Might be an unpopular question to pose, but is his passing better than his dribbling?

Obviously passing lasts longer than elite dribbling for obvious reasons (though he's still an excellent dribbler). But he's one of the best ever at both. He is known for his dribbling but I wouldn't hold it against anyone who thought his passing and vision were even better

That's a tremendous look. He should grow his hair like that.

To me he is way more handsome in that pic than Cristiano Ronaldo would ever be. But I do like long hair and beard look.
Definitely should give it a try for one last hurrah. He looks like a lion with the long hair + red beard combo.

Yeah the ladies like a bit of red in a beard for sure.

He looks excellent there. Very masculine looking too.

When you consider how awkward 20-year-old long hair him looked, he's come a long way lookswise.

I don't know why people call him ugly - he's ok looking, and in that pic he's actually attractive.

I would say his dribbling is better. His dribbling is 10/10 while his passing is 9/10 to me. Playmaking is 10/10 too, like dribbling.

It's hard to do the comparison as they are 2 different facets.

Dribbling is probably the hardest skill in football so I would say dribbling.

It's always great to see him in action but i feel like he is in the stage when he can only play one half. Hope i'm wrong though.
He's definitely a one half player (only natural with his age and mileage), but he can definitely play a full game as long as others are running for him and him picking his moments.

Although his legs are gone, the combination of his teammates running for him and his skillset + intelligence allows him to still make an impact in the game.

Long may it last as he might retire in a year or so.

Perfect in both department and they actually intertwine. There's a study analysing elite players' scanning habits and though Xavi was at the top in terms of frequency and 360 exorcist rotation, Messi had the quickest scan time of 'em all 🪞

It's like a cheat code synergy of photographic memory, pattern recognition and neuralink making him not only control the ball to a T when dribbling but also read his opponents micro-movements faster than other players.

And for the alien passing, let's hope AI compiles all the archives for posterity. Dope Otello Tall Tale 😎
