No Barca can can will utter those gibberish u said bro, ever since Xavi and iniesta has gone, Messi has won ballod'or and FIFA best player, IPPS play maker award (only player to won it 4x) La Liga reach UCL semi final 2x... With a opponent turn deficit of 3goals overnight (is that Messi fault).

Messi has 20 assists last season with highest goal scorer in the league, literally carried the club all these while, Messi create more chances and has highest assist than both Xavi and iniesta combine, pls get your fact right before you argue pls.

Messi of Barca is the same of that Argentina.Take a look at their goal chart except Lautaro, Messi is the one that scored last 10 goals of Argentina. He is the country all time highest goal scorer, singlehandedly took the country to last world cup, even in 2014 reach the wold cup final and won the golden ball, wat else do u want
Good morning, I didn't downplayed Messi's ability cos he is a great player OK, but look at Barca team, Coutinho was bought to replace Iniesta but he flopped and Barca loaned him to Bayern. Barca was angry with Coutinho cos he didn't play exactly or better than Iniesta. Coutinho won Champions League with Bayern and planned to continue with Bayern but Barca said no. We all know Barca as an attacking team with the best midfield, can we still say the same of Barca now ? Champion league against Atlanta was a miracle but Bayern was a disgrace. We are watching Barca so far this season and we will watch till the end of the season, thank you. NB the argument was someone saying that Messi is ahead of Pele which FIFA, BBC etc has rejected based on the statistics of their football at the World level.

I didn't doubt Messi ability and I would never do, in the subject above, you sees Messi as the greatest and not Pele whom BBC, FIFA and proclaimed as the best. The question you didn't answer is, Messi in Barca and Messi in Argentina, which of the two do you prefer? I have no issue with Ronaldo because Messi is better than him but we are looking at Messi and Pele. World Cup is the highest football tournament and not UEFA Champions League nor any other league, Pele's statistics is 92 matches with 77 goal, with 3 World Cup trophy but Messi has played 140 times for Argentina and the thread showed his total goals and number of World Cup trophy won, thank you.
Bro, chill....I never compared Messi and Pele nor do I rate Messi the greatest...read my comments.....I never watched Pele play so I can't tell..... I'm talking about Messi's generation..... he's the best.

I’m an Arsenal fan but don’t let us carry this thing too far. Henry wont even make the list of Top 20 footballers ever.
that's you, I will take it very far as much compare him to Delima, if only he played for Madrid or Barcelona during his prime the story would have been differ, Henry outclass Delima when they face each other at champions league and World Cup, yes Delima won the golden Boot in World Cup we all know anybody playing 9 in that Brazil team that year will definitely win that golden shoe... Henry was by far the complete striker, don't forget Henry carried Arsenal on his shoulder before his departure... Henry won 4 golden shoe in epl, three was hatrick, Henry was denied world best, not once but twice.... More over Henry will make the cut in top 20 footballers.


I'm not being sentimental, I have gone through history, watch clips, read alot before coming to conclusion that Henry is better than Delima who is everyone's favourite. Thank you tongue

Bro, first and foremost...Coutinho wasn't even a starter at bayern and Bayern didn't want him after the loan....he was on his was back to the epl most likely arsenal at that time as Barca wanted to sell him until
Koeman came in called him back

Secondly, Barcelona didn't play Atalanta....it was Napoli...and what do u mean by it was a miracle?

U can keep watching Barcelona as long as u want.... everyone knows Messi has been the one carrying Barcelona since the past 3 seasons.... If he decides not to carry Barcelona this time around, we can't complain...he clearly wanted to leave...

How many did maradona scored in his entire career compare to Messi, yes he is also a playmaker but not a polific goal scorer..
Re: Pele Ranked The Greatest Footballer Of All Time By BBC Poll, Messi 2nd by ThierryJay: 12:55pm On Oct 28, 2020
Men, I came late to this party. BBC has a reasonable basis for its list. All pained cr7 fans should go and take it out on their buckets. The fact is there is no football body, agency or journalist that would not ultimately rank Messi higher than CR7. Its common knowledge within the football world and its only CR7 fans that are living in denial and delusion.

Personally, my ranking for best ever is as follows:

1 - Pele-Messi-Maradona (All three are the GOAT)
4 - Ronaldo De Lima
5 - CR7
6 - Zidane
7 - Cryuff
8 - Di Stefano
9 - Ronaldinho
10-Romario-Puskas

Pele world cup is bigger than Messi or ronaldo champs league, even ronaldo has more champions league than Messi...

Also in Pele days ballondor was given only to Europeans, if re-adjusted, Pele has 7 legit ballondor, na the partiality ones of Messi

Pls learn how to read properly... the ballon d or was for European players only then. Pele is a Brazilian and not an European. The championship was not a competitive game then. the world cup was the only competitive game as for that time.

You don't love Henry more than I do, but please I beg you in the name of God, do not compare Henry to delinma again. That man is the greatest striker of all time and his by far the 4th greatest striker of all time.

Delinma wasn't even a striker but an all round footballer. While all players I have seen have like 3-5 moves to beat their marker, delinma has more than 15 different ways to beat his marker.

Delinma is above Henry in every ways. What delinma did at the world cup in 2902 when he went two years injury and came back less than 3months to the world cup to score 8goals is never going to be repeated again

Whenever, Eto wins a world cup, a confederations cup (as player of the tournament), an Euro cup, enters another world cup final, comes 2nd in World player of the year 2 times, and wins the top Leagues' player of the season three times, then you can say his career matches that of Henry.

I agree with you that De Lima is better and greater than Henry, however not in every way was he above. Henry was a better passer/playmaker and had more speed than R9. I may also say Henry had better juggling and volley technique than de Lima.

I think prime Henry (2002-2006) was slightly better than post-2002 R9. However Pre-1999 monstrous R9 was well a cut above prime Henry

both Delima and Henry are in the same level until everyone agrees then I'm cool lol.

What every person I have had this argument used is his international achievement and injuries, like we are quick to forget that then Brazil national team was always the favourites in all competitions from 1994 to 2006 World Cup, no team, I repeat no team in the world series can match that of Brazil during those years, imagine Henry in that creative team? Lets not forget Henry was robbed off the world player of the year, not once but twice cause he was playing for Arsenal and English league... Let's go back and watch the match between Real Madrid (Ronaldo) vs Arsenal (Henry) or France (Henry) vs Brazil (Ronaldo) Henry was class all round, and knocked him out.


Since I started watching football, these two are the most decorated and greatest forward/striker of all time. And I love both.. But I'm pure Henry fan.. no vex o
