FACT 👌
Almiron:
Most assists.
Most chances created.
Most goals contributions in football history.
Most dribbles completed ever.
Most Ballon d’Ors.
Most Golden Boots.
Most Playmaker Awards.
Most MOTM awards.
Highest goals-per-game ratio.
Most trophies in football history.
Greatest individual World Cup run ever.


There’s only one man who ticks every single box and he didn’t need a PR machine, staged gym documentaries, or algorithm propaganda to convince the world.

He didn’t have to sneak into a Saudi prince’s entourage to meet Donald Trump.
He didn’t beg Piers Morgan to host a therapy session to cry about teammates.
He didn’t run from awards because he couldn’t handle someone else shining.
He just played ball and the world agreed.


The debate ended years ago, some people just refused to accept it.

And the funniest part?
He’s still going to break the all-time goals record before he retires… the desert lord is about to cope in 4K.


It’s always been Messi.
There was never a debate.

Who cares about assists...assist that no one kept records back in the day...as Messi fans see say Messi no fit meet up with Ronaldo goals ...them start to de upgrade assists like bebex wey de upgrade old Mercedes .... I have never seen best assists award or highest assist award, or golden assist ... no one awards assists , yet Messi fans wan de force assist ... Ronaldo has the highest assist in champions league history, but we don't care about it ... we all know klose is the highest goal scorer in world cup history, but not one even know the person with the most assists in world cup ...Yekini na Naija top scorer ...pls who be Naija top assist maker... Shearer na EPL highest ever goal scorer , who get most assist for EPL..u will have to Google it , that's if its even Accurate... Assists na same with number of tackles
And who are you to tell the football body which category they should award an accolade for ....a man is leading every thing in the possession and creative part of football and you see that as nothing special. .then of course you know close to nothing about the round leather game....Juhan Cruyff is how much we celebrate him today not cos of goals alone but for every other productive things he does as a beauty in the game...same thing Messi has done more of ...if all what makes football meaningful to you is goals....then u and your Ronaldo "who painfully still doesn't have a world cup trophy and will likely never have one" should create your own football body and award what u like in Lisbon or abule egba ...thanks


Rubbish!!

Did you just said Assistant Goat? Assistant to who? Assistant to your goat that couldn't go beyond preliminary stage at the world cup? Messi has won everything but your goat hasn't. So, who should be the Goat here?

That's to tell you how unselfish he is.



Messi is more of a team player than one seeking for individual glory.......He showed that to world when he passed the ball to Suarez to score in a PK he was supposed to take. Not all players will do that, I nor mention any player name o.

People understand now that it's not all about who kicked the ball last. The fact that you are scoring doesn't mean that you did the work alone.
Messi is a team player - he is valuable to the development of other players in the team, not just scoring goals and developing himself.
But your Ronaldo mostly cares about himself.

Insecurity is eating you up, they didn’t mention Ronaldo, but you just find a way to bring him in. If he’s not that important you wouldn’t have been having headache about him to the point of bringing him into a matter that doesn’t concern him. Why can’t you celebrate your Messi in peace without mentioning Ronaldo

If I remember clearly, Messi refuse to test himself in mancity.... Even when city is ready to offer him the wage he demanded ....u don't judge all lions by what they do individual otherwise they all will be considered as kings but by their actions at the top levels that's where u can truly know who's king....

I don't hate on Messi but Ronaldo is a better completed player than him with a proven stats.

Yes inesta should have won balloon d'or

Don't think Miami will bottle it this time around though. In fact I dey suspect Miami will hand out a big lesson like a 4-1 in that match just like they've been doing throughout the ko rounds.

Good to hear from you again bro.

I just don't want to get my hopes high but I believe they should put through.

U can get goals without assists...assists can't be recored without a goal ... a short side pass will also be recorded as an assist ... Maradona fantastic goal against England also had an assist, and it was a side normal pass from his own half without any pressure

Messi the total package.
Trophy number 47, Assist number 405, Goals number 896 ( 4 more goals to reach 900 career goals.
A player wit almost 900 career goals and still the has the highest assist at 405. If this is not insane then I wonder wat it is.

As for pendu fans, remember Messi has just clinched his 47 career trophy. cheesy
What trophy did he clinch?

so there was no record, but puskas got an award.

Ronaldo is just stressing himself because he can never beat pele's goal record.

Messi still got better goals record than Ronaldo because Ronaldo have played more than 150 games more than Messi and still use just some few goals to surpass Messi.

According to FiFa and Guinness book of record, no man has scored the number of goals Ronaldo has scored....infact Ronaldo is the first and only person to score 900 goals .... Puskas was never given an award for assists ...the real problem with assists is that Fifa never took it seriously...so there's no real record for assists... Pele wey been de add friendly games and junior tournaments and even goals he scored at training as part of his goals....

Messi has better goal record cos he has played lesser games grin grin...na this one una wan claim now ... na e be say mbappe, halaand , puskas , Di stephano all have better goal record than Messi cos they also have played lesser games

geoworldedu:
It's like you don't understand football. Ronaldo is less prolific in goals than Messi. The reason why Ronaldo has more goals than Messi is because he started playing football before Messi. He has scored those extra goals before Messi. He is older than Messi. If they should retire at the same age eventually, Messi will have more goals than him. The case of the two of them is like saying Suarez has more goals than Mbappe, without considering how many more years Mbappe still has to play compared to Suarez.
But messi first scored a champions league goal b4 Ronaldo

But he was being benched, so he could not score more. He only became a starter at 2008/2009 UCL. Before he became that starter, Ronaldo has even won the UCL with Man Utd. Ronaldo is 3 years older than Messi.
