Jaguar
Flair Trait
Best dribbler all time
Best passer all gime
One of the best playmaker all time
One of the best goal scorers all time
But Ronaldo is more complete
Ronaldo is stronger, taller, faster over 100m, better hair and better in the air, he can do way more around the worlds and his abs show more too.

Don't know how this has gone unnoticed, but Messi is actually on 201 career assists now, not 200. http://messi.starplayerstats.com/en has forgotten all about his assist to Riquelme against Qatar in 2005, and http://kahkonen.arkku.net/messi/ has forgotten about Messi's assist to Suárez in our 3-1 victory against Athletic Bilbao this season.

For all his talent... Leo is actually sorta boring to garner this kind of cult following?

Can't agree with you there. In 14/15 he was dropping players 1v1 like flies, no matter what team. That sort of emasculation, especially when he could do it without even breaking out of a jog, just made him seem like such a boss. Messi has always been a master of 1-vs-all dribbles where an entire defense would collapse onto him because of how infallible his ball control and agility is. However, in 14/15, seeing him so frequently bust out a feint, skill, or meg to floor a defender made him seem like the supreme alpha of the footballing world
. This was furthered by him creating clear-cut goalscoring chances for Nerman and co. regularly like it was nothing. He'd turn a defender's career into dust if he felt like it, let Neymar/Suarez have a 1v1 scoring opportunity if he felt like it, and he'd walk around if he felt like it.
We're gonna need more Boateng assassinations and legacy building solo goals for me to consider this season up to par with 10/11 or 14/15 for Leo.

I agree that you can hardly say 15/16 is his best season (for now), especially in the dribbling with the injury and time it took to get back into form, but he's getting there.
If you only consider his vision of the game though .... this season is even better than last one, which is insane.
To sum it up, I think he will end the season in GOAT form for our biggest joy.

Well his goal scoring is up there now, even better than 2012, hope it stays like this !
So actually only the dribbling is still missing a few notches to have the greatest Messi we've ever seen.
Dear god ...

I'll have to disagree too. He has never been more masterful on the ball, his passing has never been better and he has never been more timely with his impact on the field. Obviously, his May 2015 was ridiculous but we're not at that point of the season yet. I have no doubt though that he'll reach that same level again this season, injury permitting. For starters, he will repeat his 14/15 Camp Nou performance vs City against Arsenal on Wednesday. I'm predicting atleast 3 goals+assists in that game.
He's just taking it easy for most of the 90 min each game because Neymar and Suarez are also really really good this season. But whenever Barca have needed him, he steps up like clock-work.

His dribbling has already reached his previous levels of 14/15, I don't see what's missing.
