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.

Greatest of All Time

OMG... FTC?

Well, am a CR7 fan but, Congrats to Messi. We are looking forward to leveling it next year.

Biko, visit my website in my signature.

Admin, don't delete please.

See let me tell you people a thing about messi and why people are terrified of him In football field.

Messi is a magician, when I say magician I meant messi will dribble over 5 people and score and nobody will praise him because he's like a normal thing for him to do.

They said he's not a goal scorer like ronaldo but has more goal ratio than ronaldo even while playing less games, it's believe messi will surpass ronaldo in goals this season and by the way he has more assist too even though he play less games.

Messi has more individual achievements in international stage than anybody ever yet they said he did nothing for his country. Ronaldo has no international individual achievements but messi was named Olympic best player, 2x copa America best player, 2014 world cup best player, etc etc.

Messi will always be ahead of anybody in personal achievements that's why we love him, that's why he's call messigician.

To further add to it, messi has never play in England but he has the most goals against English biggest teams even more than ronaldo that has play in England for years.

Before ronaldo went to real Madrid, Madrid already has over 10 champions league cup, before lionel messi Barca has 1.

So tell me who's more influential.

Na high BP go kill Ronaldo fans

Get a life and stop being petty

Tell Messi to step outside Lali Ga. Na that time we will know if he is a GOAT or COW.

Make Messi win trophy with his national team (not youth) and I go call him GOAT.


Neymar Jn, Ronaldo Delima, Beckham, Eto’o even Sallah leave one club join another, dem still be baba. Messi, abeg wether you dey happy for Barca or not, just try am make your face clear.




Messi, abeg win champe with 2 different clubs make I see.




Na two GOAT dey, one from Argentina and the other from Portugal Chikena!!!

Bullshit

Barcelona wey dey chop am left right and front without messi? Dat one na team. Mtchew

FIFA used open ballot system of democracy, Your hardwork can only earn you a nomination, your fate ultimately lies in the hands of your fellow sportsmen, Refrees , Coaches and players accross the world overwhelmingly choose Messi over C.Ronaldo..

When Messi losses awards he graciously accepts defeat and work on a better outing in the other season, he doesnt write criptic messages to incite fans


..

You dey mind the confused lots. Messi's greatness is not up for any debate, except you just wan dey lie give yourself

OP, the records enumerated above are great, but just know that CR7 has broken more fanatic records by all standards.

Ronaldo lost out because he isn't as popular and acceptable among fellow professional footballers and fans, perhaps because of his perceived pride instinct and lousy subjective mien.
Again, this is life, you can't write off the incidences of envy too.

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.

The said love is blind , but i tell you hatred is more blind
Some people are too blind to see what this guy does with football because of their hatred for his ingenuity
You see , i use to be in their shoes

Ronaldo has never in his career had half of the amount of goal assists that Messi has every season back to back. Messi doesn't play selfish football. If Ronaldo start to give assists like Messi does, his goal scores will reduce by half. If Messi doesn't give assists like Ronaldo, Messi will be scoring like 100 goals every season. Messi is the true GOAT, Maybe Ronaldo is a sheep

Mods moved this to FP?

Nawa o

I know nothing about football tho but Messi is my favourite footballer.

ok

Messi is the real ....... GOAT

There's nothing anybody can twist about this award.

Ronaldo and his bitter envious supporters should go prepare for next season.

The real GOAT

Messi is the GOAT, CR7 is a rapist he goat.

Rubbish post.... The OP must be a Barca fan. . Always being sentimental

Messi will win it for 10th time

This one is nonsense post.
