If Messi plays the whole WC26 tournament and wins the WC, I would say Messi's WC career is more impressive than that of Pele's.Apparently needed world cup to be the best.
7 games which are more important than having most Ballon dor, goal contributions, golden boots, calendar goals in one year, goals in Spanish league, assists for country, goal contributions in World Cup history and copa america, best goal and assist ratio in CL history, 2 of 3 best goals in football history.
Now, the world cup was rigged. If he retains it, Pele still has 3, right?
TL;DR : if you compare anyone with this guy, you need to unplug the cables instantly.
Messi would have reached 3 WC finals, being the captain on every one of those editions and winning 2/3 finals, while Pele played 2 WC and the 3rd WC in which he got injured in the group stages.
