That's why Messi is the GOAT while Kane is merely a good player

messi is the undisputed goat of football, real knowers know that from 2009, every single year, there has only been one best player in the world and that is messi

If there was a way to objectively measure players just for their own individual output (without just goals or anything that requires another person's contribution) messi would always come on top. But then you have to also remember that he recieved HGH as a kid which made his body better than what it would (even if he didn't have dwarfism because hgh enhances general muscle strength and other physical aspects too) , so its kind of unfair for other players to compete with a man who had the raw technical abilities of a 1 in a billion talent, which furthermore got enhanced by crazy drugs. It might sound insane but messi is kind of like Homelander of football (minus the personality). Prime messi was a different beast he wasn't clocking 38 kph top speeds like mbappe or henry but he was still very fast and boy was he strong, once he was on the ball it was almost impossible to muscle him off it

>sport is so dead that were still comparing Messi to the new gen

messi is the benchmark of greatness, to even be compared to him is an achievement for a player. we will , never and I mean it with all my heart, ever see a player like him anymore. It genuinely just occurred to me last night that this WC was the last time we ever witnessed a player of his calibre and I genuinely teared up
