Messi is the most successful player, but not the greatest player.

Messi feared challenges. Barcelona helped him alot to attain everything he had.
A programmed player who feared challenges. He never explored football. Barcelona's adopted child.

Cristiano Ronaldo is the greatest player in history of football. He conquered everywhere, Portugal, England, spain, Italy, saudi Arabia.

Nevertheless, Pele is the best footballer in history.

This is the reason Penaldo will do everything to stop Messi from playing in Saudi Arabia. He knows the real GOAT will make a mockery of any achievement he has done so far.

If Messi can play at least Three seasons more he can reach the 1k goals Hallmark.

Cristiano conquered ke? And he still has ZERO Player of the tournament award in 22 years of International football; ZERO world cup medal apart from trophy; ZERO world cup knock out goals and assists. Etc


Portugal won Euro without Cristiano on d pitch; Portugal lost Euro with him on the pitch; lost to war ravaged Iraq in Olympics men football; etc


EPL greatest and best football player of all time is Henry; La Liga best and greatest player of all time is Lionel Messi; Seria A best and greatest players of all time are Maradona and Maldini. Went to a top Saudi league club yet still stuck at ZERO official trophies. So what d bleep did Cristiano really conquer?

Even without using GPS, we Messi fans can locate where the pains went to.. 😀😀😀😂😂

He's the G. O. A. T
He's the S.I unit of football.
Goat of which league? The US men football is not advanced and still an amateur level league compared to others. Beside the Potus already recognised the Real Goat after inviting him to the white house . cool

HelenaWills:
I understand playoffs if you're fighting for qualifications but never heard of Playoffs that will pick some other teams below over the actual number one.
English championship does the playoff system of qualification tho. So it's not entirely alien in the UK.
Must every league be played in the same format as premier League? The following European countries have different format from EPL in determining the league winner
Belgium
Poland
Scotland
Cyprus
Israel
Belarus
Bulgaria
Macedonia (now North Macedonia)
Northern Ireland
Wales
Andorra

Even Nigerian premier League has the same format as MLS

I guess you people didn't watch Zindene zidane or Brazilian Ronaldo play football. Messi is good but he cant lace zidane's boot
The joke is on you. Even Zidane knows he's not mentioned when debating about who the GOAT is. I will pick Xavi and Iniesta ahead of Zidane anytime any day.

You are very funny.

So na only international football na you take dey rate messi! Lol!

Maradona carried the world-cup trophy, but Cristiano Ronaldo is still better than the maradona.
So what are you saying!

Know the difference between greatest and successful.

Mike tyson and Floyd Mayweather are the most successful boxer on earth, but Mohamed Ali is the greatest.

There is nothing like the settling of d goat debate, Messi has always been the GOAT of football as far back as 2011/2012 periods... As that time he was already hundred of miles away from other legendary figures such as Pele, maradona and others... Is it d eye test? D dribbling? D chance creation? D assists? Link up play? Etc
True talk .

Ronaldo is successful agreed but he's never the greatest. When talking of greatness, where is your world cup trophy. So far Ronaldo has ZERO. Where is your player of the tournament award? So far Ronaldo has ZERO. Where is your world cup medal? So far he has ZERO.

As for club football, yes he's highly successful but no player can erase Messi legacy as the best and greatest in Laliga. No player can erase Maldini and Maradona legacies as the best and greatest in Seria A history. Same goes for Henry in EPL.



Now will the greatest football player of all time will be found wanting of desperately stealing a goal 👇

Is this what you will tell impressionable young kids as facts.? Ronaldo embraces challenges naim he no play for Bologna in serial or El he in la liga . The guy with more assists than the two Spanish midfield maestroes in Barca is what you called a programmed player?! Over 400 plus Assists with a hundred more than the second most Assista is who you say they put things on a plate for.? Ost fouled player in known history of the game , most created chances , second to non in successful take ons . Are you kidding ?
How many goals can your Mr challenges assist Messi with if they play together in the same team then answer again how many would Messi do vice versa . For sure, there'll be lots of Tap-ins for the wannabe GOAT in triple double figures . Did Barcelona also assist him to shoulder Argentina to multiple tournaments Final among which is the ultimate international honour in Qatar that your goat is hanging on beyond his expiry date to lay his hands on ? A man with 48 trophies that he is the sole catalyst of histeam winning every single one of them is afraid of challenges! This should have me rolling on the floor in laughter if it wasn't such a pure trash to spew in the first place .
He ran from England, Germany, Italy Portugal you say but he has about 45 or so UCL goals playing against the best five teams in each of these leagues , I wonder if it's West brom , sassuolo, paderbon , Guimares et al that he would find it difficult to score . And to say your goat is not even close to him in GOAT ranking befuddles one even more if all these na whinging !

Mike Tyson and Floyd Mayweather are the most successful boxers on earth, but Mohammed Ali is the greatest.

Barcelona background helped him alot to achieve all that. His style of football is maintained by Barca's flow of the game. That is why when he left camp nou, he couldn't do anything again. Don't tell me about old age.

Player like messi should have travelled to other leagues to experience football. It was very poor of him to remain in Spain for such a long time, a player with good quality, the guy no try.

International football is all about luck. Don't bring that here. You will be surprise when canada carry dis 2026 worldcup. So let's forget about country match. Messi had grace during that 2022 worldcup.

We are focusing on club football.

I reapeat, messi can never become the greatest in my book. But i know he is the most successful player. Those two words are different.

Ronaldo explored and conquered football, and he did it with style. That is the definition of greatest!

U Ronaldo fans have been so battered by Messi that u all don't even have any strong arguments again. U said laliga is a farmer league because Messi battered and over dominated ur tapinaldo. Tapinaldo was only able to win Laliga two times in his 9 years in Spain. Messi and Barca overcooked d werey in Laliga.
Re: Lionel Messi's Inter Miami Defeats Vancouver Whitecaps To Win 1st MLS Cup Title by Love800(m): 4:23pm On Dec 11, 2025
Lol, calm down, stop reasoning with emotions.

You cant tell Michael owen(a very good football pundit and writer) that messi is the best player on earth.
He will come with many dimensions to why you think messi is the best!

There are many critical analysis, ideas, views, conclusions to this, not just putting messi in front and say you think he is the best.

Lol.
