Saw this the other day. *The* most spectacular player.

No player could dominate a match like him. Others may have better stats over a career or superior data, but no player could control a game or tournament like he did against Brazil (and others, having missed a game for a red card) in 98, or Brazil and Spain in 06 (having retired ffs). European Cup final winning goal? Ok. Match winning performance for Bordeaux v AC Milan in the Euro semis? Two goal international debut from the bench? Fine.

Pele, Maradona, maybe Cruyff. And Zidane. Possibly fat Ronald if he hadn’t got injured. If Messi and CRonald were that good Argentina and Portugal would have been world champions and Barcelona would have been European cup holders more often. There, I said it. What?
