To build an argument against Lionel Messi, you talk about:
— Pelé for the World Cups
— Cristiano Ronaldo for the goals
— De Bruyne for the assists
— Neymar and Maradona for the dribbling
— Zidane and Iniesta for the playmaking
— Xavi and Kroos for the passing
— Ronaldinho for the magic
— Beckham and Juninho for the free kicks
— Ronaldo Nazário for the individual brilliance
— Cruyff for the footballing influence
— Modrić for the midfield longevity
— Dani Alves for the trophies
— Ramos for the decisive moments
— Pelé and Maradona again for the international legacy
It takes an entire museum of football legends to recreate the qualities Lionel Messi carries in one body.
You bring a different legend for every category.
Messi brings himself.
The debate was over before it began. 🇦🇷🐐
🏆 NO ONE in World Cup history had ever won 5 Player of the Match awards in a single tournament…
🐐 Lionel Messi just hit that mark TWICE.
🏅 He set the bar.
🏅 He cleared the bar.
🏅 He IS the bar.
Back in 2018, Messi won the Golden Shoe, had 77 G/A in 54 games, went unbeaten in La Liga, and won the Spanish double.
Messi finished FIFTH in the Ballon d’Or and Modric won it because of his World Cup performances.
It’s only “utter nonsense” when it’s Messi… 🤷♂️
The system player Lionel Messi will feature in 3 World Cup finals, while the other guy, who can shine in any team, will never play in a World Cup final.
Hunter Biden on Trump: “I would tell him to go fuck his fucking self. And please leave. This man has tried to torture me for fucking ten years. The shit that he says about my dad. His obsession with tormenting my dad. Hanging a picture of an autopen on the colonnade. Demeaning him and all the things he said about him. What the fuck kind of man would I be if I didn’t tell him to go fuck himself?”
Últimos 3 sudamericanos en jugar una final del mundo:

Dando la cara por el CONTINENTE. La selección más grande de todas.
Preferring Ronaldo over Messi is just personal opinion and that’s okay.
But arguing that he’s objectively better than Messi right now? You need rehab cos you don mad!
Before Messi, no player had ever won the World Cup golden ball twice. In a few days, he’s almost certain to win his third.
Remember when folks questioned his international legacy? 😂
Lukaku is a better player than Cristiano Ronaldo.
The only difference is that CR7 has the media backing him. If you don't agree, you just hate Lukaku. 😒
“I’m supporting Spain so I can hate on Argentina and Messi” is one of the quickest ways to tell me you’re new to football.
Several of Spain’s players came through La Masia and grew up admiring Messi, including Lamine, Gavi, Cubarsí and Olmo.
Pedri isn’t from La Masia, but he joined Barça at 17 and has spoken about how Messi helped him when he arrived.
There’s so much admiration and history between them, so acting like Spain is the anti-Messi team makes no sense. Those are his “La Masia Children.”
Trump says Democrats forgot to rig the election in 2016, successfully rigged it while *he* was president in 2020, then forgot how to rig it again in 2024. So the only election Democrats supposedly stole was the one he himself controlled.
You have to be a special kind of stupid to believe this bullshit.
