FIFA Criteria to Officially Be Called the GOAT of Football (13-Point Standard)

To earn the undisputed title of Greatest of All Time, a player must meet all of the following 13 criteria:

FIFA should look into this and make little adjustment.

So, no one is the GOAT yet, but who will most likely achieve it?

Maybe, whoever is closer to the 13-points wins temporarily until someone meets the 13-points.

Are you sure he can get 3 more trophies before retirement? For goals, he's at around 874, so 26 more.

Can he?

iLegendd Evening boss. Sorry for my late reply.🙏🙏 Na work oooo.

Messi is on 874 career goals; 26 Goals to clock 900. 100% possible.
14 more assists to clock 400. 100% possible.
Messi is on 69 free kick goals; 1 more free kick goal to make it 70. 100% possible.
Messi has about 46 career trophies; 4 more to clock 50. 70% possible. Cos wit Messi notin is impossible. grin grin

The problem would be wit the trophies. Having 4 trophies wit Inter Miami will be difficult. He will definitely bag 2 or more trophies if he can get a loan move to Barca and probably get the rest from the national team.

But I blif Messi will reach 50 career trophies if he still plays for the next two to 3 yrs. Cos wit Messi notin is absolutely impossible. grin grin

YES MESSI WILL BREAK THE CRITERIA AND BCOM THE UNDISPUTED GOAT.
