His 38 goals in all competitions back in 2020/21, playing with a dreadful team should be revisited. Let‘s see if Lewa can reach this number with a far superior team..

No way that was his peak. Barely beating Dortmund, Atalanta and Leipzig on one-match-knockouts without a crowd is no big achievement. His prime was without argument 2014/15 to 2017/18. His was at his absolute best in the (calendar) year of 2015

Valverde, Alba and Dembele should be put to JAIL for denying the GOAT his 5th CL after that epic season

up until 11/12 he was a decent dribbler

Insane...Great times..

I'm going to stop you right there brother. France 2018/2022 better than Brazil 2002, Italy 2006, Spain 2010 and Germany 2014? I'd argue they are closer to the bottom of the group than the top

There's no doubt that the only players in history that are remotely comparable to Messi are Pele and Maradona. The list ends there. And Messi has inarguably the best trophy cabinet. Hell according to France Football's Ballon D'Or reevaluation, Maradona should have won only 2. Messi has...

2018/19 was probably the last good season for a player of his caliber (meaning top 10 in the world). He was truly fearsome between 2008 and 2016 or so. In 2017 and 2018 he was still great, but that Real team was truly unbelievable. Never followed his career that closely, but which season(s)...

:lol:

Man came completely out of shape at the beginning of that season :lol: Still scored 73 goals in the season, just for Barca

Yeah when you think about it, 2 finals is impressive. Others have never reached the quarters in their prime :crbust:

Btw Pele winning 3 WCs is one of the biggest myths of all time :lol: He was injured in one of them, did not even play...If anything, it shows that that Brazil team was legendary on its own.

Yeah but you have to put into consideration that the game vs Croatia was pretty much sealed at that point (although Argentina are notorious for defending 2-0 leads :lol:)

I’ve been thinking today…The assist against Holland has to be his most iconic ever, right? There is no other assist that combines the crucial moment with a sublime execution. Notable candidates (from the top of my mind, I might be forgetting a couple): -To Eto’o vs Bayern (2009) -To Henry vs...

Of course the greatest Barca legend BY far will be a topic of discussion, especially after winning the freaking WC :lol:

He literally has won everything he could win, his resume is beyond complete and I doubt that it can be ever be topped.

Winning the 2016 Euro was a great achievement (despite not even playing in the final), but you can‘t be considered in the Pantheon(let alone the GOAT) with this WC career. We all agree that Portugal is no juggernaut, but they were good enough to win the Euros, weren‘t they. They were good enough...

True,to an extent. First of all, as I mentioned, the next Ballon will be awarded in 11 months. It is a long time. If Messi plays average, the feat will be forgotten/lessened. If the voting was now, Messi would probably sweep the award. Secondly, when was the last time a WC champion won the...

It is not sealed and it shouldn't be sealed IMO. Giving the Ballon based on 7 games of football is stupid to begin with, especially because the next Ballon will be awarded in 11 months :lol: France Football fucked up badly, they should have given the 2022 Ballon a little later to include the...

Gap was (unfairly) tight in 2018, since then Leo has won 2 Ballons, 1 Copa and 1 WC. He must be fuming.
