1. CRITICS said Messi was nothing without Ronaldinho, Deco and Etoo.

FACT: All three players left and Messi peaked even at their absence winning uncountable team and individual honors

2. CRITICS changed narrative to say Messi is benefitting from the geniuses of Xavi and Iniesta at Barca..

FACT: Xavi left Barca, Iniesta also left yet Messi keep blazing, winning trophies awards.

3. They said Messi is a one club hero, asking him to emulate Ronaldo by changing clubs to prove that he is indeed a great player...

FACT: Ronaldo left Manchester United(Man U) to join Real Madrid(RM) because RM is a far bigger club to Man U. Ronaldo left RM to Juventus because he was unhappy with RM hierarchy and the way he was treated in 2018 by the club's President.

On the other hand Messi is a Barcelona product and Barcelona is a far greater club to any other team in the world (argue with Barcanista). In addition, Messi is in great shape at Barca and Barca love him.

Beside, Nikolas Anelka is one of the most "travelled" player in Europe but no one is calling him G.O.A.T for his football tourism.

4: CRITICS said Messi should go to another league to win trophy to prove his status

FACT: Messi doesn't need to go to any league to prove himself, he has played all top teams from each top leagues in Europe and demolished them... Neymar has won league trophies with Barcelona (Spain), PSG (France) and Santos (Brazil - where he also won South America champions league), yet no one is saying he is GOAT.

5. CRITICS said Messi should win trophy for his country to be considered G.O.A.T

FACT: Messi led his country to youth world cup triumph, he led his country's men team to Olympic Gold in 2008. He further led his country to Copa America final twice in 2015 and 2016 where they lost via penalty shootout (game of luck). The biggest of all, he led his country to World Cup final in 2014 (where they narrowly lost at extra time) and was crowned MVP for all the aforementioned tournaments.

MORE FACTS:
1. Messi has more goals than all his teammates and former teammates in Barcelona and Argentina

2. Messi has more assist than all his teammates and former teammates in Barcelona and Argentina

3. Argentina is a semi average team without Messi but a team "to beat" with Messi in it.

4. Take Messi out of Barcelona and Barcelona will struggle to win games.

AS FOR FIFA AWARD 2019
Critics claim Messi is undeserving of FIFA Award 2019 but who deserves it more than the man that achieved the following in 2019...

1. Top Scorer in Europe 2018/19 (European Golden Boot)

2. Top scorer in UEFA Champions League 2018/2019

3. Joint Most Goal Assist in Europe 2018/2019

4. Most Man of the Match won in 2018/2019 UEFA Champions league

5. Most player of the Week won in 2018/2019 UEFA Champions league

6. Best Forward in Europe 2018/19

I don't even want to mention domestic individual honors he got but critics can't give us any individual player with a stat to match Messi in 2018/19.

The summary of this epistle is that Lionel Messi is the GREATEST SPORTSMAN OF ALL TIME... This is a fact that even his critics know but ashamed to publicly admit.

Genius! Messi critics are just reaching and grasping the straws. Like I had said several times, anybody who thinks that Messi wouldn't have won the EPL with Alex Ferguson's Manchester United team or won Serie A last season with Juventus needs to have his/her head examined. The argument Messi critics make are ridiculous and bizarre.

VVD certainly deserved it, unfortunately the man has low self-esteem, as he stated many times he wasn't worthy of winning ahead of Messi.

Now how can football be fair if only attackers deserve the Best Player Status?
VVD had a more decisive season as a defender than Messi had as a Striker.

since xavi and ineista left has he won the champions league and secondly wining trophies with the youth team is not
regarded, and if it is regarded the footballing world (and people that knows more than us) they will not be saying he should
win something with his national side.

even messi once said if possible he would trade of his trophies for copa america cup.

Bros, u wey dey write, how much be ur own?? grin

Buh truth be told and sentiments/fanatism apart, MESSI is the real gifted G.OA.T, a man born with a phenomenal trait in football that surpasses human understanding. At a point, we were even forced to think that he is a robot who does all he does on the pitch with the aid of a "battery" or an "electronic motor" installed in him.

One can tell that RONALDO's success is borne out of hard work and resilience. In summary, VVD is good, RONALDO is better but MESSI is best!!!

Nice write up, but u got it all wrong wen u said Argentina is a team to beat with Messi shocked. grin no be only. Argentina the really struggle bad with Messi. See Bolivia, Venezuela, Peru and Iceland matches against them for more details. The really I mean really! Really!! Struggle in the last World cup n Copa America. Argentina didn't struggle to qualify for COMMBOL without Messi, but struggled throughout the tournament with him. To me he is a liability to that team @ the moment. That 4 months banned he has is what it, so that Argentina can put there act together. No doubt Messi is a fantastic player, a monster footballer probably one of the greatest footballer of all time, but his national team struggle leaves me with with no doubt that about his short coming, to me he is not the perfect leader, even Barcelona fall in Europe against Roma & Liverpool can attest to that. Argentine national team are really struggling with his presence, maybe because of his reputation or talent.

6. Best Forward in Europe 2018/19


Op
Thank you very much for this. Messi's critics will never say Cr7 can play better than him.
They'll rather whip up a thousand other sentiments. They'll rather say Cr7 is better because he has no tattoo, he donates blood, he ate free snacks when he was young and poor....

They'll say a thousand other rubbish. They'll NEVER say Cr7 can actually play a better football than Messi

It can't change the fact that Messi is actually being favored. The year xavi an Iniesta won the word up, the award went to Messi despite them having a better chance after winning for both club and country.

Now the same logic did not apply to Ronaldo after singlehandedly winning the ucl for RM, Instead, they gave it to modric for playing in the final.

There's a conspiracy behind Ronaldo and Florentino Perez is behind it.
for the record, the Xavier year u mentioned of was the same year messi scored 92 goals and over 30 assists... Think about that

In 2006 when cannovaro won the the Ballon d'or, Henry scored lots of goals too. But canno won the world cup. So what's your point?

Professionals who know and have played the game at the highest level have collectively and unanimously voted... People who have never kicked a stone or even excelled at primary school level football are here bitching...

When you ask them the basis on which they declare Messi not individually worthy of the award, they say he didn't play in other leagues or teams... Intelligence is getting quite scarce among my fellow Negroes. grin
