But how many people can boast of, "ask andres iniesta, xavi and the others" ? As for me, if you wan' know who I be ask Pele, Socrates, Zidane, Okocha and Ronaldo de lima. Even Thierry Henry still dey confirm those days.


U guys keep on calling okocha.....pls can anyone mention one major trophy that okocha won in football... football is not by dribbles and juggling... The end justifies the means... Even the nations cup he won in 94, he was just a fringe player

He destroyed Real Madrid with reckless abandon.
Scored difficult goals with incredible efficiency.

I won't be surprised after ten years, some will also start doubting Messi greatness.

Messi is the Michael Jackson of football. No footballer in history has been spoken of like Messi, he will not be forgotten that easily. Such talents come once in centuries. If you do not agree, then go suck a lemon cheesy

He was entertaining and likeable. This is what he won, CROWD SUPPORT. In this life, many unqualified people are in respectable/prestigous positions because of CROWD SUPPORT. A good example is Nigerian President, Buhari.

He's somehow right....
He won the Champions league with Barca alongside Ronaldinho before Messi became a star in 2006.
Pep was only able to win the Champions league once - 10/11 after Eto left Barca.
Eto also won the trophy only once 09/10 after leaving Barca for Inter.
undecidedwhats this one saying ? The new golden era for Barca starter with dinho and probably deco , and extended Messi,iniesta,xavi.....eto was a great player for Barca but he was never the best player in Barca at any stage .

Modric contribution to the team was more than his (CR7) last season, hence his being crowned as world best. Yes Ronaldo had more goals than him in country and club yet his (Modric) contribution was more. Yes goals determine the winner of games, but the goal scorer is not always the biggest contributor to the team. That's why Ronaldinho was the world best ahead Eto'o and Henry in their time, Canavaro, a defender won world best, Figo, Zidane etc won world best despite not being the highest goal scorers.

From 2005 Messi has become a household name, at the age of 19 he scored Maradona type of goal against Getafe, scored had trick against Real Madrid.
In 2006 he won the best young player in the world.
In 2007 he was the third best player in the world behind kaka and Ronaldo.
In 2008 Messi came second to Ronaldo and 2009 when Eto left at the summer he won the ballon d'or. In those years Eto was at his prime so a man with these records you de call nobody?
Nwoke when did you start watching football?

Your point of argument is faulty! Everybody knows the whole Madrid as a squad has been on a declining for like 2 seasons now. Yes they managed to win champions League last season but the signs of weakness were there. That's why Zidane left, and PART of the reasons CR7 too left. If Modric was not at that midfield, there is high probability that Madrid won't win cuz CR7 won't see quality supplies of ball to score. So, CR7 contribution was significant, but Modric contribution that last season was much more significant than his. Except you want to tell me that all the professionals that voted him were fools or they did that solely on world cup performance where he equally had less goals than CR7. CR7 is naturally a better player but for that season, Modric top him in contribution to Madrid. But I must say that he has also dropped this season.

oga are u even listening to itself? a team that has been winning the UCL back to back in recent seasons has been in decline? the UCL is arguably the highest silverware any club can win and a team that has dominated it as if it their personal property in the past few seasons was on decline?

That means Modric played better than Messi as well in La liga since he won the best world best... Agree??

Bro! Your POV is the problem of Africans. All you see is today, not minding the strength of the mechanism you giving you that today's winning. Yes they won back to back, but careful observation and analysis of the team would tell you the team strength drop season-in season-out. That's the fact, it's now left for you to accept it or not. If the team is as strong as you portray it then why is it down now? Or are you telling me that the exit of CR7 alone is what crash the whole Madrid team, as if he is the only one that plays all the positions. Don't tell me you are part of the people that project that narrative because if you are then that means you can believe anything. A team or company winning today doesn't mean all is good. That's why Facebook, Alphabet, Amazon, Apple Inc are buying up new innovative company to cover their weakness and strengthened themselves for tomorrow, and Mcity, Barcelona and even R.Madrid buy players to shore-up the team against weakness despite them winning ATM.

Overall Yes he did! If not he wouldn't have won world best ahead of Messi and C. Ronaldo. And CR7 performed better than Messi that season that's why he was ahead of Messi. No sentiment about it. A player natural potential is different from actual performance in a given season. That's why people who knows the game would tell you Ronaldinho is the most naturally gifted of this generation but Messi and CR7 play more purposeful football than him hence their greater achievement. Messi is more gifted but CR7 is the most hardworking football player I even known. In that line of comparison, CR7 and Messi are of better quality naturally, but for last season, Modric topped the 2 in performance EOD!

Nonsense. I still remember the 6 - 2 thrashing of Madrid in 2008/2009. Messi and Henry scored braces, even Puyol and Pique scored but this dude was just misfiring angry

Yes you were an important player for Barca, but your best moments were with Ronaldinho.

weren't messi's best moments with xavi and iniesta?

yes cr7 and they have not been able to find such an inspirational player to replace him. same will likely happen to barca if Messiah leaves without a capable replacement.
