last year: "The objective for them is to qualify (for the quarter-final) because they have not managed that yet. It will be even and the small details will count a lot. It will be a good game because City have strengthened a lot." At City is Messi's friend Kun Agüero, who spent last weekend visiting Barcelona.

Seria A average 1.9 - 2 goals while leagues now average about 2.6-2.7.
Isn't Seria A still low on scoring even today? Might be a style of play thing.

The fact that italian teams are known to play defensively doesn't mean the quality of their defense is superior.
