5. Messi breaks Barcelona scoring record

Barcelona 5-3 Granada, 20 March 2012

Messi broke Barcelona's goalscoring record at the age of 24 - the only way he knows how, with a hat-trick.

He equalled Cesar Rodriguez's record of 232 goals with his first against Granada, broke it with his second and extended the record with the third.

Messi, now 32, is on 627 Barcelona goals and counting (when La Liga restarts) - almost 400 clear of anybody else.
400 goals clear!

I don't know how you can talk about Messi football career without Nigeria involve. The dude singlehandedly destroy our team anytime we meet. From world youth championship, Olympics and up to world cup. The grudge some Nigerians still hold against him.

Even Ronaldo once said, I think 2018 and I quote

"I thank the god of soccer, Messi and the God of my god of soccer, Jesus... If not for the creator and the wonderful creature, Messi, I would still be serving coffee in a bar now.. I didn't go to school coz I am a drop out and no good job will come my way except coffee shop.. Thank God Messi existed, his existence brought me to life. Thank you messi", Says Ronaldo.

the only thing u can say about this match is Rinaldo scoring goals.... which is good...bring up any whereby Ronaldo tore unto 5playerz and scored ..wen we talk about Ronaldo the only thing we talk about is penalty and goals .wen we talk about messi. ..we don't just about goals ...we talk about goals ...mesmerizing displays ...es....nutmeggs and so many other things that makes football a beauty ...If goal ratio is a yardsticj to measure how great the two were then Ronaldo should have been miles ahead of messi...but even reverse is still the case cos messi still scores as much as he doesn't .."DAT speaks a lot"....messi is a better all round footballer than Ronaldo am sorry..this argument is still hot today cos they are still close in comparison and in record but in the next 4years we won't ave cos to have so much debate cos messi will still likely win one or two ballon d or while Ronaldo will unlikely win any....let's quit the sentiments

When Messi gave up playing for Argentina, a fan cried and said to him that even if Messi plays in heaven, he will die just to watch him play and that made Messi came back

Although I like Messi for his remarkable talent, it's Cristiano Ronaldo that strikes me the most. He's the complete player. He's a role model for young players everywhere for his dedication to hardwork, his never-say-die attitude, and the resolve to keep getting better. If only Ronaldo had stayed at Real Madrid...
I am willing.

Messi has a far greater number of iconic performances than CR7 against all kinds of opposition. It is for this reason he has the highest man of the match awards in football since 2008. This is a fact that your sentiments cannot supersede.

Respect to Messi no doubt, a genius he is. The carefully and rigorously selected moments still lack anything memorable outside of Barcelona. It makes me doubt how much of a genius he is. Real geniuses and legends shine irrespective of their environment or conditions.

Argentina went out in the second round in Russia 2018 World Cup against

7. Messi wins World Cup golden ball

1-0 Argentina, 13 July 2014

In theory this should have been one of Messi's greatest moments - being named the best player in a World Cup. His lack of a senior international trophy (he won the 2008 Olympics) is sometimes held against him in debates on the greatest player of all time.

But it was a strange decision, with many observers thinking he had underwhelmed in the knockout rounds, having scored four goals in the group stages. He was disappointing too in the final defeat by .

Even then-Fifa president Sepp Blatter said he was "a little bit surprised" and Argentina legend Diego Maradona called the decision "unfair".

That final defeat in Brazil may be the closest he ever comes to winning the World Cup as they went out in the quarter-finals four years later in Russia, despite his memorable goal against Nigeria.

Messi briefly retired from international football in 2016 after losing in the Copa America final for the third time, and again considered his future after the 2018 World Cup but he is still going on.

Someone said if Messi had taken all the PK he left for his teammates, and all assists he chose to make instead of selfishly going for goals... that he would be the highest scorer in champions league history!

The humble GOAT!

Ronaldo is the highest goal scorer in champions league history and HE HAS THE HIGHEST NUMBER OF ASSISTS ALSO.. so tell me if he selfishly went for goals himself instead of assisting his team mates, how many goals do you think he would have??

You can argue about other things, but dont compare messi and ronaldo when it comes to champions league.. Ronaldo is called Mr. champions league for a reason
