    The man isn't just gifted, but has that all important winning mentality, even in friendlies.

    Their should be far more players out there like him than there currently is.

    I'm absolutely gobsmacked by the boy, you constantly think that he surely can't get any better but he is still improving and it is scary.

    Undoubtedly the best player in the world but until he wins the World Cup will still rank behind Maradona , Zidane and Pele for me.

    I'de rate him over Zidane myself, is he the greatest player i've witnessed in my lifetime ?! Possibly..

    I will and still catalogue everything he does just so i have references to tell the grandkids.

    Btw PS ! What a game I would have given my left pinky toe to watch. An Argentina v Brazil friendly that ended 4-3 !

    The Champions League is a far better quality of tournament than the World Cup these days imo.

    The disappointment in the Brazilian commentator's voice is obvious, despite me not understanding Portuguese. He almost spits when Argentina score their equaliser.

    It made me realise that English commentators are no different to those from any nation. They all talk about football in relation to their own team and they always show bias.

    It's just that we don't hear or understand the others.

    However, that's probably for another thread!

    Possibly.

    A World Cup IMO though brings with it unrivalled pressure and expectation (especially for the big nations) that far surpasses the Champions League so if Messi can manage to win it for Argentina he would become the best of all time for me. Until then i'd have him behind the three I mentioned.

    Certainly on a night where Ronaldo did nothing yet again on the biggest stage, it's further evidence that he is head and shoulders at least above any other current player.

    Is he the best of all time? Maybe, certainly I'd argue he's up against much stronger, fitter defenders than all the other candidates for the honour, except Zidane I guess, yet he still either goes through them like they aren't there or simply runs past them!

    I do agree that he needs a World Cup. Pulling that off in Brazil in 2 years time... That would make him the best ever!

    Producing top class performances year after year in the Champions League far surpasses hitting a purple patch in a tourmament only held every four years IMHO. Times have changed and International football is no longer the be all and end all. Let's just pretend that I agree with you though. There is a decent argument to be made for George Best being the greatest player these islands ever produced. Should we rank him behind the England World Cup winners in terms of all round ability? I know who the bright shining star for was for from that era and it wasn't Geoff Hurst.

    For me thats the very reason the World Cup is still the absolute pinnacle of any footballers career because it only happens every four years.

    You could also make an arguement that Messi is also helped in the Champions League by the fact he is playing in probably the best club team ever , of which he is without doubt the main man , but with the help of other legends like Xavi (who is IMO also one of the best players of all time) , Iniesta and Villa.

    Great point about Best.

    I think Messi is the best player ever, even if he never gets a WC winners medal.

    For me, it's about ability, not silverware, and I've never seen anyone as skilled or as consistent.

    For me Messi is the best i have ever seen. I have never seen anyone on film or live, do the things he does, as regularly as he does.

    A genius with a football, a goalscorer and a team player.

    I'd dread to think just how much he'd be worth if Barca were stupid enough to sell him?
