He made mugs of our back 4 , the lad is dynamite, if Gazza and Maradona had a child Messi is the offspring
Makes you wonder what Barca will!l do when he retires?
Anyone who thinks any other footballer apart from Ronaldo is better than Messi is just a nostalgia merchant
Messi and Cristiano are from another planet, 2 absolute freaks.

Couldn't agree more. He's better than anyone from the older era because football these days is technically a lot better than it was years ago. In my opinion Messi is untouchable along with Ronaldo. 2 freaks of nature.
Worth the price of the ticket just to see him play
Genius
Hounslow I'm still glad I didn't travel all the way to Wembley to see us get battered, but fair play mate, he is a genius.
Messi had a fine game Don, and is one of the world greats, but Pele for me was better, and could dominate teams on a world stage at world cups, dominating a defence that contains defenders like Trippier and Davies my granny could do that.
Sandy, he doesn't just do it against the likes of Trippier and Davies come on mate. Did tell you we would get schooled though mate

I'm as much of a Messi fanboy as the next person.
Having said that, I'd like to see him try and replicate his skills in a pair of these.

On a muddy pitch, and with what was basically an inflated handbag for a ball.
He was unplayable yesterday. What a player! GOAT.
He struggled against better teams like Girona and Leganes in the league this season. It will have been nice to get a welcome break and play dross in the CL. This is what happens when you give a weak league 4 automatic places in the CL. You end up with garbage teams in the CL.
Best player I've ever seen

Great player no doubt but it’s been a while since we saw him play like that . Perhaps maybe because not many top teams give him the freedom of the park like we did.
Amazing player no doubt but a toss up with Ronaldinho for me who made football fun.

Ronaldinho at his best would surely be comparable to both Messi and Ronaldo at their best but he falls miles behind overall (he's my favourite player btw)

When I first went to the Nou Camp the attacking 4-3-3 lineup was Ronaldinho,a very young Messi and Samuel Eto'o.
Ronaldinho was by far and away the best player ever to have walked the Planet,after every match on the big screens there they'd show 5-10 minutes of his flicks and tricks he was an amazing showman.
Unfortunately like a lot of South Americans and especially Brazilians coming from being absolutely dirt poor,to having untold riches in civilized Europe where no-one's robbing you at gunpoint in the street he went off the rails.
Became a playboy his parties were legendary and that was the end if the most promising career in football,make no mistake he was in the next level ABOVE Ronaldo and Messi in his prime!
Blue, really ? Ronaldinho was incredible, but above Messi and Ronaldo in his prime ? Nostalgia bulls** mate, not a chance. Didn't have anywhere near the level of consistency as these 2 and certainly nowhere near the same goal scoring rate. He was a spectacular player no doubt, but he's not on Messi or Ronaldo's level.

My point was that with all three at their very best, in their absolute peak in an individual game Ronaldinho would be either as good or possibly better (as blueinbarca is saying)
True, but you can say that for anyone mate. Fat Ronaldo at his absolute best. Zidane at his absolute best. All these superb players were all amazing, but they are not freaks of nature like Messi and Ronaldo. 2 incredible players that are the best footballers on the planet.
