This comparison is unfair, in football playing positions and formation matters a lot. Messi most time plays in more of free role, sometimes he is part of the attack and sometimes he plays as a play maker. This means Messi will always have access to the ball always and Barcelona largely built their team around him. Messi had 16 assist compared to Lewy’s 8, made 2525 accurate passes compared to Lewy’s 715.
Barca did not play a lone striker formation in 2021 but Bayern plays 4-3-2-1 with Lewy as the lone striker. As the final man, as the last man with such formation, who should he make all those passes to and give the assists to?
Messi as a play maker created 118 (big 26 big chances), Lewy created 55 (big8 chances) as a lone striker. Playing as a lone striker is not an easy task, it restricts you to just scoring goals and that’s why Lewy was able to score 5 goals in 9 minutes. Messi deserved the award but Lewy was much more deserving.
I’m an Arsenal and Ronaldo fan, but las las Messi na baba Miles ahead of the Ronaldo and the rest.
