Troll?
Look, you have to be aware that everything Barca's is overrated by our fans.
Messi is better than Cr7.
Xaviniesta are better than Zidane
Pep's era is better than 4 out of 5 by RM
Pep is better than Zidane
In that sense, once when Messi will be gone and especially if he'll leave with a bitter taste, views on him will be more realistic.
His career till 2013 was out of this world.
After that it is downhill and somewhat underachieving based on his potential.
And no, it is not because of bad teammates.
In the last 5 years, he was mostly statpadding against Mickey Mouse La liga opponents (who are worst ever) and scoring from lots of penaldos and free kicks.
In CL ko matches, probably not even in top10 in the last 5 years.
Which kind of Goat is that who scored zero KO goals for Argentina in his life (iirc) and 1 away KO goal in 5 years for the most expensive team on the planet.
His last few years were underwhelming.
At the end, his only Goat skills were in killing weak La liga teams.
After 2012, he almost lost magic powers on the international level, except in 2015, paired with the most expensive attacking trio in a history.
You'll see in upcoming years how overhyping will cool down.
Especially if Messi will be average at City, which is the most likely scenario based on his age, pace, stamina, mental strength, EPL defenders and media/fans who will be hostile towards him.
And you have learned by now what he does when things are not safe and perfect: he puts his head down, touches his beard, walk and sulk.
Sorry for rant, but I am tired of alibies and excuses how everything about Barca is always the best.
How Messi's career has developed in the last 7-8 years, it is very debatable whether he is better than Cr7 results wise.
Cr7 wins in CLs, KO matches and NT titles.
Messi only has the edge in million of La liga goals and titles. Which is not bad, but...
Anyway, keep on dreaming and live on a cloud.
