Imagine being as good as Lionel Messi, even if it was just for one match. Think of the score your Sunday league team would rack up with you playing on Messi's level. This compilation video shows he's not just fancy runs and goals.
At this point it's fair to say that we'll never really settle the whole Messi or Ronaldo debate, at least not to a point that everyone agrees. And that's okay, let's just appreciate for them both being brilliant.

On the other hand one thing we can certainly agree with is the fact that when it comes to discussing the greatest players ever both of those men are in the discussion.
Of course it's generally their goalscoring exploits that merit their inclusion in the list however one Twitter user put together an incredible compilation video of some of Messi's ridiculous passing:

The first question I've got is how aren't more of these moves finished off by his teammates?! They'd have scored a lot more if Messi was on the end of some of his passes.
Despite not being able to defend the La Liga title or getting his hands on the Champions League trophy it was still an unreal season for Messi on a personal level.
The Argentine scored his 500th goal for Barca when he bagged a spectacular goal to win El Clasico in the last minute at the Bernabeu and ended with 37 goals in the league and 11 in the Champions League.

Messi is now up to 507 goals for Barcelona in just 583 games whilst he's also bagged 58 times for Argentina.
Is there anyone better than him?
