Are you going to come here at barca forum and with straight face say Messi wasnt the biggest reason for our winning spree in last 15 years?
Individual talent is one thing, how that talent gets integrated into a winning side is another thing. I can agree with you that Messi is the GOAT.
But, if your view of things is that players and not coaches win trophies, then your philosophy is the 'galacticos' one and you should probable become a RM fan.
Look at Messi before Pep, ...
yeah that's right. He would have never become what he became without Pep, and he would have left Barca somewhere in 2009, 2010 without Pep and the team he built.
Look at Messi also with Argentina NT.
Pep is the biggest reason for our winning spree, even after 2012 the team he had built was able to win (although never reached same heights again) with just management.
That team has not been rebuilt at all since then, the spine is the same the last 10 years, and it cries for rebuilt the last 4 years.
Saying that Messi won 34 trophies for Barca (as if he won them by himself) is disrespectful to Pep first and foremost, and then to all other members of that team like Xavi, Iniesta, Pique, Puyol, Busi, Alves etc.
Even the LaLigas of 2018 and 2019, which were the two titles in which one has the most grounds to argue that 'Messi won them by himself', is negligent at least of Ter Stegen, who is equally responsible for those.
Football is a team sport.
People who have not understood that yet, did not understand also that this kind of praising for Messi is unhealthy
