I absolutely agree with you, especially on the last part of your post.
Anyway, I am sure that if someone is going to pull off a raking for the most dribblings completed during the decade in the top 5 leagues and CL Messi would easily be on top as well.
Also:
So:
Top scorer of the decade: Messi
Top assistman of the decade: Messi
Top dribbler of the decade: for sure would be Messi again
Top FK taker of the decade: Messi
Basically, any offensive statistic that a football player can have from the midfield onward is dominated by this man.
And still there are some retards around who dare to say that Lionel Messi is not the best player by
A HUGE MARGIN in activity today.
Nobody of the players currently playing, bar Messi, can be even remotely considered in a "best ever" argument, because they all lack the required technique and skills.
Messi is the only one currently in activity who can sit at the table of the few very best ever of football, as in fact he is head and shoulders above the rest of the current generation.
