In the coming season or two, statisticians will be at a loss for what new records Messi can shatter as well...as he will likely own most of them
Perhaps I'm in the minority but I'm not all that consumed with these records...They make for a healthy resume but could any stats really reflect the sort of player Messi is?...That photo from the Benfica match alone says a lot more than most stats can
He's unique and even when he owns most if not all the records one day, his name in the history books will never give you an idea of what sort of player he was on the pitch...I imagine that's why enthusiasts the world over simply want to watch him everytime he steps onto the pitch to see what he will do next...Seeing an artist like that in real time can never be expressed accurately or vividly enough in stats or words
Pure joy
