He was so close on many occasions, mostly for Argentina with those finals. Best career of all time is extremely hard to achieve in a team sport.
Messi definitely has the best in football though, even if it could've been much better with a bit more luck. We'll see if a player can have the 'perfect' career (subscriber of domestic trophies, CL every other year or so, 2-3 WC's, 2-3 CA/Euros), surely none of the current crop will though that's for sure.
Regarding WC26, still 2.5 years to go. Argentina were only getting started back then after finishing 3rd in Copa America. Think the favourites will change over the course of these years, but surely now England and France have the best squads with Argentina having the best team. Portugal also have a strong squad but a bit below Eng & Fra. Argentina showed you don't need the best squad to win, just a really well oiled machine of a system, and a goat of course.
