He is up there with Xavi, Iniesta, Pirlo and other midfield greats. This is no argument. His game has aged like fine wine.
The way he played today is what I honestly expected to see Messi play . Especially passing wise
MEssi will likely be 36 by the time he leaves PSG, he wouldn't even fit into the starting formation due to the way he currently plays to preserve himself.
I see him either going to Newells or Inter Miami by the end of 2023
Messi is still top 10 IMO. He only does poor compared to his past versions of himself. Only a few younger players are ahead of him. Most of these wonderkids running around still haven't even touched his diasterclass form :lol:
Superstars help better sell the team, Haaland will be the focus and others like Pedri, Gavi and Ansu will be auxiliary for those that prefer someone different to him.
